![]() ![]() Now, I don't know what the film composition industry looked like back in 2001, but there had to have been composers who used a similar style as Williams even back then. Nowadays, you'd be much more likely to think of composers like Michael Giacchino or James Newton Howard. And let's face it, when you think of a composer who can emulate the "John Williams style", Don Davis is the last composer you'd think of. My main question is, why did John Williams recommend Don Davis? At the time Jurassic III was in scoring stage, Don was only really known for his work on The Matrix (1999). He did personally recommend composer Don Davis for the job, and what do you know Don got the job (who in their right mind would go against John Williams' personal recommendation). According to reports, John Williams was invited back for the third movie in the dinosaur franchise, but was unavailable. However, Jurassic Park III was undertaken by a new director and thus, seemingly, a new composer. It's one of the most notorious director/composer partnerships out there, which led to partnerships like Hans Zimmer scoring Christopher Nolan movies, and Alan Silvestri scoring Robert Zemeckis films. The first two films were directed by Steven Spielberg and scored by John Williams, which is to be expected. As Williams enthusiasts, or general film score enthusiasts will know, Don Davis of The Matrix fame scored the third Jurassic Park movie.
