FilmScoreMonthy is reporting that composer Alexandre Desplat has been tapped to score the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" film. Describing the 48 year old composer an "overnight sensation that took decades to occur," the feature on the 2009 Top Forty Composer Countdown list includes the first part of the final Potter film as one of this upcoming projects. The profile notes:
He has become the director-of-choice for many of the world's most acclaimed directors, including Fincher, Stephen Frears, Terence Malick and Roman Polanski, and has signed for one his most challenging and highest-profile assignments yet, the penultimate entry in the Harry Potter saga.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Ghostwriter, Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows Part 1, A Prophet, The Special Relationship, Tamara Drewe, The Tree of Life
As noted on Mr. Desplat's official website, his previous work includes "Julie and Julia," "New Moon," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," and "The Golden Compass" and "Lust, Caution" (Se Jie).
He’s a very accomplished composer.
Two Oscar nominations in the past three years is exciting.
Personally, I’d still like to see Williams return just for fun, but I know Desplat will be great if this is true.
On a side note, I think whomever composes Part 1 will obviously compose Part 2.
It wouldn’t make sense if you had two, unless WB really wants each part to feel like a completely separate film instead of one film in two parts.
