Matt C 452 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I hope this doesn't mean Gia is scoring. If Williams is still alive and willing (fingers crossed), I imagine Kathleen Kennedy would retain his services for Episodes VIII and VIX. I can't see Trevorrow saying, "No, I want Giacchino."If you're directing a SW film and Williams is willing and/or contracted for it, you don't question the producers' decision.

He just has a lot more personal projects he wants to pursue. He's the reason Trevorrow directed Jurassic World. Kennedy and Marshall have lots of respect for him.

mrbellamy 6,270 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 In terms of Episode IX potentially closing out the Luke Skywalker saga, he's not the most inspiring choice ever, but honestly who would be (that would actually do it?) I agree that these are not director-driven films and Trevorrow's sensibilities for this series seem solid. Actually I think I like Safety Not Guaranteed more than anything either JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson has done, and Jurassic World more than anything besides Brick.

crumbs 14,287 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ozymandias definitely ranks up there as the best piece of work from all 3 directors, quite comfortably too.Johnson's got an impeccable ability to convey palpable tension. His framing is all class and he's got a brilliant penchant for mise en scene. I'm probably looking forward to his film the most but I think all 3 directors have been solid choices. Johnson is just the most inspired of the 3, for my liking. He strikes me as the type of director just screaming out for the big opportunity so he can grab it with both hands. Arguably what Treverrow achieved with Jurassic World, considering his relative lack of experience, is remarkably impressive too. Those would be terrifyingly complex movies to make and he balanced all the ingredients far better than a seasoned veteran did on JP3. And in an age of Josh Trank meltdowns after kids are given the keys to Hollywood, proven types like Treverrow would be in high demand. Don't underestimate how many brownie points you earn in Hollywood coming in under budget, a month early, open to producer and studio feedback... and not having a nervous breakdown.

Jay 37,249 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 It does seem likely that if Williams doesn't want to score Episode 8 and Episode 9, then Giacchino would score Episode 9 for Trevorrow.

Jay 37,249 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 It likely depends on his health an interest in the next movie. It he hates the first cut, I doubt he'd want to score it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Two years ago, Kennedy said Williams was "committed" to doing the entire trilogy. 3:12Hopefully his interest hasn't changed, even though the official press release only mentioned Williams working on TFA. But, they are probably holding back on news for the following films after TFA is released. As far as I know, we only know the directors, release dates and possibly a few cast members who may return.

Jay 37,249 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well Episode 8 is released in May of 2017, so it will begin filming early next year, at least by the start of the summer at the latest. If Williams is scoring it, he'd likely start soon after he finishes with The BFG (releasing July 2016)Who knows what his health an interest level in another Star Wars film will be then *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
