Just seen the post re: product placement, and noticed that imdb is reporting Carter Burwell as the scorer for Serenity rather than Greg Edmondse.

I liked the Firefly score a lot, but if for whatever reason they have changed for the movie, Burwell is a good choice - has done the Coen brothers, many of Spike Jonze things and has an ability to do something new but not generic.

(plus there is a Firefly connection as he scored A Knight's Tale) - and shock horror! Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the movie.

If its right, and I'm googling as I type - its a small world...

Interesting....

I think moving away from the fanfare style horns and cellos scores that plague most blockbuster films is a wise decision.

Scores tend to be so intrusive these days. Lets hope the partnership of Joss and Carter works.

Apparently this was confirmed at DragonCon.

I liked his score to The General's Daughter which was an off-kilter action film.

I think hes been confirmed, its a shame it wont be Greg as Im sure we all loved the music on firefly but this guy certainly has some credentials.

Of the people that could replace Greg Edmonson on the film, I am glad it is Carter Burwell. While I would love for Edmonson to come back on board, I have enjoyed Burwell's music in the past, mainly via his Coen Brothers scores.

I wonder what the motives were?

Maybe Greg was unavailable and working on other projects....

I guess Carter and Joss have a past of working together so it makes sense...

I'd love to be a fly on the wall while they work and discuss the score for Serenity. That'd be a nifty DVD extra :)

I was hoping they'd keep Greg Edmondson, but then I thought of "Fargo" and "Rob Roy," two of my favorite scores.

Burwell is good and versatile.
