chrispappas 2 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 From a post by Kevin Burns in the Lost in Space memories Facebook group: " Lots of progress on the new "Lost in Space" for Netflix. Several writers have been hired to join Matt Sazama, Burk Sharpless and series show-runner, Zack Estrin. Season One will consist of ten full hour episodes at a budget of approximately $90 Million! But the BIG NEWS is that John Williams has agreed to "freshen up" his classic LIS music -- including the theme songs. Stay tuned!

Thor 7,627 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Sounds weird, but if it's true, my suspicion is this: he's either agreed to do a re-arrangement of the ONE classic theme (the first season theme) OR given permission for someone else to remix it, like the Apollo 440 version for the 90s feature film. I doubt there's anything more than that; they're not going to use his dramatic music from either of the four episodes he did. And there is no 'theme songs' (they're neither songs nor in plural, unless you count the slightly different versions of the theme from season to season).

Naïve Old Fart 9,698 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Er, yeah...exactly like this. I liked what Apollo 440 did, but that was in the context of an end title. If JW had any sense (and he does) he'd stay away from the whole thing. filmmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,493 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I think the most realistic best case scenario is that he records new main/end titles. It could be awesome! Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,757 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Seems to me that this does 2 things: When his theme is mutilated for the 'modern audience', they can proudly claim it had JW's blessing, and as already stated, it associates a big name with the series. Same sort of thing as Zimmer being announced as 'score producer' for some random miniseries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,655 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hopefully this means the show will at least it will probably have an awesome theme song, which is more than you can say for most of the music for these Netflix series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I absolutely LOVED the theme (and music otherwise) for the recent show STRANGER THINGS. Some good TV themes are still being produced, for Netflix and otherwise. In either case, I'm curious to see what they'll do with this reboot. The original show was incredibly campy, but still remains one of the three most important sci fi shows to come out of the 60s. And the basic premise has the potential to be adapted into something more serious and gripping. I have high hopes for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,627 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 To each their own. It's a type of score very much up my alley. It's my favourite TV score of 2016 so far. As for applying an old theme to a new sci fi reboot, I remember with fondness the beautiful way they incorporated Stu Phillips' original BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA theme into the final episode of the reboot show a few years back. So there's room for that kind of thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 It's still unclear but if Williams will be composing anything new or even just arranging old stuff I am very excited for this. The wording of the Facebook post makes it sound like it will be Williams himself who "freshens up" the theme. But they could mean as Thor suggested that he's just given his blessing for someone else to do it. Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,757 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 It's not like they need his blessing - they can go ahead and do whatever they want with it. But it sounds better to have it. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,627 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Did Williams give his "permission" for Apollo 440 remix, I wonder? I doubt it; it's not like he's sitting on the copyrights. It would be a courtesy call, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
