Michael Giacchino has officially left the Jurassic World franchise and Alexandre Desplat has stepped in to take over! The high profile composer has created a completely new score for Jurassic World Rebirth, with a heavy dose of homage paid to John Williams' original, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Desplat found himself balancing "how and where" he could "inject some of [Williams'] theme as a reminder" in the new story, using a "mainly orchestral" score with help from a 105-piece orchestra and a 60-piece choir. "You try to make it your own, and at the same time, pay homage to Williams' music, and try to find your own way through that by inventing new themes and ideas, but staying in the same artistic zone as the scores of the franchise."
Apparently, Desplat's Rebirth score gave director Gareth Edwards chills when he heard it for the first time.
Here's a preview of Desplat composing for Jurassic World Rebirth:
