Composer Alexandre Desplat Has Been Tapped To Pen The Music For The Upcoming Star Wars Spin-off Film, Making It The First Movie In The Franchise Without A John Williams Soundtrack.
Just weeks after winning his first Oscar for his work on The Grand Budapest Hotel, Desplat has revealed Star Wars: Rogue One director Gareth Edwards has recruited him for the much-anticipated film, due out in 2016.
Desplat, who previously worked with Edwards on 2014 film Godzilla, revealed the project in an interview with France's Radio Classique.
He said, "When I saw Gareth Edwards' first film, which was called Monsters, I was really blown away by his talent and so I immediately agreed to compose the score for Godzilla. And the good news is that we are going to do another movie together very soon, which is a spin-off of Star Wars. So that is very, very exciting."
Williams composed the iconic music for the original Star Wars trilogy and won an Oscar for 1977's Star Wars. He is still slated to write the score for forthcoming Star Wars episodes VII, VIII, and IX.
Star Wars: Rogue One marks the first spin-off non-trilogy film, and will star The Theory of Everything's Felicity Jones.
