Once

I don't think this was meant as a direct reply to my comment, but for what it's worth I completely agree with just about everything you said and I wasn't trying to set any expectations at all. In fact, I've never expected this documentary to be anything in particular - and certainly not an exposé (I wouldn't even be interested in that). I'm just glad it exists. I do however think it would be lovely if this documentary could make casual fans see beyond the franchise and Spielberg scores, that's all. I'm not expecting it to, but it would be nice. Less than a month now! Wish I could see it in the cinema like I did with Ennio.

It would be lovely if this documentary could make the masses see beyond the franchise and Spielberg scores, though. The masses still think Williams only goes big.

This one hurts. I wish I was born earlier so I could've watched more of her stage work. I don't think she got many roles on screen that matched her magnificent acting skills. And I really wish they had filmed the adaptation of A German Life they announced!

That was very beautifully written, @Maestro. I'm sad to hear about Dyer's passing, I've enjoyed so much of his writings throughout the years!

I'm so thrilled to hear this! Cuarón always seems very keen when discussing Williams, but most interviewers move on to others topics. Man, that's a lot of interviews - will you ever publish the full list of names?

I'm curious to know when you first interviewed Williams? As in, how many months or years does the process go back. Also, "175 exclusive interviews" must take a lot of time, did you do them all yourself? I'm just giddy with excitement for this release!

I like a lot of these choices. When such a large part of the cast is bound to be newcomers and unknowns (all the kids) I hope they keep the same approach as the movies did and cast some thespians in the adult roles. They might not be able to match them (like having Oscar winner Julie Christie as... Madam Rosmerta) but with the series format even the small roles could be juicier and there are still a lot of great/big British actors who didn't get a chance to appear (like Helen Mirren said to David Heyman; "only because you never asked!"). Funnily enough I've always thought Miriam Margolyes could make a really sinister Umbridge if she was directed to give a subtle performance. Obviously she had already appeared as Sprout when the fifth book was published.

I've said it too many times now, but I never ever thought a book like this would be released in his lifetime, much less with his cooperation. I've never looked forward to a book more than this one (and I'm an avid reader)!

I'm curious about the length of the doc. I hope it's not too short (although I'd probably find even a 20-hour documentary series too short ).

The Sword in the Stone is a holy grail of mine, would love to see it released!

I'd love to see the spreadsheet too!

That would require for Warner Bros. to start doing soundtrack album licenses again, though.

Sure! I'd love to know if Williams is there in person.
