Now this is a poster. Officially released in the Star Trek app.

Up has my favorite Giacchino action theme/motif:

Basically, I want Williams to score blockbuster type films again
Any new score by Williams is still anticipated, but I'm tired of his historical drama thing because it leads typically with only a few standout cues on the album

I kinda can't wrap my head around the idea of Williams scoring a Bradley Cooper movie.
I think many of us were hoping for all these other projects Spielberg has abandoned, which could have made for good Williams scores. There was a sci-fi one, pirates, robowhatever and even a biblical picture. Of course, he ends up doing a Bradley Cooper drama.

Sorry for being late to the party, but I thought I'd just chip in for a bit (nothing much grant you).
I've always stood by the idea that John Williams' music makes Star Wars, Even when he pushed the prequels ahead in a new direction in sound, his music is a huge part of retaining some form of the original spirit of Star Wars (however little it was present in the trilogy). If this new film was scored without John Williams, I'd honestly think it'd just seem like another Abrahms Star Trek film. Williams' music and sound is so incredibly important.
As much as I'd like the maestro to explore other genres he has yet to score like a blblical film (this is why I wanted the Moses film project to lift off), I'm incredibly excited for this. Williams already took The Phantom Menace to bold exciting new sounds. Imagine Williams working with new blood for the first time in a decade! The possibilities are endless and I can't wait to hear the potential results!

Probably old, but it amused me.

but Star Wars has the Millenium Falcon and star destroyers,

I understand it was something the Fleischer cartoons started to prop sprites when the gloom of war was hitting American shores. And I don't disagree it was a vital part of the character for a long time.
However, if you've picked up a comic anytime in the past twenty years, you would realize that Superman isn't so undeveloped as he was. Since the end of the Cold War, writers have taken the opportunity to explore different aspects of Superman and explore the fact that he is an alien, and one who doesn't always agree with the way that humans act. As previously mentioned, there was even a story where Big Blue abdicated his citizenship which caused quite a controversy but did enable some new insights from a character that is over seventy years old.
The simple fact is, Superman has by and large been portrayed as a defender of America, but in actuality he is a defender of all mankind. We've had plenty of examples of his pride in his home country over the years, but quite honestly I hope that's all left out of the new film. A scene where maybe he straightens the flag would be nice, but something as blatant as the end of Superman 2 would seem insincere in this day and age. That kind of display is out of touch with the way the world is now, and not concurrent with the character at this point.
During WW2, the phrase "truth, justice, and the American way" was created as a rallying cry to unite Americans. With the current landscape of the world, a world which is smaller than its ever been, Superman can be used to unite all mankind and portray how great humans of all nationalities can be, not just as some sort of inclusive cheer which it has become over the years. If the filmmakers attempt to tackle such a subject I would be incredibly pleased and it honestly seems like the next logical step for the character to take on the big screen.

What if I'm singing underwater? The enclosed acoustics would suggest dry, but . . . y'know. . . .

It was more than a risk. You just went ahead and exposed your ignorance for everyone to see. Wow.
Well, now I can go ahead and thank you for doing so . . . because I've been wondering for quite some time now what the HELL the difference is between the whole "wet" and "dry" recording thing. (Yup.) I just never got around to asking. Now I get it!
So thanks!

I don't think we should read too much between the lines on this. As I see it, it's plain and simple, just like it seems: they're waiting for JW to say "yes". And they're confident he will.
I'm sure you all know how much working relationships are a main thing in Hollywood. Giacchino and Abrams share an exclusive relationship based on mutual respect and admiration and they appears also to be good friends (i.e. it's not just work). They both reached high level of power and success working together, so it's pretty natural for both to speak high of each other in public. They both know how much one owes to the other (in the best sense).
Now, since Abrams has to work on a franchise with a more than estabilished musical identity (i.e.: it's one of the major things that makes Star Wars what it really is) and the fact its composer is still alive and kicking, I see quite natural they want to give him first option. Well, they MUST give him first option, as I see it. John Williams is Star Wars, as much as Lucas, Ford, Hamill, Fisher, Burtt and all the others who created it are. As I said before, nobody in the world would take the job out of his hands just because the chosen director has an ongoing working relationship with another composer. Also, as much as Abrams is fond of Giacchino and his music, I think he would be more than happy if JW ends up writing music for a film he's directing. For any director, it's like winning the lottery!

I'm Daniel Day-Lewis and I approve this message.

Worst cover art in the history of film score music?

Well... what if a dead underwater creature's body washed ashore on a beach? Wouldn't that attract mosquitos and other insects that could then fly off it and then get stuck in the sap of a nearby tree? That to me was the most plausible way to acquire aquatic creature DNA in the realm of this story. For the record, the Crichton novels never featured any aquatic creatures. However, the recent game did, and in it's story had a completely enclosed underwater Jaws 3-esque enclosure.

The last decade of film:


Oh man, I almost forgot. Inside a government/corporate/jail/industrial building?

BLUE GREEN AMBIANCE!
So artistic.

Not to be an arrogant bastard, but I like my poster better.
