If they ever made a film about JW, anyone else think this guy should play him?

[ShowUStheHOOK 8]

Actor: David Ogden Stiers John Williams

[King Mark 3,975]

Well, he's one of the top candidates for sure

[Xander Harris 9,674]

Yes and Dustin Hoffman as Goldsmith for their eventual fight scene.

[ShowUStheHOOK 8]

Yes and Dustin Hoffman as Goldsmith for their eventual fight scene.

YES. lol. oddly, if you see photos of goldsmith when he was younger, Hoffman does semi resemble him.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

These should be officially listed as FAQs.

[King Mark 3,975]

JW should score his own movie, expanding JW's theme he wrote for the Japanese Fan Club

[indy4 160]

What about this guy:

[Jill Sandwich 11,166]

Richard has slightly more hair.

[indy4 160]

On his head maybe; I prefer Williams' beard.

[hornist 1,261]

This would be great on marketing the movie: "John Williams as John Williams"

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

Didn't we do this like...8 times already?

I mean it was fun in 2004...

[hornist 1,261]

So were you.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

oh yeah!

[chuck 155]

What about the other composers?

How about John C. McGinley as Henry Mancini?

Jay Baruchel as Elmer Bernstein?

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

Jay Baruchel as Elmer Bernstein?

And Donnelly Rhodes as the old Bernstein:

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

The noses are remarkably similar.

[Incanus 5,890]

The noses are remarkably similar.

He could be Bernstein's close-up nose double.

[alicebrallice 134]

giacchino and vaughn!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

I've met Gia. his personality could not be different from the wise-cracking characters Vaugh usually portrays...

[alicebrallice 134]

in úbeda, I presume? I'm jealous. tell me more! you didn't get a chance to speak with him, did you?

[hornist 1,261]

If they will make one of Santaolalla my choice would be:

Gustavo

Jorge

I'm definitely not going to watch this one. I hate comedies.

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

in úbeda, I presume? I'm jealous. tell me more! you didn't get a chance to speak with him, did you?

Personally, no. (well i could take a photo with him) i was forbidden by the organisation. I wanted to record him giving salutes to 'his fans at JWfan'. but when i called him in one of the breaks the organiser got him to the vip room, he didnt notice

On the questions time after his speech, I was the one who asked him how he came with the idea of all those puns in his tracklists...and i think i ruined the magic for everyone

His sister made us a personal small interview though... how embarrasing, i wonder what Michael thought when he saw that...

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

in úbeda, I presume? I'm jealous. tell me more! you didn't get a chance to speak with him, did you?

No, I did not have time for Michael.

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I do not want to see a movie about John Williams! A documentary yes, a fictionalized film, no way.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

His life is too boring for a film.

[Incanus 5,890]

His life is too boring for a film.

Most of the movie would be one score writing montage after another. A few clips of Boston Pops intrigue and then more monastic writing in his studio.

[ShowUStheHOOK 8]

I do not want to see a movie about John Williams! A documentary yes, a fictionalized film, no way.

Good point, since they ( hollywood ) had to fictionalize the lives of the classic composers already. WHo knows what they would make williams out to be.

I can see it now " actually if you didn't know Williams was the inspiration behind indiana jones. While working on star wars, wlliams reveled to lucas his secret side job as an archaeologist ..."

[mrbellamy 8,243]

Rachel Portman

 

 

Willem Dafoe

 

[alicebrallice 134]

[Brónach 1,330]

I was thinking a similar thing

[chuck 155]

Martin Landau as Lionel Newman:

Victor Garber as Bernard Herrmann:

[movied 24]

Slightly unrealistic, but the resemblance is uncanny.

[Thor 9,362]

For Danny Elfman, I've always pictured Jason Flemyng:

[chuck 155]

Andre Previn

Will be played by James Mcavoy:

[Thor 9,362]

Must admit there are a few here where I don't really see the resemblance -- young Bernstein, Giacchino/Vaugn, Portman/Defoe (obviously a joke), Herrmann and Previn.

Btw, for Herrmann, I think Hamlisch could have been a good choice, had he been an actor:

But if you had to go with an actor, I'd choose Michael Lerner:

And if they ever make a film about Pope Benedict, get Robert Blake out of prison, he, he....

[hornist 1,261]

I think Giacchino/Vaugn was very good.

[ShowUStheHOOK 8]

Martin Landau as Lionel Newman:

I was thinking more along the lines of Steve Kahan for Lionel Newman

[movied 24]

I sure hope Kevin Connolly will play Michael Kamen.

[Thor 9,362]

Interestingly, Connolly played a film composer in an episode of COLUMBO. Michael Kamen was the the one who immediately came to my mind as well while I saw that.

[chuck 155]

I sure hope Kevin Connolly will play Michael Kamen.

That's Billy Connolly.

[movied 24]

Yes yes, it's Billy Connolly. He's going to be in both Brave AND The Hobbit!

Kevin Connolly is a real person at least....I'm not going thaaaat crazy.

[chuck 155]

Yes yes, it's Billy Connolly. He's going to be in both Brave AND The Hobbit!

Kevin Connolly is a real person at least....I'm not going thaaaat crazy.

Dude, you're losing it.

[Wojo 2,458]

Kevin Connolly was on Entourage and Unhappily Ever After. Next question.

How far the Penguins will get on the playoffs?
