    UPDATE: Summit Entertainment has just confirmed with me that Steve Jablonsky will in fact be scoring Ender’s Game.

    While the last we heard of the Ender’s Game score was a rumor that James Horner would be doing the film’s score, this was never actually confirmed by Summit. When checking IMDB (which has the Ender’s Game trailer featured on the front page!) today, I noticed that the film’s composer had been changed to Steve Jablonsky.

    If you’re not sure who he is by name, you’d most likely recognize his work from the three Transformers films.

    Here’s a sampling of his music:

    While I was thrilled to hear that James Horner was possibly tied to the project, I’d be really pleased with Jablonsky as well. I thought his scores for all three Transformers movies remained great scores even while the entertainment quality of the third movie dipped rather drastically (in my humble opinion).

    This story is still a rumor, as IMDB can be edited by anyone with a premium membership. I’ve contacted Summit about confirmation.

    According to Film Music Reporter, two time Academy-award winning composer James Horner has signed on to score the upcoming film adaptation Ender’s Game.

    As a longtime fan of Horner’s music in truly amazing scores such as Titanic, Braveheart, and Legends of the Fall, I’m trying my best not to utterly freak out over this possibility. But since the site doesn’t quote a source, I’ve tagged it as a rumor until I can get confirmation.

    Horner brings an incredible amount of experience to the film, having scored over 150 films in his career in movie music starting back in 1978.
