Incanus 5,714 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 from the Harry Potter sessions (2001) "Williams is totally professional and focused. He creates a pleasant working atmosphere but does not let anything get past him; he may address people as “angel” or “baby” or even “angel baby,” but they jump when he asks for something."What does he ask that makes them jump?They jump, beg, roll over and play dead if need be.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 You gotta feel sorry for JJ.Months and months of working and John Williams and for his next films he'll be back to using Gia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,104 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think we have seen those 'leather bound' bookshelf of his scores in some interview documentary. Or was it a picture.

crumbs 14,313 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does anyone else reckon JJ probably used the leather bound scores of the 6 films to identify and point out specific themes or cues he wanted Williams to include in TFA? Or perhaps just open up YouTube and dial in a cue he wants imitated? I've got no doubt most of the OT references in the PT were a result of the temp track (the Clash of Lightsabers when Yoda confronts Sidious in ROTS being the best example).Or would Williams just refer to each theme by name and remember what they are? Footage of spotting sessions is so rare but I'd love to be a fly on the wall for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that maddening for any artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead_lizard 12 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 If you watch one of the joint interviews with Spielberg, you can hear Steven imitating him making a phone call about having seen a rough cut of Jaws, and you can see that JW gets a little embarrassed at it "no, no dear baby boy.... you've made a pirate movie" or something to that effect.

Tom 4,654 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Maybe JJ can convince Spielberg to edit all of his personal "Williams at work" recordings into a documentary of sorts. We might get a lot more of these little insights into how Williams rolls. Not Mr. Big and dead_lizard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_lizard 12 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I imagine a huge williams biopic will be the first thing spielberg does when he can no longer work with JW anymore. i could even imagine the poster, with spielberg in small letters and williams in huge print. we know he must have a stockpile of countless hours of the man at work and in conversation. but let's not get impatient for that particular project.
