Composer Rob Simonsen - Blake's Last Minute Ask for Him to Compose (estimated time frame) (may 1, 2024 – may 31, 2024)
Description:
Video Description: "In Score’s season 5 finale, composer Rob Simonsen talks about having the #1 and #2 films in the world on the same weekend (DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE; IT ENDS WITH US), and how one film led to the other being done inside of one month — the biggest time crunch he’s ever had. Plus, what is was like working with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, poking fun at Marvel in the sound booth with Kevin Feige during recordings, and what’s next with his scoring a major upcoming Pixar release. Interview by Kenny Holmes and Robert Kraft."
Baldoni's Complaint: (See page 81)
"143. Ultimately, Lively replaced the Film’s editors with her own choice: an editor often used by Reynolds, and the Film’s editors had to be let go. She also replaced the Film’s award winning composer with composers from Reynolds’ recent project – even though the Film’s composer had already finished the score, with an orchestra (which is costly). Sony supported Lively’s demands and even enforced her dictate that the Film’s director and editors not be permitted even to view “her cut.” "
Composers Replaced According to IMDb: Nathan Alexander and Brian Tyler were replaced by Duncan Blickenstaff and Rob Simonsen.
One Redditor claims that they worked on the crew and that Taylor Swift demanded that the original composers get replaced.
"Blake uses a T Swift song in the movie that the studio loves having in there
T swift finds out that the original composer for the movie is someone she worked with in the past that was mean to her, and she says it's either me or him
Sony fires that composer to keep the t swift song"
Brian Tyler did work on Cats as a composer so he may have interacted with Taylor Swift during that movie production.
