Thor 7,508 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 But none of these scores are as good as AI, so what's the point?A.I. is a fantastic score (one of my favs by Williams and in general), but I was -- obviously -- pleased with the existing release. As such, the expansion felt unnecessary. These unreleased gems from the past, however, are anything but unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amer 2,110 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well Doug at Intrada has hinted that they have John Williams lined up. No timelines given. It looks like two projects. But I can make an educated guess that the first one could be JAWS! Plus we have LLL preparing more JW projects so I guess these are good things to hope for until we get the new STAR WARS movie score.

As such, the expansion felt unnecessary.Interesting that you feel that way since A.I., to me, is one of the most jarring examples in recent memory of an expanded release almost completely changing, improving, and enhancing the listening experience with so many nice moments reinstated from the OST, properly segmented, and in storytelling order.I vastly prefer it over the OST and now can't imagine the score any other way.

Goes to show how different experiences can be in our strange, human minds! But at least we share a love of the movie -- IMO one of the best of the 2000s, and still very underrated (although it's starting to gain the reputation it deserves).

Even Mike Matttessino has hinted that their collaborations with the LLL/John Williams will yield more opportunities for the future. And Intrada recently confirmed in a post by Doug Fake that they have John Williams lined up possibly 2 projects for their post 30th Anniversary celebrations.Lets see.."always in motion, the future is" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I hope Jaws and/or Jaws 2 will be released this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,829 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 This year was the anniversary of The Eiger Sanction too.It's a pity we didn't have at least a re-issue from Varese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I know Varese is sitting on a gold mind with Eiger Sanction, Earthquake, and Dracula. Get with the program, Varese!I'd happily buy a straight-up reissue of all three since I don't own them and they sell for crazy money on the secondary market.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I wouldn't exactly describe The Eiger Sanction, Earthquake and Dracula as a gold mine. I doubt they're sitting on them. There's a reason they don't even simply reissue the OST albums. They either can't or they don't see any profit in it.

Jay 37,368 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well, Jaws 2 was in the same camp as those three (an MCA LP that Varese first put on CD), and Jaws 2 just came out on Intrada. So maybe Intrada actually got the license to those other ones too, but hasn't started work yet with all the Jaws titles (not to mention everything else they had on their plate) this year. Well, a man can dream. I have no idea what's coming next in the Williams world >shrug< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I would take the original main title of EIGER SANCTION but on the whole, the albums were much better elaborations on their film counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,829 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 well, the thread was referring to 2015, but taking it further to 2016 and raising all the hints, do we expect anything else this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yes, one is confirmed for this year, I thought you saw MV's post about it in this thread http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26196-the-towering-inferno-jfk-coming-from-lll/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,317 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Surely we're only a year away from The Lost World, right? That Matessino/Williams/Spielberg relationship must be bearing some more fruit in the near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The optimist would say we're only a year away from an anniversary edition. Although the missing bits from this one are more fragmented I think - way more risk of something being left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 916 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I wouldn't mind if there was any expanded Williams Potter scores coming this year, Lost World or The Force Awakens a little further in the future. On the latter, I think if it happens, it's possible it could be announced next month, at Star Wars Celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,508 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Expanded, schmexpanded....when will a specialty label announce a previously unreleased score, I wonder? It's been 5 years since the last one (NIGHTWATCH in 2011); seems like it's a totally barren landscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall a single microedit on the JP OST but TLW is filled with them. Unfortunately there's probably little traction with Universal as far as expansions go; if TLW was a Warners or Sony picture, I'd be a lot more confident. While Williams supervised the JP remastering and expansion, Universal released it through their own label and likely have no intention of sharing the pie with this particular franchise.

I primarily want (like most here I think) the full, unedited version of 'Rescuing Sarah'. That's one of those cases where JW made a baffling micro-edit and removed some damn cool stuff.

But a smokin' good album too, I think. Very "Stravinsky". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
