Columbus is a strange choice considering he’s not really done anything of note for a long, long time. Percy Jackson, Pixels and The Christmas Chronicles 2 in the last 14 years!
-
Amblin being involved could be good news if they wanted to try and get JW.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Score in the film) - SPOILERS ALLOWED!
Alex replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I have just released that 2.15-2.24 of Indy Driver is is basically 3.21-3.31 of Anderton’s Great Escape. Johnny must have been studying his Minority Report score. -
John Williams on Variety Cover (article & video)
Alex replied to JNHFan2000's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
“I have the time I need to finish this concerto, and I will begin to have some free time later this year. If there’s an opportunity there that I think I can fill and enjoy doing with people I will enjoy, I see no reason not to do it.” Well, I hope there are some directors reading this. -
I assume Homelander will get away with everything… again 😅

New 20 minute audio interview: John Williams At The Movies
Alex replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
The snapping snare drum and the rendition of the new Nazi motif on trumpet in “Combat Training” sounds like something JW would put in a concert arrangement. -
Yeah sorry I was thinking of something else

Should have asked him if Bill Ross wrote the second part of the chase 😅 -
New 20 minute audio interview: John Williams At The Movies
Alex replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Always good to hear an JW interview with some stimulating questions. The part regarding the Tuk Tuk chase was interesting. -
I already have that on my forehead

I’ve been wanting a JW related one for a while but I’ve never been able to find a design, nor am I creative enough to design one myself.
-
That is awesome. Question: Do you have your original design for this in a digital format?

Something random I came across very recently. I was reading Alan Rickman’s diaries and it appears he was a friend of Michael Kamen’s, as he’s mentioned various times. It appears they socialised a lot. I won’t spoil it for anyone who wants to read the diaries but there is an amusing description of Kamen a month before his death. Incidentally, Rickman seems to have also socialised with Gabriel Yared and Patrick Doyle.

Would love to see the set of the chamber itself in a Del Toro directed CoS.

People saying Pemberton has been hard done by, fair enough. Across the Spider-Verse is much more listenable than than the first one. But in my opinion, that’s all it is. It’s like Barbie in a way. It’s fine, but should it be in an awards conversation? No way. Incidentally I think his work on Enola Holmes is much more interesting. It is quite difficult to compare DoD to the other nominations because simply put, there is nothing in the other scores that even comes close to the complexities of structure and orchestration of DoD. JW is just simply from another era and his process is just so different. To semi-quote Alan Partridge: “Give him another Oscar you shits!”
-
I think Del Toro would have been a good choice for GOF as well. They should have broken the bank to bring back Cuáron back for HBP.

Came across this on Twitter/X: https://x.com/pureevilbich/status/1750168797065941049?s=46&t=qD_26VYTJS4cdEm47c4eUg Apparently McQuarrie told this story on a podcast (not sure if this was recently or when they were promoting Rogue Nation). EDIT: Not sure how to embed the tweet, so I’ve attached the picture from the original post.

The Dial of Destiny Appreciation Thread
Alex replied to Jurassic Shark's topic in General Discussion
Ken Huy Quan went back to acting too late. If he’d only gone back a few years earlier, we could have potentially had a very different DoD. -
People can save this post and remind me about it when he completes a two hour score for the Rey movie, but I very much doubt JW scores another movie again. (I probably said this after TROS as well)
