The main theme is incredible... in the main title sequence of each movie. Did Newborn work it into the underscore?

Fathom Entertainment has announced its Big Screen Classics series of titles for summer and fall 2025, with films celebrating major anniversaries “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” “Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago – the Ultimate Director’s Cut,” “Clueless” as part of its 30th anniversary, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” for its 50th, “The Sound of Music” for its 60th, “Sunset Boulevard” for its 75th.

Amazon MGM Plans ‘Fresh, Exotic New’ James Bond Movie That’s ‘Getting Started’ Now in London

That's literally what he did.

The ending of the full piece with the old theme coming back is fun. They should use it for the season finale this weekend

Woah! Tapia de Veers has quit the show over creative differences with Mike White! https://www.stereogum.com/2302789/white-lotus-composer-quits-over-creative-differences-talks-tension-with-mike-white-and-fan-outrage-over-new-theme/news/ And all the talk about the new season 3 theme being too different from the others? It included the familiar melody as recorded, but Mike White took that part out!

Thank you to La-La Land Records for making this release happen! I hope everyone enjoys the gorgeous presentation that Stéphane put together, and the beautiful mastering from Maxime that preserves the original intent of the score and gives it new life. I had such an amazing time talking with both Hans and Lisa for the liner notes. They shine some amazing insight into how this iconic score came together, and I just wanted their voices to shine through as they reflect back 25-years to how their score came together. I hope everyone enjoys the notes, they are beefy, but I think the story of how Gladiator came to be needed to be covered in as much detail as possible, and I wanted to make sure both Hans and Lisa had the space to speak about their work. This film came out when I was 13. Just 4 years prior I was a 9-year old discovering some cassette of the score to The Rock. By this age I was looking for that "Zimmer" name on CD covers specifically. This score only furthered my obsession of how music and imagery work together to tell a story. So, it was truly an honor to get to preserve the behind the scenes stories with this album. Thank you Michael and Matt for shepherding this release. Thank you to Dan for the gorgeous art direction. But thank you to Hans and Lisa, and everyone else who touched the score to help bring Maximus home in a score that is equal parts brutal, heroic, heartbreaking, elegant, gorgeous, and deeply moving. I hope everyone enjoys the release and enjoys the exclusive liners whether you're revisiting or discovering for the first time. This is a limited edition of only 3500 copies, so don't sit on grabbing yours! #gladiator #25thanniversary #ridleyscott #hanszimmer #lisagerrard #lalalandrecords #soundtrack #strengthandhonor https://www.facebook.com/kayasavas/posts/pfbid022zKP5pPio5iPoLoNs3C7hVb84WyL2NjBZSNeJzWznNcYy9ogUfaQpaXUCgp9hURml

It just got a US distributor - Veritical is releasing the film on August 22nd here. https://deadline.com/2025/04/ron-howard-eden-vertical-acquisition-united-states-august-22-theatrical-release-sydney-sweeney-jude-law-1236357520/ I'd expect the score album to drop the same day

It's basically the last major Wii U first party exclusive that hasn't come to Switch yet, more or less. Great that it's finally happening; The physical edition will eventually become super rare, as most post-launch-of-the-next-console games always are (Look at the prices of the 2017-2018 3DS releases already!)

Final trailer

First time I'm hearing of this movie Sketch staring Tony Hale and D'Arcy Carden, sounds intriguing

Huh? Yoshi's Woolly World is a Wii U game. Are you thinking of Yoshi's Crafted World?

Wow, that's quite a collection of positive reviews. Maybe this thing will actually be good.

Oops! The Direct accidentally revealed that a port of Yoshi's Woolly World is coming to Switch 1

So are any JWFanners meeting up in LA tonight or later this week?

He didn't cancel anything in Q3 2025, because he was never scheduled to be at anything in Q3 2025 The only things he was once announced as attending, but then didn't, are entirely in Q3 2024 -> Q2 2025. 2025-04-04 Los Angeles, CA - curator only 2025-04-03 Los Angeles, CA - conductor 2025-02-25 Miami, FL - special guest only 2024-12-07, 08 Vienna, Austria - conductor 2024-10-25 Los Angeles, CA - curator only 2024-10-22 Chicago, IL - conductor 2024-08-06 Lenox, MA - conductor 2024-08-02, 03 Lenox, MA - conductor 2024-07-12, 13, 14 Los Angeles, CA - conductor There are Tanglewood concerts coming up in Q3 2025, including the premiere of his new Piano Concerto, but he was never announced as conducting or even appearing at those. (I hope he does attend!) 2025-08-09 Lenox, MA - Tanglewood | Performance Details 2025-07-26 Lenox, MA - Tanglewood | Performance Details It's still officially unknown if he'll still conduct the June Berlin concert as announced or not, but that's still in Q2 2025 anyway. This resource has the dates and info for all his appearances from 2021-present: https://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/33860-find-a-thread-information-catalog-all-upcoming-recent-john-williams-works-concerts/ Also.... this film is releasing in June 2026. It is not likely that its score would be recorded in Q3 2025, considering it is Q2 2025 right now, and the movie is still being filmed! Spielberg will probably have a rough cut sometime this fall, the score will be composed in the fall/winter, and the score will probably be recorded in early 2026.
