Sun Jan 01, 2006 6:19 pm Post subject: Rejected King Kong Score... |
 
|
Hey guys! I would like to know if any of you have any information on whether or not King Kong's rejected score composed by Howard Shore will be available for sale ? I know sometimes rejected scores can be bought, Jeric has several Rejected scores here. Let me know please! So curious why an Academy Award composer like Howard Shore will be fired or his score rejected.
alright you're comments are awaited |

Mm... I wasn't even aware that Howard Shore had tried for King Kong. Well, given the background between Jackson and Shore, I assume the director was simply looking for a dfferent angle, a more James-Newton-Howard-ish point of view.
What other reason could there be? The partnership worked out so amazingly well in Lord of the Rings...
Anyway, I don't know if it's going to available for sale, but I sure would like to get it!

Hey Adam,
Well the thing is Shore was fired around Fall, which means his score should have been completed. Peter Jackson wasn't hapy with what Shore creaed, or style, not even sure that is why Shore's score was rejected, regardless, James N. Howard was brought in last minute. I do like JNH's score he stylized it a la Steiner, but still would love to hear Shore's version. |

Apparently JNH took just two months to compose a score for a three hour long movie. Can you imagine the pressure from such a deadline?
(I guess during the really noisy fighting scenes, you could just wing it.)

hmmm good point bentoons... it does seem a bit Steiner, which might well have been why Shore's score wasn't accepted, since at its base, Jackson's Kong is a an homage after all. |

How would one find out if a score is available for sale? I would love this score. I think while it didnt pay homage to the older movie should be stunning.. I may have actually enjoyed it more

I haven't heard anything about plans to make this score available, and my bet is that we'll wait a long time to see it... if we ever see it, that is.
That said, I'd love to hear what Shore did with Kong. |

Your only choice, to be vaguely put, is to search thru the Forums of all the major ST websites, just like everyone else. Thru there, you'll find questions, rumors, and other such batter pertaining to Shore's rejected score. Probability speaking, seventy percent of those rumors are false. But it will keep your mind occupied till the real deal does come up....if at all.
Personaly speaking, I don't believe that Shore's score for KK will be released in the near future. But I've been wrong in the past.

If you are interested... http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1126891566
King Kong ran production diaries throughout the filming process.. besides being interesting, there are videos of Howard Shore composing the score and snippets from it. |

In fact, the answer to that question is yes, sometimes.
One example that I can think of is Alex North's rejected score from 2001: A Space Odyssey. He later used the rejected space station docking theme for Dragonslayer (1981). |

Highly unlikely.
Howard wants to, but that is not his choice, it's the studio's (the copyright owners) and to put it simply, the studio has a good reason not to release it and that is, King Kong already has a score and it received an album release.
Now to point No. 2 - Howard was NOT fired, he departed after he agreed he and Jackson were not seeing eye to eye on the overall tone of the resulting score. It was an agreement choice from both sides and that didn't end in any bad terms as people who like to speculate would like you to believe.
Howard's score is really nice, but on a personal note, I think JNH's effort did a better work on portraying the feel Jackson wanted.
And about Howard reworking it to put it in some other film... I'm not so sure, he doesn't tend to do that.
Didn't I post this before a few weeks back?
