Balahkay 627 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Must keep expectations down...John will be opening the floor to an interview slash "Ask Me Anything," for JWFan members only. Maybe a live chat even, where he will walk through some of his ideas for Episode VII.Would Williams have ideas for Episode VII this far in advance? The score probably won't be recorded until this time next year. Although, I remember reading somewhere that JW supposedly said at one his concerts last year that maybe he'll have a preview for the new Star Wars film in 2014. Can't find where I read that, though, but I don't think it was from a reliable source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Unfortunately, I was engaging in some completely wild and unlikely speculation. But who know, he may have ideas already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Unfortunately, I was engaging in some completely wild and unlikely speculation. But who know, he may have ideas already.He is quite set in his modus operandi of just seeing the film and not having any prior knowledge of the plot or reading the script or apparently even having very detailed discussions with the director on the content of the movie so he can have as fresh an approach to the emotional narrative as possible, much like any audience member. Very old school. It is the exact opposite of some film composers who are very cerebral and study the subject matter deeply beforehand to kindle their inspiration and imagination. So I don't think he has been actively jotting down stuff or even given much active thought on the musical narrative as there is still no filmic one.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 As I said it is probably something EotS related, perhaps an early review of the album and an interview with Matessino plus info and some promo pics of the release.And that is worth setting a fancy countdown, err, counter?Is this forum so dead?

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If it's Star Wars stuff then I hope it's new movie related because we don't need any more music from the older movies. Done to death.I would like a JWFan theme, or a live Q&A with the Maestro himself! But I'm sure it's probably something much more mundane really.

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I am curious. I have been a member of this metwork since 2011. Has there ever been a countdown timer in anticipation for exclusive information on the Maestro's work, be it a new film score, an expanded release, or a new concert piece?If this is the first time, then it must be something great.

I have been a member of this metwork since 2011. Has there ever been a countdown timer in anticipation for exclusive information on the Maestro's work, be it a new film score, an expanded release, or a new concert piece?If this is the first time, then it must be something great.Yes, i was just thinking the same.it should (or better) be something really really big, to justify the countdown! (but I'm afraid it will be something related to Star Wars VII)I'm not a fan of the "every single note must be released" concept.Neither am I Alex, but an OST is someone's idea of the 'best bits' of a score. What if that dramatically differs from mine?Very good point!! If we had remained in the 1982 OST of E.T., we would have missed some of the greatest music!
