Doyle'Rise from the Planet from the Apes'Patrick Doyle marched towards the beat of their own drum when creating the score to "Rise from the Planet from the Apes," his dark, rousing work contrasting with this of his immediate "Apes" predecessor, Danny Elfman.Whereas Elfman submerged audiences in explosive percussion, Doyle focused rather on emotional texture, as well as on developing a singular, effective theme for Caesar, the ape around whom the storyline revolves."That which was interesting could be that the film has a minimum of 45 minutes of near silence, therefore it was as much as the background music to keep the storyline of Caesar, who did not have words aside from the odd little bit of sign language," states the two times-Academy-nominated Doyle, who also composed "Thor."Since the film was shot using performance capture, Doyle frequently was compelled to totally rewrite and intensify his score once he saw the ultimate edit featuring computer-made apes, instead of stars.
