Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not sure where else to post this. This is almost certainly a mistake or something but the Pixar film Inside Out is listed in John Williams's upcoming projects. It has to be a rumor but I'd be fascinated to see what John Williams would do with a Pixar film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't most animation films secure their composer from the beginning, or is that just something unique to John Powell?Most of them do. John Williams scored Adventures of Tintin a few months after Spielberg finished the mo-cap work (and did pickup sessions in mid 2011 to the finished product). Alan Silvestri was secured for Lilo & Stitch way before the finished product was done, although I think he actually started the recording sessions when the film was 95% completed.

filmmusic 1,822 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The fact is that ANYONE can put names in imdb and whatever.Many times people are listed there (i mean famous actors etc) in films that they haven't ever heard of. I have talked with someone and this is usually for publicity and to guide the lights towards that project, gather fundings etc.I mean eg. a totally unknown director who hasn't made a thing, can put a listing there, with Meryl Streep's name for his next project.Although i don't think a pixar film would need any such publicity..

Once 604 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Exactly, Pixar doesn't need such publicity, and if the information isn't coming directly from the studio or producers, it goes through a lot of people before being added to the site.For example will they ask for confirmation, a document or something like it. It's not true that everything gets added randomly, like wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is correct entries about Williams, for example, that you wouldn't find in any other filmography (esp. as far as the early TV stuff is concerned). However, the quality control is often poor. Worse than Wikipedia.But the quality control is very different from a newly added film (as the school-kids-films you mentioned) and a major picture by a major studio. It shouldn't be easy to add John Williams to an upcoming Pixar film without including some evidence. And since there is no active rumour (I can't find anything on Google) there is a slight possibility that this is coming from within the studio.And it's not unusual to hire the composer of an animation feature early on. Thomas Newman said he "had been working on WALL·E since late 2005".I doubt it's true, though. There's just something weird about it. Who would add John Williams - of all people - to this film? As a joke or for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Who would add John Williams - of all people - to this film? As a joke or for whatever reason.People would've said the same about Williams doing a kid's B-movie like SpaceCamp back the in 80s. Actually, when you think about it, he's done a few very obscure, odd-choice films since Star Wars propelled him to super-composerdom. It isn't unheard of.Having said that, I would add my voice to the chorus of doubts here. Unless it's Spielberg or new Star Wars, I wouldn't accept anything without an official announcement or press release.- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once 604 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah, but the control on small short films are almost non-existant. The control is huge on the bigger productions.Anybody with an IMDB profile can add to the site. Usually it takes them 10-14 days to check. If you are a producer or someone involved you can add proof that will speed the process along. But it's not as easy to get through as people seem to believe.

Everything involving editing or adding information is pretty much the same - except you have a bit more credibility at the people proof checking.
