Furthermore, just because Spielberg 'will make' this UFO movie, that doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be directing it. It could be that his production company, Amblin, is putting up the money to have it made and that he'll hire a director to it. If that is the case, then that director will be hiring the composer of his choice, not necessarily JW.
 
On the other hand, I'm not overlooking the idea that the chosen director may bring in JW to do the music, but not puttng my hopes on that, at this earlier stage.

Decided to go to this. The fact they are using real choir and soloists makes me more optimistic about this. Plus (almost) any live Horner is good.

They have used a long time releasing RCA's Classic Film Scores series, they're not in a hurry. I guess RotJ will come if the sales figures of SW/CE3K are satisfactory. 

I have enquired about it But no response from them whatsoever. Lets hope it happens. DUTTON just released a new batch after a very long gap but nothing did stir any interest for me there.

When I saw the credit-block of the Batman poster and read who would be doing the music for this hyped-up film, I was not impressed with the choice of the composer--only because it was not either JW, or Jerry Goldsmith, or even James Horner.    Just prior to the release of the film, I listened to a radio interview with one of the film's executive producers, Micheal Uslan, and he was so enthusiastic about the Danny Elfman score that he compared it to the music-styles of Max Steiner (yes, that was the composer-name that Uslan dropped).   I was 18-years-old when I saw the film  in the theater. Although the theatre was Dolby-Stereo equipped,  I could not hear the dialogue very well, much less hear the  the music to get any impression of it.    Later in August of '89, a radio-show in New York City has played the score-CD album in its entirety (I was tapping soundtracks off the air with my cassette-tape deck in those days) and that was when I was taken aback by the unique orchestrations from this rock-music front-man.   I remember waiting with anticipation for his follow-up score, 'Nightbreed'.
