This sounds wonderful:<br><br>"Super Extra Deluxe End Credits Suite."I really hooe it will come out at the beginning of november and not the end!Where can I purchase this soundtrack?In a year with so few released, inject this STRAIGHT into my veinsMore than Zimmer?
I honestly commend what Steve Jablonsky composed for the 2nd movie but I really have to say that Brian Tyler's theme was more heroic for me and I'm a big fan of orchestral music that's why I wanted to hear Tyler's Ninja turtles theme again.Maul’s Call, Empire Recruitment, End Credits Suite, etc. <br><br>This release looks amazing! :Othis is awesome!!!!Pemberton is probably the most obvious choice right now. I would definitely love to see Pemberton score this oneYep, I received the news too.<br>Antwerp Sportpaleis is now scheduled on 23rd February 2022, a Wednesday !<br>
Tour postponed to 2022 :'(Asides, Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy, dosen't sound like the two Jumanji written by Jackman, by anymeans, and in prefer those two scores over his Uncharted material, altough i like both.If you want a Silvestrian-type of action... Edmonson's action writting in the three Uncharted are terrific, specially Among the Thieves and Drake's Deception.i think Uncharted 4 and 2 have the best score. U2 is amazing in all regards but I hope Henry does the movie cause he's better at writing action musicIf is Paramount, expect a digital release, but this people is certainly very difficult to guess...
A exclusive clip from the film where some of Zimmer's score can be heard https://youtu.be/EucuM3EuUJA?t=238<br><br>Loving the short synth part at the very startIt sounds a JP theme. But also sounds like HZ did arrangements of it. The beginning of "shifu's end" kind of sounds like one. The HZ/Jackman cues for the "splits" and "battle for the scroll" which use it are good, fun cues - but they're kind of awkward and stop/start compared to JP's smoother, more confident arrangements. And they notably don't use the whole theme only fragmented bits where as the JP/Smith cues "prison", "the bridge", "shifu's end" make use of the entire theme and sound more comfortable with the frenetic orchestra material. Just my opinion though.<br>Jungleland is getting released in cinemas and on streaming Nov. 6 and 10 respectively. I hope Lorne's score gets a release alongside it, as the film sounds like it has some good scoring potential.Well, the two scores by Jackman are good, neither as good as Edmonson's previous work in the franchise, if Naughty Dog have to choose a composer, Edmonson is my choice.<br><br>As for comparations with Tom's Tomb Raider, remember, this franchise is a more classical adventure than a survival action.If he's one of Jackman's best,I hope naughty dog &#8203;&#8203;will hire him again. I just hope that the film does not present a score as loose as Tom's tomb raider

Matthew Margeson scoring Kick Ass 2 on his own! Surprising news, but who knows?

Hybrid Soldier2013-03-14 19:58:58
Whatever the trailer says, Matthew is co-writing it with Henry Jackman as we speak ! ;)

Jimmer2013-03-14 21:18:14
That's good news. I like Margeson and with what Jackman did with the original score we should be in good shape. One question, though, Hybrid: why was the original soundtrack filled with so man different cues from different films? For instance, the cue by John Murphy from "Sunshine." Was this just used a temp track and then just kept in the final edit? Just curious about that.

Hybrid Soldier2013-03-14 21:26:15
Well they first hired Marius De Vries I think, then Eshkeri arrived. Then Murphy... Finally Jackman... Keeping a bit of each score... Murphy prefered to keep and rework the temp instead of writing something that would be "almost" the same...

Ds2013-03-15 15:57:42
The resulting score was one of the most explosive soundtrack i ever heard! I'm afraid the score for the sequel will be more "usual"...

Mr. Charles2013-03-16 15:46:32
One of the guys on the "s h r eye n e" has a site that's pretty much the history of rejected scores and such. Kick-Ass is a clusterfuck, I remember reading it. But it really is a fantastic score. John Murphy is a brilliant composer, and I love how he re-work his famous "Adagio in D Minor" into the score. Henry Jackman's main theme is also very good. Here's to hoping Margeson's score will fair well against this one

Mikel S.i.W (a fan from Spain)2013-03-16 17:06:12
I love the cues from the first score. I’m waiting for the sequel with hope.
cheers

Hybrid Soldier2013-06-08 08:55:05
Matt is preparing the upcoming OST release for Kick-Ass 2. The score is now completed, the final credit should be music by Matt Margeson & Henry Jackman.

