Howard Shore removed? Deja vu Saruman?

[Aiwendil]

Maybe the new James newton Howard will keep some of the things Howard Shore wrote because i can't see how you can write something in two weeks and get it recorded as well.

Well, it happened on Troy. Gabriel Yared's finely crafted score, many months in the making, was replaced with one by James Horner a few weeks prior to the movie's release. Of course, James Newton Howard doesn't have quite the same reputation for assembly-line insta-scores as Horner does.
