They didn't want to just name the movie Police Squad (the show it was based on), worried about people confusing it with the Police Academy films. So they came up with a big list of potential names, and picked The Naked Gun because it "promised so much more than it could possibly deliver." The term originates from the wild west days (a gun without a holster) but I dunno if that is how the name got on the list. I always figured it was a nod to Get Smart's movie followup being called The Nude Bomb

Of course. I said unlikely, not impossible.

Since releases co-licensed from 20th Century Fox/Studios to any label stopped at the end of 2022, anything in the Alien/Predator franchise seems unlikely to me.

For his part, Spielberg, 77, is also staying busy. He will likely make his next project a UFO film based on his own original idea. David Koepp is writing the screenplay, sources say. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/martin-scorsese-frank-sinatra-biopic-dicaprio-jennifer-lawrence-1235973769/

Typo fixed!

The only titles Varese releases in their Club line these days are titles they own perpetuity rights to*. They don't own perpetuity rights to Predator (and the Intrada edition is still in print), and they just Deluxed Predator 2 10 years ago Here's a list of titles they own in perpetuity https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=86092&forumID=1&archive=0 * Dracula, HTTYD 2, and HTTYD 3 are the only exceptions in the past 10 years or so.

So bummed they've made a Steamworld Heist II before a Steamworld Dig III

I highly doubt it

There's probably more than an hour of detours into dubstep and whatnot that can be culled right away to get down to under 8 hours For certain there are two stretched of the OST album you can listen to right now that flow great: -From the first track through "Junon - Fortified Metropolis" (about 1 hour, 40 minutes.... can shorten it by removing the two Queen's Blood tracks) -From "Listen To The Cries of the Planet" until the final track (also about 1 hour, 40 minutes...though honestly you could remove all the Sephiroth Reborn tracks). Both stretches would be a pretty good place to get started! The various Chocobo tracks throughout are charming and fun! Can't recommend any specific tracks otherwise yet because I kind of tried to listen to it as an album without paying too much attention to what tracks I was listening to for my first listen.

Option 1 - Gil Shaham & Jonathan Feldman, from the 2000 album Devil's Dance Option 2 - Anne-Sophie Mutter, from the 2021 album John Williams In Vienna Option 3 - Sara Andon, Cecilia Tsan, Simone Pedroni, from the 2024 album John Williams Reimagined

I'm intrigued
