Scott sticks with Streitenfeld on ‘Robin Hood’

streitenfeldUniversal Pictures has confirmed to MovieScore Magazine that Ridley Scott will continue his collaboration with composer Marc Streitenfeld on his upcoming film version of the classic Robin Hood tale. Streitenfeld, who came to Scott via fellow German countryman Hans Zimmer working on Gladiator, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down and Matchstick Men, has written the scores for his three latest features, A Good Year, American Gangster and Body of Lies. His music for these American Gangster resulted in a ‘Discovery of the Year’ award at the World Soundtrack Awards last year. Robin Hood, which stars Russell Crowe as the righteous hero and Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian, is scheduled to premiere in May next year.

    This is disappointing news–I was really hoping that Zimmer would come on board for this, or even someone like Vangelis. Streitenfeld did a competent job mounting tension and suspense in “Body of Lies”, but his score for “American Gangster” was generic, unmemorable and flat. Why doesn’t Scott work with Zimmer anymore? A hallmark of a great Ridley Scott movie is his use of music…Streitenfeld better hit it out of the park this time around!

    I’m afraid he didn’t leave much of an impression with me in the films he’s scored for Scott. It was the choice of songs specific to the time and place of American Gangster and A Good Year that was memorable, not his original score.

    Zimmer did such a fantastic job on Gladiator. I play that recording often, and note it’s been used in other films, TV, ads, etc.

    I really do agree with Mimi : “A good year” and “American Gangsters” soundtracks were most remarkable due to genuine tunes of relevant time periods.
    As far as”Gladiator” is concerned, the soundtrack was so in keeping with the general atmosphere of the film, it’s a treat and generates goose bumps whenever you listen to it ! Zimmer’s art is perfect, a pity he won’t be in charge of “Robin Hood” soundtrack !

    I as well was hoping for a new collaboration between Hans Zimmer and Ridley Scott. The previously mentioned score for Gladiator is one of my favourites. It’s a shame Hans won’t be working on Robin Hood, I’m sure the medieval setting would have proved some great music.

    Streitenfeld never impressed me so far. I was a bit suprised that he was voted Discovery of the year anyway. Perhaps Marc’s score for this movie will be rejected in the end? Scott is known for being rather unfriendly towards his composers (Ask Harry Gregson-Williams – who would do a fine job on this one as well on a side note. Loved his score for Kingdom of Heaven).

    I am SO disappointed that Hans Zimmer will not be doing the musical score for Robin Hood. Gladiator was my all-time favorite movie – acting, costumes, script, directing … everything. And the musical score was also my all-time favorite. – Pam

    Looks like this “Robin Hood” movie would be a great movie to watch just like the movie about King Arthur.;”.

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
