Giftheck 916 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm glad they didn't put the board offline again Some forums shut themselves off for the day and opened up 4chan-style message boards instead. Granted that would have been old (to me) but it would have been better. Maybe next year we can get a better April Fools thing - as I said, I don't see the faux-Prequel scores announcement being topped any time soon.

Marian Schedenig 8,206 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Logical. Zimmer has experience writing for animated movies, he even won an Oscar for it. All Williams has to offer in the area is some goofy temporary music to be replaced by a march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,044 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well, he's sort of slipped into a de facto form of partial retirement from scoring films, filmmusic. He went three years without doing a film score, then did KOTCS, then went another three years before War Horse and Tin Tin. My guess is that he'll continue to score Spielberg films as long as he can - and he'll of course keep writing concert works and stuff that never makes it out of his house or studio - but that's probably about it.

Ollie 1,059 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sorry guys & gals, you can blame this year's "joke" on me.Unfortunately the article was the rough draft I typed up last week and I never got around to proofing it or changing Alan Smithee's name. However Ricard liked it and did kindly fix the errors within the article.I had originally had Zimmer re-scoring portions of Tintin due to the film not testing well among studio heads but Marc thought the producing angle would be even more confusing so I went with that.The board going down wasn't an April Fools joke, unless someone else knows something I don't.
