Lewya 360 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 You are allowed to mention two honorable mentions if you want. My top 3: James Cameron (Avatar sequels) Peter Jackson (anything) Martin Scorsese (anything) 2 honorable mentions for a top 5 would be: Christopher Nolan (anything) Terrence Malick (anything) Which three directors would you most like to see Williams compose a score for?

SteveMc 2,674 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Christopher Nolan for sure. Peter Jackson would be interesting. As for a third, hmm. How about Wes Anderson? Would be quite intriguing to see what Williams would do for that assignment. Once and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 2,032 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'd love to see a quirky Wes Anderson comedy with a jazzy, Catch Me if You Can-esque Williams score. EDIT: nuts, @Steve McQueen beat me to it! Once and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2018 Anderson favors very childlike/simplistic music for his original scores and I'd love to see what complexity Williams could smuggle into that milieu SteveMc, John, Once and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all three Stone scores. But Wes Anderson? Please, no. Let him have his quirk with Desplat and company and leave Williams out of it. On a more realistic note, I seriously doubt we'll ever see another BOOK THIEF-type assignment that comes out of left field and that isn't STAR WARS- or Spielberg-related in the remaining years of his career.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 James Cameron - very well-matched to Williams' dramatic instincts Peter Jackson - see above Martin Scorsese - I'd love to see Williams score a Gangs of New York-esque drama from him, or even something more along the lines of Silence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,301 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Williams would quit composing if he ever had to work with James Cameron. He's clearly held in very high esteem though. There were persistent rumours about Williams scoring Avatar so who knows what happened there and why Cameron never sought him out. Maybe he did and was turned down?

Thor 7,465 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I also wish Robert Altman was still alive, because then I'd choose him. But I'd love to see him branch out for a similarly cutting-edge director that is still alive. Now the question is -- who is the "Robert Altman" of today? Paul Thomas Anderson?

I've been on an Anime kick lately and the music is consistently impressive, much moreso than most modern film music and much MUCH moreso than most (all) modern TV music. Anime isn't afraid of getting super emotional or having a prominent score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Three not mentioned: The Wachowskis, Spike Jonze, Ridley Scott Peter Jackson, James Cameron obviously. Tintin 2 would have been fun, not sure that'll happen with or without Johnny. I feel like Williams would actually work pretty well with George Clooney. Wouldn't be the most unpredictable thing in the world but he's pretty old-school and gets good scores. The Coens, depending on the project. John Williams on Hail Caesar! would have been great. Always down for reunions with Cuaron, Stone, DePalma, Annaud. Columbus too (come onnnn Five Nights at Freddy's!!!)
