Is anyone prepared to put money on the possibility that this is SCHINDLER'S LIST, and that the "special charity' will be the Shoah Foundation?
When is Holocaust Memorial Day, chaps?

Like this post if you want JW to do a cameo for SW Ep. IX.
 
EDIT: By popular demand, here's the real petition. Spread the good word!
 
EDIT: We've just passed 1200 signatures!

It could be a fundraiser for MV Gerhard possibly?  That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I read it.
 
 

And you don't think LLL/MM is already working on what they can come out with next?  Wouldn't make much business-sense to not already be working on the next batch(es) of JW/SS release(s). 
 
My vote was for Amistad, due to what I've read on the boards regarding the amount of unreleased material.  Plus I was very impressed with the rerecording of Dry Your Tears, Africa on the collaboration album, as it renewed my interest in the score.  Hope it did for JW as well and it's in the works!
 
I wonder after recording Marion's Theme, he would like to have the Indy series revisited as well?
 
Besides the obvious choice of an Indy C&C set release, I would have Amistad, Schindler's List, Minority Report, and WotW in my most-wanted.  I've heard the session leaks for MR & WotW and would love to get a LLL/MM treatment of these in the near future.

I'm gonna get The Papers, get The Papers.

Welp... 
 
Count me in the minority on this one, was wanting MG to score this movie as well.  I was extremely happy with his RO score and wanted to hear more from him and the possibilities of expanding on themes from RO.  Nothing against Powell, I'm just not as familiar with his works.

Lest we forget he also did a small bit in the Bastard Executioner a few years ago.

A book NOT talking about music that is not even released doesn't reduce the chances of expanded or rarity releases one iota. You think if the music isn't written about, it won't get released? Come on, you don't believe that! The desire for additional music has been known ever since the Film version of AUJ turned out to be so messy. I don't think people in charge are buffoons who don't know that interest exists. It doesn't need a book Release to see that.
 
I also don't think that the book release is so far away. I would venture a guess and say within the next 1,5 years.
 
I would like to add that you get your hopes up way too easily. All Doug said was that he hopes the book would have a positive effect on whether complete releases will be produced. You are concluding that by the time we have the book, or shortly thereafter, we would have officially released music, or even a "Read Along" release. At no point was this ever said or hinted at.
 
You know what would be ideal? Releasing the book AFTER we have expanded releases. The LotR book was postponed forever, also for some odd legal reasons, but also because the CRs were on the horizon, and the book then followed them along, and was therefor released in conformed form afterwards, or together with RotK, because it was intended as companion to those CRs.
 
I don't know about the details, but I'd say the Hobbit book is released in the immediate future, whatever that may be exactly, because expanded releases are NOT on the horizon anywhere, so it doesn't make sense holding it off, and Doug is covering the complete expanded score in the hope that eventual releases don't deviate too much from it.

It's almost as if someone thought that writing about the complete scores would help reinforce their commercial viability, thus paving the road to potential future releases. What madness! 
 
 

That's not the actual cover. I always use temp covers when I write. Not sure why. It helps with mood, I guess.
 
And yes, the book follows the complete Extended Scores ... and in the order and structure of the original fully orchestrated compositions (meaning the first fully realized draft before filmmaker conformations).

Anyone notice this in one of Doug's replies?  
 
A very small teaser but it's better than nothing!  Here's hoping the ball has started rolling again on this project.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't care.  I thoroughly enjoyed Gia's Rogue One score, especially considering the time-crunch he was under to make it happen.  And after watching this video, my appreciation for the score has increased!
