Composer Tom Holkenborg Launches Season 4 of Studio Time And Listen To ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, GODZILLA VS. KONG Tracks

Composer and educator Tom Holkenborg returns this Spring for another season of his free online educational series, Studio Time. Studio Time gives viewers unparalleled access to one of Hollywood’s most unique composers and a peak into Tom’s work on some of this year’s most anticipated movies including ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, GODZILLA VS. KONG, and Army of the Dead.

To enhance through music the new worlds director Adam Wingard envisioned and then, with his incredible team of artist, realized, the director turned to Tom Holkenborg for the score to GODZILLA VS. KONG.

The composer revealed, “I’m a huge fan of Godzilla and Kong, I’ve watched over 35 Godzilla movies over the years, so geeking out with Adam over this film came naturally. Kong is such an iconic character with over 90 years of scoring history behind him, and this was a perfect project for me to flex the retro monster orchestral scoring side of my brain mixed with my very contemporary electronic side, in this case `80s sequences and baselines in the vein of John Carpenter.

“In this score,” he continues, “I was trying to emphasize the insanity of Godzilla and the humanity of Kong. In the spirit of the film, it was fun to get my mad scientist coat on and make some monstrous sounds out of a custom five-foot bass drum and 13- foot-tall guitar amp!”

“What we worked to show thematically via the film’s visuals—technology versus the natural world, the exploration of the future or the past, the bond humanity does (or doesn’t) feel with nature—Tom was able to evoke through his incredible score,” Wingard states. “Since we’re both such big fans of these Titans, I was really excited to partner with him to pay homage to their cinematic history and also hear his entirely new and unique musical interpretations specific to the story we’re telling today.”

Every season of Studio Time is produced by Tom and free to watch on his YouTube channel (161k subscribers, 13M views). Studio Time Season 4 will be full of in-depth tutorials and practical demonstrations, touching on topics that include maximizing value from a budget studio setup, hardware x DAW connectivity, Tom’s favorite synth plug-ins and insert effects, as well as Sound Design classes. Tom will also answer viewer submitted questions and tutorial requests, tour you around his new streamlined studio set-up and provide detailed breakdowns on the key themes of ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE and GODZILLA VS. KONG.

With a colossal 4+ hours of brand new music, Justice League stands as the Mount Everest of Tom’s compositional career, combining his full spectrum of experience in rock, electronic, world and classical music in one score.

GODZILLA VS. KONG Coming To Theaters in 2020; KONG: SKULL ISLAND Confirmed For 2017, GODZILLA 2 For 2018

godzillacb111

Following Legendary’s and Warner Bros. Pictures’ 2014 success with the global reinvention of the Godzilla franchise, the companies have come together to create an epic, new shared cinematic franchise.

All-powerful monsters become towering heroes for a new generation, revealing a mythology that brings together Godzilla and Legendary’s King Kong in an ecosystem of other giant super-species, both classic and new.

Monarch, the human organization that uncovered Godzilla in the 2014 film, will expand their mission across multiple releases.

The announcement that the reinvention of monsters continues was made today by Legendary CEO, Thomas Tull, and Kevin Tsujihara, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. The initial trio of films are 2017’s KONG: SKULL ISLAND; GODZILLA 2 in 2018; and then GODZILLA VS. KONG, arriving in theaters in 2020.

While Legendary maintains its new home at Universal Pictures, the GODZILLA films remain in partnership with Warner Bros., who will now also distribute KONG as a part of this franchise.

Production on KONG: SKULL ISLAND begins October 19.

Warner Bros. and Legendary released Godzilla in May 2014 with an agreement to release Godzilla 2 on June 8, 2018.

Both films feature the human Monarch organization. Shortly following Legendary’s pact with NBC Universal, Legendary acquired rights to additional classic characters from Toho’s Godzilla universe, including Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. This paved the way for developing a franchise centered around Monarch and anchored by Godzilla, King Kong, and other famous creatures.

When Legendary announced films centered on Godzilla and Kong, fans all over the world speculated these two characters might one day meet in the same film. Classic Toho monsters including King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan, as announced at Comic-Con 2014, may also join the Legendary pantheon of giant monster mayhem going forward.

“Audiences really responded to Godzilla,” stated Tull. “Today, I’m excited to reveal that film was only the beginning of an epic new entertainment universe. As a lifelong fan of these characters, I’ve always wanted to see the ultimate showdown, and today we’re pleased to be announcing that and more.”

“Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with `Godzilla,’” said Tsujihara. “It’s great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn’t get any bigger than this.”

KONG: SKULL ISLAND stars Tom Hiddleston, Sam Jackson, Brie Larson, John Goodman, Tian Jing, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Shea Whigham, and Toby Kebbell.

Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce with Mary Parent. Alex Garcia and Eric McLeod will executive produce.

Warner Bros. will distribute the film in 3D and IMAX 3D on March 10, 2017.

GODZILLA 2 will be written by Max Borenstein and directed by Gareth Edwards. Legendary is producing with Mary Parent, and Alex Garcia will executive produce. The film is set to be released by Warner Bros. on June 8, 2018.
