Michael Giacchino, the composer of Up, has been tapped by Universal Pictures to score Jurassic World.
Undoubtedly, some will always miss John Williams’ participation in the Jurassic Park franchise, but it is impossible to fault Universal Pictures’ new choice for the musical maestro with Michael Giacchino.
As reported at ComingSoon, the Oscar winning composer who scored the emotional rollercoaster Uphas been tapped to provide a new ode to the dinosaurs in Colin Tervorrow’s Jurassic World.
The respected musical composer, whom also provided the scores to The Incredibles, Lost, and Let Me In, joins an impressive team for the fourth trip to the park in the iconic series. With Steven Spielberg still producing, Jurassic World also enjoys a cast that includes Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jake Johnson, Ty Simpkins, and Omar Sy. Giacchino previously got to (less overtly) sample a Williams sytled sound in J.J. Abrams’ E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind reminiscent Super 8.
Jurassic World opens June 15, 2015.

I wonder if he'll be able to use John Williams' original score for inspiration? I would imagine the studio owns the original score, not John Williams himself, right?
