Because ILM went off the boil a while back.

Williams wrote this lenghty concert piece for Tintin's theme, which was big, bold and bombastic, but we thought it didn't fit the character, so we decided to scrap that version, and we ended up with the jazzy one that is in the film.

:blink:

Word is it was a masterpiece, but if it don't fit it don't fit.

For real? it doesnt sound like spielberg for some reason...

EDIT: all it says is: "The final critical element was the score by legendary composer and longtime Spielberg collaborator John Williams. "John is the bonding agent that unifies all the disparate, eclectic elements of a movie, and his unifications are what makes John a genius and what makes all of us who work with him so grateful for him," Spielberg marvels"

Faleel, Spielberg is known for his brutality when reviewing completed cues from Williams. This Tintin piece is just another casualty of the Spielberg film making process, like the swiftly exercised choral arrangement of the Raiders March in KotCS.

I have heard Spielburg talk about Williams music before, and replacing it, and he almost never sounds like that.

Even Spielberg can have a temper, if his collaborators aren't on his wavelength. Dan Aykroyd went into detail about it in his controversial biography, 1941: The Bearded Ego and Me.

:rolleyes:

Oh BloodBoal you are such a rascal! Where would this MB be without your heart stopping trickstery? :lol:

Although I have come to expect shenanigans from you so I did not fall for this one.

Good read.

Still doesn't fully explain why Spielberg went to WETA instead of ILM.

I know you wrote this so i would jump on it...

But really, a little brainwork would have had the answer for you ;)

1st, Peter jackson is producing it.

2nd, They finally settled to make the film because cameron showed them what he was doing in Avatar.

It's like if Spielberg had used another SFX company for Raiders, having george lucas as a producer. it does not make ANY sense.

Simple enough?

For the critical role of Snowy, they did what Jackson had long ago impressed Spielberg with-a fully animated dog

Really, i mean, really :rolleyes:

;)

Humor. A difficult concept.

Indeed

Has there been any quotes or articles where Jackon discusses the score? I haven't seen anything and I'm interest to see what his reactions were to working with Williams. Given his love of music and Spielberg that must have been a dream come true for him.
