It's a matter of record that Goldsmith didn't especially like the film, and often introduced his concert track from it as music "from a dumb/cr@ppy movie" or variations on that theme. It may not have been down to the actual end movie that he felt this way, but how he was treated while composing for it. From what I can gather Goldsmith spent a lot of time in a hotel room alone waiting for answers to questions he had, while Sommers was spending his time on calls to ILM trying to sort the VFX, which were delaying the production as they were digging new ground and causing frustration. Sommers chose to priortise that aspect with his attention, and Goldsmith felt ignored. Sommers was undeniably a fan of Goldsmith, having fought to get him on 1994's The Jungle Book, without success, but eventually getting him on Deep Rising. That film Jerry liked as an old-fashioned jump-scare movie with an interesting crime/action twist. I suspect he took on The Mummy because he enjoyed working on that one, but The Mummy placed more pressure on Sommers than he could cope with and he became uncommunicative. The Mummy Returns was I believe commissioned on the very day after The Mummy was released and made a fortune on its opening, and Goldsmith probably saw that the law of diminishing returns would apply - the film would be made quicker to meet the demand, and be a worse and dumber film. So it was. |
