pete 907 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Quote inspired by John Lennon’s & Yoko Ono’s song Happy Xmas (War Is Over) and centers on a chess game played across enemy lines with the help of a heroic carrier pigeon. Lennon & Ono also serve as executive producers and ElectroLeague CEO Brad Booker is producing the project What? He's alive? Oh I think they probably mean one of his sons.

Jay 37,369 Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 It was a typo on FMR's website. They've fixed it now to this: Ono also serves as executive producer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Thomas is doing his part to keep the Newman dinasty strong. http://filmmusicreporter.com/2023/12/22/fxs-feud-capote-vs-the-swans-to-feature-theme-by-thomas-newman-and-score-by-julia-newman/ Mr. Who 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 2,966 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I just noticed that Newman is credited on both Wikipedia & IMDB as the composer of Yorgos Lanthimos' new film Kinds Of Kindness. Has this been known for a while, because I missed an announcement. Or is it just speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been known since it appeared here in 2023: https://www.gsamusic.com/wp-content/uploads/Newman_Tom.pdf (The film's been retitled from "And" to "Kind of Kindness" since then) JNHFan2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After POOR THINGS being such a success at the Oscars (and financially), maybe Lanthimos will stay with Jerskin Fendrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there confirmation? Not sure if we might get a third film from Tom this year along with White Bird. Wonder if this was the reason he didn’t continue with Kinds of Kindness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 2,966 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 He didn't continue with Kinds Of Kindess because Lanthimos chose to use his previous composer. That's it. JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwg24 2 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Maybe it’s an April Fool’s Joke… But IMDB is showing Thomas Newman as composer for an upcoming documentary called TIGER https://m.imdb.com/title/tt31497750/?ref_=nm_flmg_unrel_1_com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll certainly take more Indian-flavoured Newman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quppa 117 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The director has previously worked with Ramin Djawadi (Elephant) and Harry Gregson-Williams (Penguins, Monkey Kingdom) so it's not implausible - Disney isn't skimping on the music budget, at least. If it does happen it will be a good excuse for Jon Burlingame to invite Newman back on his For Scores podcast. White Bird feels so far away, and even considering the Hollywood strike the release schedule is bizarre. Why release it only in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia in January and then sit on it for 10 months? Just delay it everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good there’s a possibility it could be accurate and we get a new TN score at the end of this month. White Bird baffles me so much, it’s the worst release schedule plan. So many countries have had it released yet no score release yet. The late October date for the USA and nothing yet for the UK is a strange one.

cwg24 2 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 https://filmstories.co.uk/news/in-the-blink-of-an-eye-digging-into-wall-e-director-andrew-stantons-ambitious-upcoming-sci-fi/ Really interesting article about Newman’s next film. Seems really suited to his strengths, especially the lack of dialogue in places and the description of the tone of the end of the script. A nice read… Tom Guernsey and Thor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,512 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Although I'm not as big a fan of his WALL-E score as everyone else (although I adore the film), and thought PASSENGERS only had moments of brilliance, I'm still excited to hear more sci fi Newman.

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Wall-E is a beautiful score but with an album that would've benefitted from a little bit of trimming. Passengers... hmm. It has bits that work very well on album but it's largely a background thing for me. Also messes with chronology in a way that bizarrely loses you narratively but also doesn't seem to me to help with the listening experience either. I'm not sure what Newman was trying to do here.
