Matt C 452 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm pissed that they didn't discuss one thing about HP7's score - for either parts! Now, Desplat won't be included in the Ultimate Editions! Unfair to him, I say.He could be featured in the Part 7 and 8 documentaries ("Harry Potter Grows Up" and "The Harry Potter Phenomenon", which could cover a wide variety of subjects production-wise). But considering Desplat accepted the job in January of this year, I'm surprised they didn't interview him. Maybe he'll be featured in the special features on the DH DVD/BD release (the regular edition). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compos24 0 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, I realize that. But, it sucks for him to not be featured on the "Sound and Music" portion of the documentary.I was basically hoping for a small sneak peek. Greedy fan, I am.

King Mark 3,624 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm quite sure JW won't return for Part II. The schedule overlaps too much with War HorseWasn't it announced not long ago that War Horse won't even be released now until December of next year? That should give him a lot more time, then.

In the case of War Horse, it's just distribution strategy: Disney moved the release in December because they probably want to push it for the awards season, but it's likely the film will be locked much earlier.

Gurkensalat 336 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 It seems, that in the liner notes of Deathly Hallows 1 soundtrack, Yates writes that he offered Desplat part 2. So, not much chance for John William, sadly. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the fact that it's not John Williams?However, a potential problem is that WB will want any Williams expansions to sell to more than just us few thousand score nuts, so I'd bet money that we won't get anything resembling sessions. Combine that with a composer who's not exactly falling over himself to release full scores, and yep, we're damn lucky to have these sessions leak.

Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 hire Trevor Rabin for the last.What a brilliant idea! #Owner of a lonely wand, (much better than a) Owner of a broken wand# If J.W. scores "D.H." pt2, then it might make a nice early Christmas present. Personally, I couldn't give a toss. IMO the series died the day Mike Newell said "no" to J.W. scoring "GOF". Nick Hoper has given us some good music, and I have no doubt that Desplat will do the same, but IT IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT J.W! I hope that Desplat finishes what he starts, and scores pt2, but I don't think he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 When a deluxe HP is released I would imagine cues will be combined so we're not stuck with an album that has 70 1:00 to 2:00 minute cues.Warner Bros seems to get it as far as expanded releases go, one has to look to LaLaLand and FSM, as well as the LOTR sets.

It's been pointlessly dragging itself out for years. Geez.It's been dragging, sure, but *pointlessly*? There have some very valid implications made over the years by people like Heyman, Hooper and Williams himself that Williams could be returning to the franchise.I'm I the only one who - based on this - doesn't find it strange at all that Williams fans would be discussing this possibility? Some people should really stop taking the moral high ground here, cause it's getting frickin' annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have some very valid implications made over the years by people like Heyman, Hooper and Williams himself that Williams could be returning to the franchise.I've mostly seen polite and non-commital comments by these people. Nothing substantial. And yet every few months, debate starts raging again that Williams could just be returning for the next film, because so-and-so asked so-and-so and they said if Williams wanted to return he might just be able to and blah blah blah.You try reading this waffle for five years and not get tired of it.

Just saying it wasn't *pointless* to speculate about it based on the things said. There is a general consensus that Williams was 'just being polite', but that's not factual. Certainly have never heard Williams expressing a desire to score another Superman or Jaws film 'out of politeness'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Thinking about it, it is very odd that I, not being a die hard Williams fan, have to defend the desire to bring Williams back for the conclusion of a series that he started with a classic, on a John Williams fan board.Would it have been announced 10 year back that Williams wouldn't do the sequel to Jurassic Park, I don't think I would have been told to "get over it".
