Hello ! Lucasfilm cut some questions I’m afraid, but I can summarise a couple of anecdotes: There won’t be a physical media release due to the costs involved in licensing the clips and the music cues. As you’ll hear during the interview there were 1 or 2 pieces which Laurent really wanted to license for the documentary, but his lawyers couldn’t get approval. Likewise, the many hours of footage and interviews filmed would need music and film clips, so even if these were released digitally Laurent wouldn’t want them used unless they had the audio and visual coupling inserted to add the context. Regarding the question about working with JW and talking about retrospective scores, off camera Laurent would often be politely requested to not talk about his older scores because JW doesn’t like looking backwards. That would be a challenge for LB’s line of work, but that’s his skill at being able to make JW feel comfortable and relaxed enough to look back when the camera is turned on. Some of you might be interested to see this video introduction from last year. The new audio interview is published in the latest FSMO.

Thank you all for these. The interview will be published at FSMO next week and I’ll follow up on some of your ?s.

😳I can’t unsee this! Thank you 🫣

Ok thank you for (most of) these suggestions.

Oh? Weird! I meant: tburden@filmscoremonthly.com

Hi Slither! Likewise sorry your messages were missed. Thanks for supporting the website! You can email me directly here if you need any further information.

If you would like to ask Laurent anything about John Williams please post here and I’ll ask on your behalf for an FSMO interview.

Just posting this here too in case it’s of interest to any JWFanners: https://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/37693-intrada’s-jaws-3cd-and-printed-jw-signature-package-limited-to-20-copies/

Just a heads up that Mike Matessino will be personally introducing a previously unheard cue on RTE LyricFM this Saturday from 1pm. https://www.rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/movies-and-musicals/

The great Jon Rand! A voice artist friend: https://randmade.co.uk/

Right? Give the audience what they want! :-)

After the full performance (bearing in mind there was no intermission) he was visibly exhausted if you watch the behind the scenes featurette.

Click bait sentence a go go: “Williams takes over, leaving Andre struggling to control the conversation…” Nonsense, as Previn is the one that correctly reminds Williams that Jaws has symphonic merit ahead of Star Wars.

There’s also a short clip from the 1984 Jonathan King interview recorded in Boston for BBC which is from source elements by the looks of it.

Thanks for posting this, other than the dodgy inaccurate script (Williams decided to take a break from film music when KOTCS wasn’t Oscar nominated?!?! 😳🤦‍♂️😆) and the ridiculous jazz saxophonist confusion, there are some interesting photos and archival interviews from UK tv (1996 / 98). It’s also good to see some professionally filmed footage from the Barbican LSO concert rehearsals at long last. Happy memories!
