As we slowly approach the release of the sequels, I want to discuss my concern over the quality of the music in the upcoming films. The music in the first film was absolutely incredible, and, truthfully, there is no other score that brings me to a more base level of peace and restitution than that of Avatar's. James Horner's composition is truly indescribable, and it undeniably played an incredibly crucial role in enveloping audiences as much as the movie did and still does.
With Horner's heartbreaking death in 2015, the upcoming films were left composer-less. Knowing this causes a massive amount of anxiety in me, as I am a firm believer in the importance and impact of a score, and know how strongly Horner's score impacts the film. James Cameron himself said he has no idea who will score the movies, per my memory after Horner's passing. So, I've come here to ask if anyone has received any updates or rumors on potential composers. Secondly, I am here to suggest Harry-Gregson Williams should take the helm if one has not been selected. I have long had an idea to put some of his music from the first Narnia film over select scenes from Avatar, as I believe they would fit incredibly well. Additionally, Williams simply seems to be able to conjure music which conveys similar feelings of awe, wonder, and other feelings of indescribable peace I feel when listening to Horner's score. I would love to begin working on this, but I first would need to remove Horner's score from these scenes, which is something I have absolutely no idea how to do. So, is anyone able to help out with this?

Asking for a friend.
The cast, made up of high-profile action stars, were choosing their roles.
Sylvester Stallone went "I want to be Mozart!". Bruce Willis said "Then I'll be Beethoven!" and Jean -Claude Van Damme, "I'll go with Tchaikovsky".
After a moment of silence, Arnold Schwarzenegger stood up, looked at everyone in the room, and said "I'll be Bach".
My personal choices are:
Junkie XL for Justice League. After BvS I see Junkie XL as the spiritual successor to Zimmer. And along the blueprints to all of the the JL's themes I think he can bring it together in a compelling way.
Ramin Djawadi for The Flash. He works well with an up beat action tempo; which would fit well with the Flash's speed.
Joseph Bishara (because of his work on horror films along side James Wan) for Aquaman. Another more mainstream composer can be brought in to write the more heroic themes for the the superhero genre.
Michael Giacchino for Shazam! His work on Lost and the Star Trek is wonderful and iconic, so I would be interested to see an upbeat childlike wonder brought to Shazam.
Junkie XL again for Justice League 2
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for Cyborg. The hollow, brutal, machine-like quality to their collaborations with David Fincher make me excited for their take on a Cyborg movie.
For the life of me I can't think of suitable composers for Wonder Woman or Green Lantern Corps. I know this will never come true, but I would be overjoyed if the solo Batman film was scored by both Danny Elfman AND Hans Zimmer.
I haven't heard any confirmation on castings only rumors so for now curious to hear your thoughts
Last Night in Soho is a psychological thriller, only in theaters tomorrow! The film stars Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy and Matt Smith. It delves into the world of 60s Soho with a dark and mysterious twist. Some of my other films include Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Shaun of the Dead.
I'm so glad this movie is finally coming to theaters after a long delay and I am excited to answer your questions!
Note: I'm drinking tons of coffee right now so answers may come out slightly over-caffeinated!

I am sure yinz will be absolutely shocked. SHOCKED. Here is the tagline:
INHOSPITABLE is a documentary feature film that exposes American hospitals’ significant role in our broken healthcare system by documenting patients and activists as they band together to fight UPMC, a multi-billion dollar nonprofit hospital system that was making vital care unaffordable for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable patients in western Pennsylvania.
Who would you guys like to see cast as Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin in the upcoming movie, if we're going with younger actors? I actually think Chris Hemsworth could play a good Jack Aubrey. He has the physicality and the looks, and the charisma and humor. He'd need to work a bit on his serious commanding side though. Maybe Nicholas Hault as Maturin? Michael Fassbender would be perfect, but I am not sure the age they're going for.
In a perfect world, I’d actually love to see a movie from one of the later books in the series with Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany reprising their roles. Crowe’s weight gain and both their aging actually perfectly reflects that of the characters’ in the books. Unfortunately, the upcoming movie is said to be a prequel.
What book do you think would be best to adapt? I personally hope they choose novel 3 or 4: HMS Surprise or The Mauritius Command. Both would make excellent films, although rumor is it'll be the first book.
So every time I watch this movie, I appreciate it more and more. I am currently on book 16 of 21 in the Patrick O’Brian Aubrey/Maturin books, and here’s why the movie casting was perfect:
-Russell Crow perfectly encapsulates Aubrey’s love of the Navy as second only for his love of Stephen.
-Crowe’s depiction Aubrey’s sheer love for sailing. Standing in the rain, climbing to the topmasts, his jovial demeanor shines through at even the harshest time.
-The dinners for his crew and his absolute love for a good joke. “The lesser of two weevils” line shines through. In the books, Aubrey often refers to himself as not the brightest fellow, but when he can summon a good joke, he savors it and loves it more than any man, often laughing at his own puns until red in the face.
-His deep love for firing the great guns, and devotion to marksmanship. In the books gunpowder is quite expensive, and the allotment for practice is only like 6 broadsides every 6 months. Most captains viewed it as a waste of time, claiming it’s hard to miss in a real action. Aubrey vehemently disagrees, so his crews are some of the greatest marksmen in the fleet, which is why they’re able to take out the Acheron’s main mast so effectively. Captains of means would buy private stores of gunpowder with their own money in order to effectively practice the crews. Aubrey also viewed the practice as a great way of bringing the crew together, through healthy competition and bonding.
-Paul Bettany as Maturin: His love for naturalism, a
