Jay 37,441 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 On 9/26/2019 at 10:42 PM, Jay said: Quote Shortly after the film was released, there was considerable controversy as regards Tyler Bates's score. It was pointed out that Bates' music heavily borrowed from Elliot Goldenthal's score for Titus (1999). In particular, Bates' "Remember Us" is identical in parts to Goldenthal's "Finale", and "Returns a King" is very similar to "Victorius Titus". There was talk of an impending lawsuit, however, on 3rd August 2007, Warner Bros. Pictures acknowledged on the film's official website, "a number of the music cues for the score of 300 were, without our knowledge or participation, derived from music composed by Academy Award winning composer Elliot Goldenthal for the motion picture Titus. Warner Bros. Pictures has great respect for Elliot, our longtime collaborator, and is pleased to have amicably resolved this matter." As a result, the Blu-ray re-release, titled "300: The Ultimate Experience" features the note "Derived in Part from Preexisting Compositions Not Authored by Tyler Bates" beside the composers credit. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/trivia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,355 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Didn't know that... so Goldenthal just has a beef with WB, not the labels? Or WB just don't want to deal with Goldenthal after the legal issues with Titus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,441 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 WB and Goldenthal don't get along, so no Goldenthal scores to WB films will be expanded while he's alive. Batman Forever was approved before the lawsuit was finalized. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it came out in January 2012 and sold out fairly quickly. It was missing a couple of non-essential bits and few tracks were presented iut of order. Goldenthal collection would be a perfect opportunity to have an upgraded complete presentation. Such a shame. These are absolutely terrific scores.

Popular Post Jay 37,441 Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 The old Indiana Jones films are all owned by Paramount, Disney will potentially never be able to release their own physical editions of the film nor stream them on Disney+; They basically now control the IP meaning only they can make new movies or shows with the character, but they didn't obtain the distribution rights to the existing movies. This is different than Star Wars, because George Lucas had a different deal with Fox for those than he did for Paramount with IJ. So Disney gained the permanent rights to distribute Star Wars movies except ANH (because that one film had a different deal than all the others) when they bought Lucasfilm. Of course Disney later bought Fox anyway so now they own all of Star Wars in its entirety, including all rights to all the scores. With IJ, it's actually still unknown if Paramount would have to sign off on new expanded releases or not; The mechanical rights to release soundtracks now lies with Disney (if you look up any of the releases on digital stores, they are Copyright Lucasfilm and no longer copyright Concord Records), but the creation of a NEW expanded edition MIGHT require Paramount to sign off of music that hasn't been released before. Additionally, the scoring masters all reside in the Paramount vaults, not the Disney vaults, so they'd definitely be involved in some capacity. This is different from Star Wars, where all the scoring masters always existed in Lucasfilm vaults, never Fox vaults.

Corellian2019 386 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Heat is a little tricky. When I pointed out to MV that technically it's now a Fox title since they bought the domestic distribution rights, he responded that since Disney bought Fox, the rights to an expansion might fall within Intrada's territory. Or it could be stuck in that Fox/Disney limbo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,547 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The Paramount logo is an integral part of the openings, though, it's not something that can just be cut off like the Fox Fanfare with SW (which isn't good either, the Main Title was written to follow it), I sure as hell wouldn't give it up in Paramount's place.

Paramount's deal to distribute Marvel's first set of films just had them putting up P&A, as well as picking up a flat distribution fee. They never owned the copyrights, which made it easier for Disney to acquire the remaining rights. Indiana Jones is more complicated. Paramount maintains rights to the first four films, but will have financial participation in Disney-produced sequels that are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that outside of some highlights, a lot of it blends together for me - but I do like listening to it. The moodier stuff more than the actiony stuff. I actually haven't even finished watching X-Files. I got one or two episodes into the last season when it was airing and listed off towards something else. I'll have to pick it back up.