There should be, like for the first, 2 OSTs, one with songs and a score release (maybe not only digital this time). The structure of the score will be similar to the first one, lots of cues (short & long) & songs. Some material from the first film will be reused, like Jackman's main theme... Can't wait ! :D

From ASCAP, perhaps from the complete score?

CAR DRIVES OFF

EMPTY CORRIDOR
FRANK/JOE IN CAR
FRANK'S WAREHOUSE
GIANT COCK

Obviously there is stuff missing. As some of these are on the commercial score, some aren't.

Hybrid Soldier2011-09-24 08:49:26
Could you just stop posting INCOMPLETE Ascap results (looks like you've started toying with that website a month ago...) here ? There is NO point.

//////2011-09-24 14:08:48
Uh...actually there IS a point. Sometimes (not always) when a tracklist in posted, some anonymous poster will come forward and say "I have it" and then things go from there. And yes, I know its INCOMPLETE. If it really bothered you, you could just REMOVE the damn thing like all the mods have removed shit before. You and I both know you can do that. Oh, and what about this "Kelly" person? Everytime something from a certain forum leaks, she posts a tracklist here for it. Don't see you bitching about it there, now do we? Didn't think so. So I don't see the big deal here. If it really bothered you or if you didn't want it here, you could have removed it.

more information:
"Stand Up" contains samples of "One Way Glass" written by Manfred Mann & Peter Thomas
"A Punch in the Chest" is Marius De Vries' arrangement of William Steffe's "Glory Glory Hallelujah"
"Mistmobile" seems to have been deliberately inspired by Danny Elfman's Batman music

Holygreg reply Replies: 0 || 2010-05-31 00:00:00
Murphy has just reversed the last two notes and the first two notes of his 28 WEEKS LATER's theme in this soundtrack... I Find it very useless to hire a composer to ask him to copy/paste one of his best themes. I can understand that some directors like to include former cues from other composers (like Tony Scott and Ridley Scott do...) but in this case, why using so much composers ?

Skyler reply Replies: 0 || 2010-05-28 00:00:00
There are a few more John Murphy cues that were not included on this release (removed to keep a better balance of composers on the CD, according to JM), but other than that this is the complete score.

Found the track info here: musicload.at/various-artists/kick-ass-the-score/musik/album/ 7304130_2

Definitely not the most credible source, but since John Murphy himself said Amazon.uk screwed up half the tracklist I figure that since it's different than what Amazon has up it's probably more accurate. For instance, the "Big Daddy Kills" track is obviously Murphy's (it's a new version of Murphy's "In the House In a Heartbeat" from 20 Days Later.) Amazon credits it entirely to Jackman, which is obviously wrong, but this tracklist credits it to Jackman and Murphy, which is more accurate. I'm still wondering if Jackman did anything for this track or if Musicload just credited him after they saw Amazon do it, but whatever. This is all getting almost as confusing as any other RC production's credits. :P

The following cues were composed by Henry Jackman:

1. The Armenian Superhero (Marius Vries & Henry Jackman)
4. Watching
5. Man In The Mirror
8. Time To Engage
10. I'm Kick Ass
11. Famous (Marius Vries & Henry Jackman & Ilan Eshkeri & John Murphy)
17. Damon & Marcus Comic Book (Henry Jackman & John Murphy)
19. Hunting Kick Ass
20. MistMobile
21. Big Daddy Kills (Henry Jackman & John Murphy)
29. Big Daddy Dies (Henry Jackman & John Murphy)
31. Marshmallows (Henry Jackman & John Murphy)
34. No Power, No Responsibility (Henry Jackman)
37. The Fight (Marius Vries & Henry Jackman & Ilan Eshkeri & John Murphy)
38. Flying Home (Marius Vries & Henry Jackman & Ilan Eshkeri & John Murphy)
39. True Identity

There's another version of the tracklist that doesn't list the additional composers, it credits only Jackman for each track (and credits Vries for Famous, The Fight and Flying Home). This should give a good basic idea of Jackman's work on the album though. I believe it's his best work to date, though he was probably working with the other composers' themes at times.
