TownerFan 4,983 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 How they hell did they hook JW?I wouldn't be surprised if JW offered his services to them, like he did many times in the last years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 126 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The movie looks and sounds pretty sentimental to me. The stills remind me of War Horse.It did to me at first as well, but it can work out quite differently depending on the script and the director. What similar projects do we know from this director?I checked Rotten Tomatoes. He's done one movie and it's sitting at 50% but he also directed Downtown Abbey apparently. This is the writer's very first project I believe. To me it seems pretty rare that JW works with such a low-profile director. JW really must love that book. Anyhow it sounds promising, as this Downtown Abbey should be a good series. Time to finally go and check it out.Let him write a fanfare for out anniversary!KarolWell, he did write a theme for a Japanse fan site once. Who's gonna ask?

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It's a good book but it's been along time since I read it. It's told from Death's point of view. I wonder if that makes the film but imagine John writing a theme for Death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro 26 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Jason, I think a lot of us consider Memoirs an extension of Spielberg.15 years! Wow. I remember coming to the site back in 1999. I too used to learn about Williams scores from posters. Always fun going around Theatres looking at posters in hopes of learning about a new score. Sabrina and Nixon were the last times I was surprised. After that, websites got the scoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 4,653 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 this site mentions that Williams was in talks to do the film last November, which is probably the normal production timeline for such things. http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/08/06/john-williams-to-score-the-book-thief/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxfan 128 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 A Fox movie on top of it!

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3096794/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_smI thought IMDB added The Book Thief on his composer credits but he's listed on the Lego Star Wars movie. I hate it when people list "Music by John Williams" on projects where they use previously written music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Fuck yes!!!! This is great news! Since it's narrated from Death's perspective, that probably means the director isn't looking towards realism...which is great news for the score! I wonder if we can expect an appearance from the Dies Irae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,278 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 !!!Just 3 months away too! I love this feeling. With Spielberg, we essentially learn about a new JW score the day the film is announced, which is a really nice guarantee to have but it means the countdown always starts a year or two ahead of time. It's great to have something announced so close to release, for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is really nice that we can still be surprised in this day and age. If anyone can elude us in this technology and media saturated world it is John Williams. I am still amazed that he didn't announce this over the telegram or use carrier pidgeons to spread the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
