  1. This might have been discussed on the board before, I'm sorry if I missed it... but does anyone know how much John Williams usually makes per score that he composes? Thanks Chris
  2. Hmm.. This is an interesting question. I guess the only one I can think of is when I heard the Apollo 13 theme around the time I was really getting into film scores, and I thought maybe it was John Williams. I have a habit of always looking up the composer before I see the film. Apollo 13 has that opening snare solo, trumpet solo, and then entrance of the orchestra. Although the themes are not alike, the form is similar to the theme from JFK. (I think any trumpet player would die to play either of those solos.) Chris
  3. I was looking forward to this movie, and just found out about James Horner doing the score. Therefore, I'm not going to see it. No, not really. I'm not a big fan of James Horner because I can't stand most uses of synthesizer. The Titanic chorus thing just sickened me. I like some of his music, like Field of Dreams and Deep Impact, but really can't get into his music for some reason. Now, that doesn't mean that I don't like all composers except Williams! You can't think that or you'll never be able to enjoy any other film scores. I love James Newton Howard, Danny Elfman, John Barry, Howard Shore, and ESPECIALLY Elmer Bernstein. I feel that John Williams, out of all of those, can produce the best film score for any type of film. I think John Williams, especially with his interest in silent film, would have loved to have done this score with the exception that he will be very busy soon with the last Star Wars, the third Harry Potter, Indiana Jones 4, and Walter Mitty, and he tends to stick with the directors that he's previously worked with. I was never expecting to see Williams do "The Passion" although I would have loved to have seen Elmer Bernstein do a final epic score like this, or however he wished to approach it. Chris
