came to shout-out one of the best villain themes ever made. and realized i have been saying it for many years now 😅 😅
Geoff has done several other Disney projects besides Pirates 5. (All Pirates movies since the first, Lone Ranger, Christopher Robin, Odd Life of Timothy Green). And I have to say that I would rather JNH return for the sequel, as that would allow him to expand on his fantastic score for the first film.
Oh man, that's a tough question…I haven't listened to Curse of the Black Pearl in a while…. He's credited on almost every track for themes used… "Fog Bound" is the big Klaus Badelt cue from that movie (the real, 5-minute one in the movie is pretty much all Klaus I believe).
But Hans appears almost everywhere in POTC 1. Sometimes it's arrangements of his themes by the other guys, sometimes it's parts of the tunes that he wrote put directly in like he wrote them… The following scenes are pretty much directly Hans, if I remember right (this is the list I'm referencing — but as you can see, Zimmer's name is almost everywhere hans-zimmer . com/index.php?rub=disco&id=1128):
3. Captain Jack Sparrow (Hans wrote the big theme here, as well as the Jack Sparrow stuff at the end)
8. Breaking the Chains (more Jack Sparrow theme…)
17. Boarding the Dauntless (Jack Sparrow theme…)
24. Moonlight Serenade (Zimmer said he wrote this scene like Cinderella walking into a Metallica concert)
Aaaaand a lot of the final fighting music is lifted directly out of the suite Zimmer wrote, so it's 90% him. But once again, his themes as arranged by other people appear everywhere. Hybrid can answer way more about all this than I can.
Came across this trailer for a animated film from 2008 called Delgo, and if you go to 1:37 in the video you'll hear a very familiar theme from DMTNT. That theme can be heard in "Kill the Filthy Pirate, I'll Wait" at 1:54. And it turns out Geoff did the score for Delgo too!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUpqZNlKzjs
Now THAT is one but kickin' cover. And Furthermore, Geoff has done a great job filling in for Hans in composing the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean picture.
Yeah it's not nearly as bad as On Stranger Tides, but you can definitely smell the temp at times. I especially hate that part of "Treasure". But at least it feels like a narrative and there are times when old material gets used in fresh ways, which is nice. Zanelli did an okay job here but if they ever do a Pirates 6 I would hope that whoever scores it can do so in a way that's not quite as cautious and beholden to the past as these last two scores have been. I don't mean dumping the themes and style entirely, of course not, but a bit more variety would go a long way.
Side note, a bit surprised how few solo Zanelli cues there are, but perhaps I shouldn't be – this is Pirates, after all…
I agree I’m just slowly waiting it’s not long until some guy with the movie and a computer releases a non SFX complete score. Just release the damn score Zaneli and RCP.
Zanelli did most of the work for the other sequels so he let him take the lead this time. Still sounds like a corporate soundboard to me.
Well, Hans was working on Dunkirk and preparing his tour then. Or maybe he just red the script of P5 :P
It's the bank heist. When Jack is pulled back by rope and lands on his chest.
