In an announcement for the composer of Bond 22, the James Bond fan site MI6 has revealed that film composer David Arnold will be composing the score for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader:
David will also be scoring the third Narnia film, “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” for Disney/Walden and directed by Michael Apted, with whom David has scored three films (“The World is Not Enough“, “Enough” and “Amazing Grace“)
It is pretty typical for a composer and director to team up on movies as they have already established their relationship. They tend to work together quickly and efficiently as they’ve got a short-hand in which they can communicate more effectively than a new composer coming in. This is the type of relationship held by Steven Spielberg and John Williams, M. Night Shyamalan and James Newton Howard, and Andrew Adamson and Harry Gregson-Williams.
