Dario Marianelli to Score ‘Transformers’ Spinoff ‘Bumblebee’ | Film Music Reporter Edit: I actually haven't heard of most of the movies he's scored. The only one I've seen is Paddington 2, which is a very good movie. Funny, I actually watched that movie less than two weeks ago. If I had known the same guy would be doing Bumblebee's soundtrack, I would have payed extra close attention to the score. Overall I'm really glad to have a new composer onboard, lets hope he can bring a great 80's vibe to the movie!
Michael Bay brought in the composer he usually work with (Steve Jablonsky) and Travis Knight brought with him the composer he worked with (Dario Marianelli). We should have seen this coming. Welcome to the family, Mr. Marianelli. BTW, his score on Kubo And The Two Strings is just divine. An amazing piece of work. I'm sure that we will not be disappointed.
It's entirely possible that they could do something like that, they brought in John Williams to create a theme for the Han Solo movie, even though they have a different composer doing the rest of the score. That much being said, I'm kind of glad they got someone besides Vince DiCola to do the score. I love DiCola's work, but I think it's good to bring in fresh people to the brand.
probably the wrong choices to get me excited. I don\'t like either of those songs. So I will have to research a bit more to see if I like him or not. As of right now, it\'s a step down in composers for me.
Update 05/10/2018: The Official Laika Twitter Page for Kubo And The Two Strings, confirmed the authenticity of the news. "The #KuboMovie Director/Composer team is reunited for #Bumblebee! "
Yeah, I really hope Paramount let Travis Knight make the movie he wanted. From everything we've seen so far, it's looks like he had a lot of creative control. I'm a believer that some studio input isn't bad here and there, but overall I want to see Knight's vision.
Gonna miss Steve Jablonsky but his score for Kubo is amazing. Seeing him return with Travis Knight is awesome.
