crocodile 8,058 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 True, true. Shore probably did as good as most anyone could have.You know what? I might not have a great love for this music, but there is something about it that sets it apart from most scores today: it sounds like someone. Not MV/RC or JW ripoff. It doesn't really copy anything. It's Howard Shore. Because of this one thing I have tremendous respect for this work.Which doesn't mean I have to listen to it on my knees...Karol - who enjoys Shore's smaller works better (The Aviator and The Fly in particular).

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 This is a lot less surprising than it really ought to be. I think Universal are well informed and have made the best decision for their shareholders. Tintin is a HUGE risk, especially in the current economic climate. I wouldn't be surprised if the project was shelved altogether and the development costs written off. I for one am not exactly gutted at the prospect of the trilogy not happening.

Luke Skywalker 1,807 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 he was on a deadline.I tend to think shore was privileged deadline wise in the LOTR movies.Footage available way before the movie is releases, and time to rescore the expanded editions.He had much time, and he did not do many other projects in those years.

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 You of course failed to take into account the ten months between writing - per film he took out, to bask in his own glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Well, this really sucks. But then again, Star Wars and LotR were both put on hold by most of the major production companies, so maybe that's a sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Some recent news on the project.It seems problems still continue. Wasn't it initially supposed to be ready for a late '09 release? Well now it's '10, and the third film may be be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Pegg + Frost + Jackson + Spielberg = The Thompson Twins A paper here noted that an actor named Mark Ivanir has been cast in a small role as well (He's an Israeli actor, who's had small parts in Schindler's List and The Terminal, as well as The Good Shepherd and tiny a part in Get Smart). Not terribly interesting, however it does seem to imply that the production is gearing up. I'm amazed at how little concrete info there is about what Spielberg is actually directing next.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Apparently, John Williams is going to score Spielberg's "Tintin". A poster of plamountain.net said this: "When I met him this year, I asked him if he was going to score "Tintin" and he told me that he would really like to and that Spielberg had already shown him some test footage. I would actually be more surprised if he didn't score Spielberg's entry in this."Posted by whtsharky2k here: http://playmountain.net/forum/index.php?PH...mp;topic=1365.0I really hope de does.If he is going to score it, what would you think the main theme would sound like? Something in the style of "Raiders March", combined with "Back to the Future Theme" and "The Tale of Viktor Navorsky" would be really awesome. Williams needs to compose a new heroic theme!

TownerFan 4,991 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 According to ComingSoon.net, principal photography of the first installment of Tintin starts this week.The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn is directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Jamie Bell as Tintin and Daniel Craig as Red Rackham. Other cast members include Andy Serkis, Toby Jones, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.The film will be released in 2011. Start counting the days for this next Williams score, fellows... even though probably we'll get Lincoln sooner than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie 45 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 You never know, presuming this happens, Williams could return somewhat to his Catch Me If You Can sound; you know, instead of a typical rousing fanfare, explore that sinister, mysterious jazzy sound, maybe with a flute/piccolo lead melody sort of emulating Tintin's whistling or something, none of that trumpet/horn bombast.
