Composer change on the Karate Kid remake

[tharpdevenport]

We get about 30+ changes each year, but I mention this one because of the Trek related composer...


James Horner has replaced a score (by Atli Orvarsson) on the upcoming needless remake of "The Karate Kid".

I'm sure Horner's will be much, much worse as usual.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Cue the four note danger motif (probably in an ethnic woodwind)...

 

[Admiral James Kirk]

What's wrong with Bill Conti?

 

[tharpdevenport]

Hollywood has, sadly, almost completely forgotten about him. :-(

 

[Mike Farley]

The real question is what 70's era song is Will Smith remaking for the end credits?

 

[Admiral James Kirk]

Kung Fu Fighting... Duh!
