Last night, MTV's Kurt Loder sat down with "The Lord of the Rings" composer Howard Shore and Pippin the Hobbit actor Billy Boyd at The Paley Center for Media. Kurt was there to moderate a panel called Shore on the Score: The Music of "The Lord of the Rings," which featured Shore, Boyd and The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films author Doug Adams.
The event kicked off a week long "Lord of the Rings" celebration which will culminate with live performances of the "Fellowship of the Ring" score at Radio City Music Hall on October 9 and 10.
At the panel, Shore confirmed that he'll be working with Peter Jackson again soon on the score for the Guillermo del Toro-directed adaptation of The Hobbit." Much like what he did for "Lord of the Rings," Shore will compose his music before he ever sees a frame of the film.
