Some extra of the brand new Superman theme was performed at a latest occasion and you recognize what, you simply can’t do higher than Williams theme. I imply that each good and unhealthy for the brand new movie, however I’ll get there.
First off, take a look at the footage of the theme being performed on the Manila pink carpet.

I do like this theme higher than the one we had for Man of Metal, and I did truly like that, to my shock. The reality is although, you simply can’t, in my thoughts, enhance upon the unique by legend John Williams.
Sure, its there within the new theme and that’s what I really like about it. Nevertheless, on the similar time, each time I hear the brand new theme, it leaves me wanting, Particularly it depart me wanting it to transition into the traditional Williams them with the sooner tempo. Bobbeda bob… bobe, bobede bobede bob……. I do know, I’m like Mozart reborn.
So yeah, I really like that they’ve introduced Williams theme again, it simply IS Superman’s theme and it transcends being dated. Nevertheless, I kinda hope that within the film they actually let go a bit of and it’s not all the time simply this slower electrical guitar model.

Right here’s what Gunn needed to say about them theme when it was first revealed manner again.
“I knew from the start what I needed to do with the music. I considered it rather a lot, ‘Are we going to do one thing fully completely different? Are we going to make use of the [John] Williams’ theme?’ That soundtrack is one in every of my favourite soundtracks of all time, and once I was a child, actually… the factor I liked essentially the most in regards to the film was the music. That was the factor I took dwelling with me greater than anything.”
“However I knew we have been doing one thing that was harkening again to the previous but in addition trying ahead to the long run, and so it was about discovering that stability. John Murphy is a composer who I really like working with, and he began engaged on the music earlier than the script was even completed… I stated, ‘I wish to use a model of the Williams’ theme, however I wish to do our personal model of it.’ So, that’s what you hear.”
I hear you James and I’m a fan. Nevertheless, not as a lot of a fan as I’m the OG, the one you fell in love with your self. The truth is, I’ll go farther. It’s in all probability the very best theme tune for a personality in all of the historical past of movie and TV. As a Star Wars fan (OT) that’s heady reward, as a result of Empire is my favorite soundtrack of all time.
What do you consider the new Superman theme? Do you agree with me, you simply can’t do higher than Williams theme? Thought beneath.
