SoundCast Vault - "Who Should Direct the Next Star Wars Films?"



Edited out of episode 51 of the SoundCast was our discussion of who we thought might direct the next Star Wars film or films.   JJ Abrams, Christopher Nolan, Joe Johnston, Matthew Vaughn?  Just what would Star Wars look like with them at the helm?

Youtube is the new home of our SoundCast vault episodes where you will be able to hear some of our podcast discussions that didn't make the final episode edit.  You'll also hear some classic interviews with composers which were never published as audio interviews.

Joe Johnston to direct Captain America. Who should score it?


Joe Johnston to direct Captain America.  Who should score it?

One of the next big Superhero film franchises is fast approaching. And I'm not talking about Wonder Woman starring Beyonce either. The feature film version of our beloved CAPTAIN AMERICA is reportedly being directed by Joe Johnston. With films like THE ROCKETEER under his belt...I can see this as a potentially good fit. I also love OCTOBER SKY, so if he can bring that sort of humanity to the project, this could be really interesting. My biggest concern (yes even bigger than WHO plays Cap) is how do you get that costume to work on screen? OK...they got Spidey's costume to work (I guess) on screen, but just not sure how they are going to pull this off. I sure don't want to see a fully CG Capt. running around during the action scenes. He's not encased in iron, nor does he turn into a green behemoth, so please keep him real and NOT go the way of Spidey in that regard. As tough as this costuming issue might be, I'd rather have to figure out this for Capt. America, than Thor. Good luck on that one, Brannagh.

Now with Joe Johnston at the helm, who do you think he'll get to score the movie? Some of his past collaborators have been James Horner, James Newton Howard, and Don Davis. By far, he's worked with Horner the most. Do you think this would be a good match? If not, then who?
