According to the Film Music Reporter, a recent, but outdated, interview with the the two-time Academy Award-winning composer, orchestrator and conductor behind Titanic, James Horner, reveals hes in-talks for Marc Webb's much-awaited film, The Amazing Spider-Man.

Music editor Jim Henrikson has revealed in a recent interview with SCOREcast Online that James Horner is in talks to score the upcoming comic book adaptation reboot of The Amazing Spider-Man. While the assignment has not been confirmed to us yet, Henrikson who has been Horner’s primary music editor over the last two decades said that the assignment “is pretty well set” at the time of the interview [May].

Other scores Horner has worked on include Braveheart, Casper, Troy, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, The Rocketeer, A Beautiful Mind, Mighty Joe Young, The Perfect Storm, Avatar, Apollo 13, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Legends of the Fall, Aliens, and most recent, The Karate Kid. And to get familiarized with Spidey's return 2012, re-watch the trailer for the umpteenth time!



The Amazing Spider-Man focuses more on Peter Parker's high school days and the development of his powers while navigating the troubles of a brainy geek in high school. And starring Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker), Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Denis Leary (George Stacy), Rhys Ifans (Curt Conners), Martin Sheen (Ben Parker), and Sally Field (May Parker), the film hits July 3, 2012 in 3D!

Good choice. The Titanic score was amazing, hopefully he'll be just as good when/if he composes TASM.

@ TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY

i think its got a chance of out grossing the avengers & the dark knight rises.

1.shot in 3d look at transformers 3

2.spider-man is probably the most well known & popular character in the world.

3.kids love spider-man

4.spider-man 3 took $890,000,000 & is considered the worse of the movies.

5.the lizard a classic spidey foe that we've never seen before on the big screen.

I put James Horner right up there with John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and James Newton Howard. Great choice for the film.

@grif... so did a horse eat dog shit, then re-shit it out, or did said horse have a bowel transplant and the donor happened to be a dog? See, you can't insult things without elaborating, because it just raises more questions like that.

Wonderful. That means we can have Peter Parker dealing with all that teen angst and Celine Dion singing in the background. :-P Kidding...relax...take a deep breath...

@marvel72

doubt it will out gross The Avengers and TDKR.

1. people having enough of 3D movies

2. Spider-Man is popular character but alot of people are still p!ssed that Tobey Maguire aint Spier-Man.

3. kids also love Batman and The Avengers

@ jazzman

transformers 3 was the first film i've seen in 3d,afterwards i was like i can't wait to see the amazing spider-man in 3d.

granted kids love spider-man & batman equally,but batman is more darker & violent so that might put parents off taking kids to that.

things might change when the younglings see the trailer for the avengers,but i don't think the general public know at the moment what the previous films are building to.

we'll have ta wait & see what happens in 2012.

even though the movie was pretty rubbish the soundtrack for troy was amazing. I really couldn't be happier with the choice (well, maybe if sony had managed to get williams).

Cool, I look forward to his work. I have many of his soundtracks in my collection. Love his stuff.

If you want to win me over, have them play Grim Skunk's version of 'Spiderman'! You can't go wrong with it!
