mrbellamy 6,272 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 This was all an elaborate hoax by Kobe to get John Williams to write him a personal fanfare which will never be released, and to get invited to the Episode 8 sessions so he could steal the recordings and keep them to himself. Kobe betrayed us! He is not our friend! Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Maclaine 7 Posted January 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2017 I saw someone hint at this elsewhere in this thread, but I thought I'd post some proof. Not only does Kobe have a picture of John Williams in his office, it's right over his desk, along with a few other notable folks. It's hidden by the door frame (how disrespectful!) but it's this promo portrait: Regardless of your opinion of the man, he's very intelligent and seemingly began planning his post-basketball career a while ago. He's been very vocal in interviews about pursuing entertainment and storytelling, hence the four portraits. Steve Jobs might be a bit of a stretch in the storytelling department, unless the story being told is that you definitely need Apple products over the alternative, in which case he surpasses anyone else on that wall. Anyway, when I learned about this, I thought it was pretty cool. Many professional athletes are entirely single minded about their career in sports and often neglect what happens when they have to move on. I'm excited to see what Kobe does with his intelligence, passion, and influence. And, of course, to hear what the Maestro has cooked up for him! artguy360, Cerebral Cortex, Will and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Wow @Maclaine, super cool find! At first I wondered if Kobe was just one of those Williams "fans" that just knew him for the Imperial March or whatever. But with his Rey's theme comment and this photo, I'm thinking his fandom is a little more than that! Cerebral Cortex and Maclaine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Terrific news!!!! I was starting to worry it had been canceled! Great to hear they're already done animating, seemingly, or at least close. I know this might sound kind of crazy, but is there any chance that the music we hear at the beginning for a brief moment is a score except? I mean, The BFG premiere at Cannes used the film's score for the red carpet thing. Around 6:50 too there's some somewhat Williams-y stuff. I know I'm just grasping at straws here, but you never know, maybe these could be lucky straws. Gosh, Williams must have had fun working with Kobe (or will, if he hasn't scored it yet). So charismatic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I feel like the fact that Kobe was at the Last Jedi sessions is pretty telling that they're well-acquainted now. I don't think he would have just randomly gotten invited to sit in on that if he hadn't still been in recent contact with Williams. How long would it really take JW to score this thing, anyway, if it's just a few minutes like he said? A couple days? A week? An hour or two recording it? Not like this is something that would eat up his time and our man's still in good shape to knock something like this out, dust himself off and go back to his larger projects.

Tom 4,633 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 As long as the players were getting paid for two projects, I don't see why there would be a problem.

Will 2,215 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Olympic Spirit seems to have been used at least twice as transition music, either on location or added to the broadcast: I'm still wondering whether any clips of Williams' score might be heard here. After BFG I always need to check. I heard another orchestral fanfare I don't know: Then again, most of the music sounds very unlike JW. EDIT: And here.. EDIT #2: Another little bit: I'm starting to think these are either pre-existing film compositions or stock music made to emulate Williams and his peers (given their variety and lack of repeating motifs).
