Abrams making his directorial debut, and as such bringing across his composer from "Alias" and "Lost," Michael Giacchino. Zimmer's score often feels like it suffers from close proximity to its Roman brother, but it kicks into life during the breathtakingly ridiculous final act, guitars crunching and wailing but still Schifrin-ing to the bitter end.Ģ006's " Mission: Impossible III" saw J.J.
Here, the tone was set by the trailer and the ancillary marketing, with a long-haired Ethan Hunt jumping around to a heavy metal rendition of the Schifrin theme, with singles from the soundtrack coming from Limp Bizkit and metal legends Metallica. With De Palma's cracking thriller making over $450 million in American theaters, the inevitable sequel " Mission: Impossible II" was helmed by John Woo and scored by Hans Zimmer, who brought along his " Gladiator" collaborator Lisa Gerrard. Perhaps you'd expect Elfman's to be a little jauntier but it's absolutely thrilling, full of intrigue and a dynamic use of brass, especially in the finale cue with Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt riding a helicopter through the channel tunnel.
For the '96 picture, De Palma and Elfman started a tradition for the series' title sequences that has seen them become more and more elaborate, although ironically that powerful montage was a definite homage to the quick-cut titles of the TV series, its rhythm once again dictated by Schifrin's machine gun riff, a faster-paced successor to Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" theme from 1958.
For Brian De Palma's 1996 big screen version, U2 pair Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen put together an electronic version that was released as a single to promote the film, but it was Danny Elfman's dynamite main title that really energised the franchise on celluloid (although you can hear original composer Alan Silvestri's interpretation on the original teaser). Lalo Schifrin's super-effective theme-composed in off-kilter 5/4 time-has become an integral part of the "Mission: Impossible" brand to the point where even the trailers have a celebratory appearance.
