War Horse Blu-ray Featurette

[Not Mr. Big 4,819]

They released the John Williams featurette, it's a bit disappointing.

[Jay 42,832]

Wow lots of closeups of sheet music pages. Can anyone read the slates or cue names?

[indy4 159]

That was disappointing. I don't think we got anything new from Williams, and just a paraphrase of Spielberg's liner notes in the OST. Oh well.

[Incanus 5,858]

Is this really all they have on the Blu-ray release about the score? If so then it is rather disappointing.

[crumbs 15,530]

Surely that's just an excerpt.

[indy4 159]

There's also that short clip of the sound editor praising the score. You would think that for what Spielberg has called JW's best score in a long time, there would be more than a one minute interview.

You're kidding? That's just a clip from the featurette!

1m1 Dartmoor

[crumbs 15,530]

Relax people,. it's just an excerpt. Williams always gets 7-8 minute long featurettes at Spielberg's personal request.

[Not Mr. Big 4,819]

Thank God! That was painfully short!

Hi,

I have it on good authority from the marketing people that this is the intro to a feature that runs about 10 minutes and there is a title plate that comes up on the last note of that intro.

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

Great! Now it makes sense.

[JohnnyD 1,558]

Could someone please upload the full featurette?

I do not have a Blu-ray player, nor can afford one, and therefore do not have War Horse on Blu-ray (I have the DVD).

[Josh500 1,620]

The full score featurette will not be available on DVD, then?

Won't there be a 2-disc special edition DVD or something?

[JohnnyD 1,558]

It IS not available on DVD.

As of right now, there is no 2-disc special edition DVD, not my knowledge anyway.

Will someone please answer my question?

[Josh500 1,620]

Hmmm, so what about the featurette?

Is this the full version? I hope not!

[JohnnyD 1,558]

This is NOT the full featurette.

That is why I asked for someone to upload the full version.

[Bryant Burnette 760]

This is NOT the full featurette.

That is why I asked for someone to upload the full version.

Just keep demanding it. I'm sure someone will bow to your imperiousness eventually.

[JohnnyD 1,558]

I am not demanding it.

I am only asking if someone could upload the full featurette. That is all.

Oh, and where do you go about calling me imperious,

when I am only asking in a common, calm, and polite way?

[Luke Skywalker 2,218]

It would be nice if someone could share* it, really.

I dont have a BR player either, and im planing to buy the DVD. There is not going to be a 2 disc edition? Damn :/

BTW the DVD is set to be released 27th june here so it's a long time even if i could buy a Bluray...

*a description of it

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

My Blu-Ray just came today, which is cool since the release date was this day and I have it already here in Finland.

Ordered it from England, very good service.

The sad thing is, there isn't any featurette about music... :crymore:

[Luke Skywalker 2,218]

??????????

And the teaser they showed us????

maybe just for the USA version?

its impossible, there must be there inside the making of or something...

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

I couldn't find it. There was one 20 minutes "making of" feature and I "fast-forwarded" it and didn't see any

sign of that teaser.

Well I just came from work, little bit drunk, have to check it again...

[Luke Skywalker 2,218]

are you some kind of wine tester?

'cause otherwise.. how did you get drunk at work!

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

Well we had a horn audition, got a new player, celebrated that. The audition was over before it was scheduled so

technically I got drunk at work...

[Joe Brausam 230]

I believe only the 4 disc bluray set has the featurette. My copy has it.

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

Oh, where I bought the Blu Ray only had this one disc edition. I thought it had this featurette.

Obviously I was too careless and bought a wrong item.

Here's a comprehensive review of the War Horse Blu-ray:

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/War-Horse-Blu-ray/35836/#Review

The JW featurette is this:

Editing & Scoring (HD, 9 minutes): Editor Michael Kahn and composer John Williams discuss their personal attachment to the story, their work on the film, and their ongoing collaboration with Spielberg (who weighs in on their efforts as well).

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,024]

Why would Williams and Kahn have any personal attachment to the story?

[Quintus 5,732]

Why have I still not seen this film? I'm gonna watch it this week.

[Josh500 1,620]

My Blu-Ray just came today, which is cool since the release date was this day and I have it already here in Finland.

Ordered it from England, very good service.

You joker!

[Richard P 4,804]

I saw the film last night - rather impressive. Story moves rather slow, but I felt it worked. Ending is pure Spielberg sentimental mush, but effective mush.

Does the featurette have anything except Spielberg saying how amazing Williams' music is, and Williams saying how Spielberg didn't dislike any of his ideas?

These two gents badly need to be interviewed with some real questions.

[Joe Brausam 230]

I was only half paying attention when I watched it, and that was a month ago. But it had some nice scoring stage footage and raw recordings, like you hear the actual sound from the stage and not the finished track overlaid on the footage. Rehearsal with the strings on No Man's Land. It also has a full orchestra performance of much of No Man's Land that proves that the film version of the cue has either an insert or is a different version altogether, that extra part that's in the film is not something that was micro-edited out of the full track.

He mentions that he wrote several different versions of Dartmoor, 1912 - the final version with the flute solo is apparently the most subtle and restrained version.

[JohnnyD 1,558]

That is awesome.

So, would you be able to upload the entire featurette, please?

[Joe Brausam 230]

I'd love to, but I don't have the equipment to rip a bluray.

[JohnnyD 1,558]

I'll bet someone could help you.
