Henry Jackman is currently scoring the upcoming sci-fi action horror thriller The Predator. The film is directed by Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys) and stars Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay, Yvonne Strahovski, Alfie Allen and Thomas Jane. The movie is a reboot of the franchise that launched in 1987 and centers on a group of military veterans encountering a Predator ship in a suburban neighborhood. Black also co-wrote the screenplay with Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad). John Davis (I, Robot, The Firm, Waterworld), Joel Silver (The Matrix, Lethal Weapon) & Lawrence Gordon (Die Hard, Field of Dreams) are producing the project. Alan Silvestri composed the music for the original two Predator movies, while John Debney scored 2010’s Predators. The Predator will be released in theaters nationwide on September 14, 2018 by 20th Century Fox.
As previously reported, Jackman (Captain America: The Winter Soldier & Civil War, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, X-Men: First Class, Big Hero 6, Kong: Skull Island) also has Disney’s animated sequel Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 coming up.
Great! But an icone theme being wasted
Great! Another theme icon wasted
Watch an interview with henry jackman, hans zimmer, thomas newman, alan silvestri, and steven price. Henry says it’s his favorite score and alan is one of his idols. I’m very certain he will use the main theme
Yeah … Just like he used the theme of Capitao America in the other two films he made (contains sarcasm)
That wasn’t his choice. That was because Cap was in the modern age and not in the war. The Russo Brothers asked for different themes for each movie
Oh, yeah … He had no choice … So Winter Soldier got a score with several “themes” (many quotes here) from Hans Zimmer’s previous scores, was not that his choice? To make a generic and soulless score, was it not his choice?
This is really disappointing. I wanted Silvestri. Jackman is probably one of my least composer EVER. His scores for the Marvel movies are just souless.
Can’t find any updates about it. But I hope he will use Silvestri’s themes in the movie.
Any update on the release date or tracklist?
Separately, a version of Alan Silvestri’s ‘Predator’ theme is used in the movie at least three times.
