If the music of Narnia has captured your attention, and you enjoy symphonic music, or have become a fan of Harry Gregson-Williams, you’ll want to check out the score for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Harry Gregson-Williams was the composer for both The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. He won’t be working on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, though, as that is going to be composed by David Arnold.
X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, the first chapter in the X-MEN saga, unites Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) with several other legends of the X-MEN universe, in an epic revolution that pits the mutants against powerful forces determined to eliminate them.
The X-MEN series has already generated more than $600 million at the U.S. box office — and each film has been more successful than the last. X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE is destined to be one of the big blockbusters of the summer movie season.
The X-MEN ORIGINS saga kicks off with an epic symphonic score by Harry Gregson-Williams (The Chronicles of Narnia, Kingdom of Heaven, Man on Fire).
20th Century Fox opens X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE nationwide on May 1.

I wish that Haryy Gregson-Williams was going to compose for VDT. He did an amazing job with LWW and PC. Does anybody know why he isn’t going to compose VDT? I don’t think I like this new guy (David Arnold)very much either. I read an interview of him and I did not like his attitude about VDT. This is what he had to say:
” The one thing I love about those things is that there are no rules. Nothing is actually real, you don’t actually have to worry about having a responsibility to truthfulness in a real sense; it’s just about how to make the film’s feeling and heighten the film’s effectiveness. You’re not telling a true story. It’s not like Amazing Grace which was a film about something that really happened, a film that has actually affected real people… A giant talking lion (in Narnia) is not the same sense of responsibility.”
It seems to me that he is just writing VDT off as some little kid’s fantasy story that he doesn’t have to take seriously, as if it isn’t important. I hope he realizes how amazing the music of Narnia has been thus far. It has really enhanced the movies for me. I just hope he doesn’t end up being a huge dissapointment to all of us.
OMG… I agree. He sounds like he doesn’t understand Narnia.
If he wants examples of ‘real people’ that have been affected by Narnia, he can come and talk to me!
I love what Harry Gregson-Williams has done.
Aw. I wish Harry Gregson-WIlliams was doin VDT too. It would make me soo happy. But they better pick someone GOOD! Or I will tell all my Narnia obsessed friends not to see it!!!! Jk, We’ll still go…no matter how bad it is. And prolly see it more than six times…just in theaters.
I love Harry Gregson-Williams! He makes very good work. My love OST from him is Spy Game and the 3 Metal Gear Solid OST’s from him (2-4).
