Snowster 23 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 "Apple plans to create 10 new episodes of "Amazing Stories" alongside Amblin and NBC Universal, with plans to spend more than $5 million per episode. Spielberg is likely to be an executive producer for the new version of the show, according to The Wall Street Journal's sources." https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/10/apple-steven-spielberg-amazing-stories/ What do you think, are they going to use the original theme? Is Steven Spielberg going to direct the pilot? Will John Williams create a new theme for the "new" series and/or will he score the pilot? --Snowster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It would be neat if SS can convince JW to write some new music for this, like an updated recording of the opening and closing titles. There's no chance he'll score a whole episode though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Amazing Stories 2049: Legacy? I thought this show wasn't very successful. But then, that hasn't stopped them from momentarily reviving all of these other properties from irrelevancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,660 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Well, in the case of this show, it is just a platform for telling non-connected stories of a generic sci-fi/fantasy kind. So, if they have some stories to tell, then why not do so and use a semi-recognizable name to jump start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm all for this. The original series wasn't great by any stretch but this should be an excellent vehicle for anthology stories. I just hope they put actual talent behind it so it doesn't turn out like that shitty Minority Report series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams will not be involved in this in any capacity, I'm willing to bet a lot of money on that. But there's a slight -- slight! -- chance they'd use his theme in a new arrangement. But in all likelihood, it will have a new theme to fit the more contemporary story they're telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,506 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Very intriguing. Hope they'll reuse Williams' theme (update it if they must), and that the roster of episode composers is equally impressive as the original series.

Popular Post Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted March 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2019 It would be super cool if some composers who worked on this show at the beginning of their careers -- like Danny Elfman, Bruce Broughton, Craig Safan, David Newman, and Thomas Newman -- would come back and be the veterans this time, like Delerue, Williams, Goldenberg, Shire, Mandel, Addison, Steiner, and Goldsmith were last time.

crumbs 14,317 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Seems remarkably hypocritical from Spielberg after his grandstanding against Netflix over the last few months.
