Oleksinski, Johnny (December 13, 2022). " 'Avatar: The Way of Water' is the sequel we've been waiting for". New York Post . Retrieved December 16, 2022. Avatar composer James Horner intended to be part of the sequel as well as the forthcoming films in the franchise, [4] [5] before his death in a plane crash on June 22, 2015. [6] [7] Simon Franglen who associated with Horner as a record producer and arranger in of his films, reported to score for the film in December 2019. [8] His involvement was officially confirmed by Landau on August 2021, where he would compose for all of the forthcoming films. [9] [10] Franglen had notably completed the score for The Magnificent Seven (2016), post-Horner's death. [11] He also composed the original score for Pandora – The World of Avatar, the theme park attraction based on the film, and also arranged Horner's theme from the film, as Franglen wanted to "keep the core of the film's music together". [12] Hence, by 2017, he was ready to score for the film when Cameron asked him to read the scripts for the sequels. Franglen wanted to honor the legacy of Horner, by bringing new themes into the score, adding that "The vast majority of it is fresh and new because it’s a new film, and there are new characters in those new places. But there are moments when it’s important to have the original themes there. I hope that the fans of the original will like and recognize that we’ve tried to keep that because also there’s a flow for a series of films. Avatar isn’t a standalone film. It’s part of a whole canon of movies, we hope. Therefore, bringing some of the score from A1 into A2 I thought was appropriate and a good thing to do." [13] Legaspi, Aletha.
