Right now, Michael Giacchino is a force to be reckoned with as far as film scores are concerned. Last year was a really big year for him; he wrote two of the most enthralling scores – STAR TREK and Pixar’s UP. His work on the latter ended up winning him the Academy Award for Best Original Score. Needless to say, producers want him to score their films, and we just found out what one of his next projects will be.
JOHN CARTER OF MARS, a film which puts Civil War veteran John Carter up against a league of green Martians, will have the work of Michael Giacchino behind it. Since he has experience working on a similar film (STAR TREK) and exceeded expectations wildly, there is no contention that his score will do anything other than heighten the experience.
JOHN CARTER OF MARS is being directed by Andrew Stanton, who previously helmed Pixar classics WALL-E and FINDING NEMO. This will be his first foray into a live-action feature. Did I mention the film has Willem Dafoe? Yeah, I know, I was already sold on it, too.
