John Williams: "Steven Spielberg and I will be doing another film shortly."

[indy4 155]

From the interview on the main page:

I just completed the work on the film Lincoln, which is being directed by Steven Spielberg, and Daniel Day-Lewis portrays Lincoln in the film. The script is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book, Team of Rivals, and the screenplay is written by Tony Kushner. It will be opening at the end of this year. Steven Spielberg and I will be doing another film shortly.

What could the new film be? Maybe the Moses biopic, seeing as Robopocalypse has been pushed back to 2014?

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

I hope it's a sequel to The Terminal.

[Jilal 569]

The Airplane.

[MrJosh 892]

Munich 2: The Great Adventure

[Neimoidian 14]

Or Empire of the Sun II - a J.G. Ballard biopic, of course starring Ch. Bale.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[MrJosh 892]

What I really want : Hook II: Smee's Revenge.

[SF1_freeze 131]

It will clearly be Robopocalypse. I think shooting will start at the end of the year or early next year, considering Steven Spielberg said in an interview something about camera tests in September. The effect work will take a year at least and nobody says that they can't be finished with the film well before the release date.

I expect the JW score to be recorded probably in spring 2013 or a bit later if the shooting starts in 2013.

[MrJosh 892]

I'm happy he isn't retiring after Lincoln.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

Yeah, gotta be Robopocalypse. Glad to hear JW's already planning on it.

[King Mark 3,626]

Only the grim reaper can stop JW

I'm not worried that he will retire, he seems unable to stop composing music

That said Robocopalypse sounds like it could be really cool. I'm glad it;s not another historical drama, biography or a comedy of some sort

[Marian Schedenig 8,175]

John Williams: "Steven Spielberg and I will be doing another film shortly."

And there was much rejoicing.

[Faleel 5,340]

as if thousands of voices shouted out in joy, and were never silenced.

[Quintus 5,399]

Only the grim reaper can stop JW

Stay classy.

My big wish for JW and Spielberg would be that they somehow manage to do Interstellar and/or the Moses(Biopick). They would present the best opportunities for another masterpiece score.

Nevertheless i am absolutely looking forward to Robopocalypse. The deciding factor will be the apporach they take.

Will the scoring be darker and a bit more restrained like in the style of Minority Report or rather epic like a Starwars prequel score. Another question mark is if they decide to have themes for every story section (which would be better) or approach it in a rather monothematic way.

Williams always does great source music. He has many electronic/futuristic opportunities for that here too.

I have a strong hunch Williams will stay away from the things he calls "post modern sound sources" if he is going to have any futuristic material to score.

Then his son will compose those like in AI or even another composer like Haslinger in Minority Report with the "Ad Mall" and "Cyber Parlour".

Most likely.

[SF1_freeze 131]

Even though Haslinger is Austrian like me i cannot say something nice about him and i regret calling him a composer. He certainly doesn't earn the term composer . I got a headache from his noise during the "Three Musketeers", a film i regret having seen in cinema. Wasted money, wasted time and insulted ears...

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Paul Haslinger did those source cues in Minority Report? Interesting...

I like his score for Shoot 'Em Up.

[Jilal 569]

This is going to be great.

[crocodile 7,988]

Schindler's Lust, perhaps? He had quite a colourful life even after the events portrayed in the 1993 film.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Lincopocalypse would be far more interesting.

[chuck 154]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: a remake.

[Jilal 569]

Robopocalypse (God, what an awful name) is sheduled for a July 2013 release.

[indy4 155]

It's definately Robopocalypse (God, what an awful name), since that's sheduled for a July 2013 release date.

It was pushed back to 2014 (I think in April?)

Finally Jurassic Park 4 is getting somewhere.

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

it would be a shock if it was revealed so.

A good shock if you ask me. JP rules

[Jay 37,312]

So what film was JW talking about here? hmmm.

[Uni 306]

Wow. I'm surprised you of all people hadn't heard yet.

Now that Abrams has moved on to Star Wars, Spielberg is set to produce and direct a new Star Trek/Avengers crossover (to be released in late 2014).

[TownerFan 4,983]

So what film was JW talking about here? hmmm.

I guess he was probably referring to Robopocalypse, which was originally set to beging shooting in late '12.

[Jay 37,312]

It had already been pushed back to 2014 by then, though.

[Marian Schedenig 8,175]

He might just have been speaking from experience. You could argue that, on average, they have always been doing another film "shortly" for the past 40 years.
