My copy is actually ahead of schedule. MovieMusic updated their shipping date from July 31 to July 17!

It also proves that young directors don't need Nolan.

Oh no! I've offended AI! Years from now, when all that's keeping me alive is some sort of AI life-support, it will get its revenge...

Maybe williams did not want to commit so much time for one film in the peak (well… more like a mesa) of his career (he did it in the star wars sequels, but he was half retired and with very films scheduled)

We told you!

James Cameron's difficult reputation and the bad press around Titanic might have also been factors.

Kingdom of Heaven Director’s Cut. Finally got around to the 4k release. The theatrical is a travesty but this is amazing. Probably Scott’s last truly great film.

He didn't even need AI to come up with it! Brilliant!

Don't question Nolan in his own house. It's a genius statement.

I wonder why Williams was only "kinda" interested, and didn't see it as a golden opportunity... Just too busy? This rumor has been slowly gaining traction over the past 21 years. lol

Its all done with computers anyway.

Fighting the Commies!

Cold War stuff. Cold War stuff. Cinema, who received many classics directly (Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Platoon and, yes, Tropic Thunder ) or indirectly (Return of the Jedi) referencing the conflict! Would you be willing to watch a 40-minute YouTube video about it? It's shorter than a movie and will give you the answers to your questions:

Thank god we had Obsession and Backrooms to prove us that, else everyone would think they need AI to make movies.

From John Williams: A Composer's Life:

AI has its uses like any other tool. Just don't use it as a shortcut to make your movie.

Perhaps the greatest race since the heyday of Blue Bonnets... And it's Mr. Hooper and his Thoroughbred Mary Ellen Moffat ahead by a nose, with Bespin Copilot and Foxfan in hot pursuit!

Based on my knowledge of the animated film and listening to the new score, the score tracks are in order. It's just that the songs aren't sequenced that way. About the mysic itself, I enjoyed it. Like you said, it's sort of a complete rehash of the animated one with just a few changes here or there. When comparing it to Menken's Beauty And The Beast & Powell's HTTYD scores for their live action counterparts it pales a bit. I consider those the gold standard in this thing. This one is more in line with Zimmer's The Lion King. Same score, slightly different sound, orchestrations and some added things here and there. Like I said, the music is nice, so I can't really fault it on that level. Mancina did was what asked of him.

I'm picturing Grace Jones showing up at Studio 54 dressed like this.

Amazon finally shipped my copy of vol 3

Mine ain't here yet either

Huh, so Williams' agency did what an agency should do: get their artists the best and juiciest projects for them to work on. However, had Cameron manifested interest in having Williams on board (pun intended), would Williams want to do it? I guess they'd have a few meetings to discuss the movie and the music it would need, but still, even if Cameron wanted Williams, I'm not sure if Williams would've gone forward. Cameron is an incredibly difficult director to work with, he demands lots of music and lots and lots of rewrites, while Williams is incredibly protective of his own work.

Have never seen this TV series Tour of Duty! (thank heavens for Google lens for identifying what it was). Has anyone seen it? Is it good? One thing of note I see, is that the US DVDs don't retain the original songs in the soundtrack while the UK PAL ones, do. EDIT: Also, I'd like to take this moment and say this: While I've seen many Vietnam movies, I still haven't understood why there was a war going on there, between whom, why the Americans joined in, and who won! I guess I'm too bored to read about it!

Yes. But they couldn't handle the truth.
