Fox confirms Horner on Cameron´s AvatarThe Gorfaine-Schwartz Agency announced
Horner’s involvement in the picture several
weeks ago, but deleted the information on their
web site since no deal was in place yet. Last
week, however, 20th Century Fox confirmed to
Film Music Weekly that Horner is indeed going
to compose the music for the film, which means
that the composer is now set to work with James
Cameron for the third time. Their two previous
projects were Aliens (1986), widely recognized
as a film music classic in the science fiction
genre, and Titanic (1997), which resulted in the best-selling soundtrack album of all time.
Avatar, which is scheduled to premiere
on May 22, 2009, is a sci-fi story about a war
veteran who is brought to the planet Pandora,
where humans find themselves at odds with
each other and the local Na’vis, the humanoid
race that inhabits Pandora. The cast includes
Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney
Weaver and Laz Alonso.
James Horner is also scoring another epic
adventure, The Spiderwick Chronicles, directed
by Mark Waters, for release on February 15,
2008.
