David Arnold by Rebekah Walton

He is going to be the Composer for the Voyage of the Dawn Treader instead of Harry Gregson-Williams. Is this a good thing or bad thing? This time I will let you make your own mind and decide from from what he said in interview instead of trying to just say what I think. But just to let you know I am a tad bit worry. Make that really scared. Because if the music sounds wrong the whole movie is ruined.
DA: I wasn't really offered this sort of films anymore and I am not sure why that was. I am not sure why I got offered the ones I did get offered; the third Narnia film, which was supposed to be immediately after the next Bond, would be a chance to go back to more traditional fantasy style scores that I haven't done for quite a long time.
David Arnold:The one thing I love about those things is that there are no rules. Nothing is actually real, you don't actually have to worry about having a responsibility to truthfulness in a real sense; it's just about how to make the film's feeling and heighten the film's effectiveness. You're not telling a true story. It's not like Amazing Grace which was a film about something that really happened, a film that has actually affected real people... A giant talking lion (in Narnia) is not the same sense of responsibility.

Obviously you're respectful of the material and of the certain amount of truth there still is in the film you have to be honest with. I am really looking forward to it though, it's been such a long time since I last done this sort of thing, I am interested to see how I write now, it is a long time ago.
If you are worried, too, go here it may help:
