On 5/24/2016 at 4:08 PM, Jay said: let's use Elfman's Alice Through The Looking Glass OST, also on Disney Records, as our comparison. That OST releases on Friday May 27, the track list appeared on Amazon on Friday May 6, and samples appeared on some European site on Monday May 23. If that pattern repeats for The BFG, Amazon will have the track list on Friday June 10th, and samples will appear randomly on Monday June 27th.

The BFG will be the second Williams score released since I become a serious JW fan. For TFA, I listened to the OST (and FYC, actually) before seeing the film. I found that it was great to already be familiar with the score going in. But this time I think I will try watching the film first (assuming my schedule works out so that I can see the film on the release date or at most one or two days after; I can't wait any longer).

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The second clip here contains a bit of the score. The ending reminds of the more comic-oriented material from Tintin, particularly Tintin Gets the Keys http://theplaylist.net/watch-first-two-clips-steven-spielbergs-bfg-starring-oscar-winner-mark-rylance-20160621/ Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The War Horse-esque opening chords are wonderful. The comedic stuff isn't too noteworthy, although it's good as always from Williams. There is at least one more great warm chord in between the comedic stuff -- more War Horse vibes, which is great because War Horse's score was a masterpiece.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It's all down to personal preference, but for me I always like to hear a Williams score in the film before listening to the soundtrack on its own if possible.

Lewya 360 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Spielberg talks about John Williams here “John does that all on his own—I just hand my movie over to him. I’ve done that since the first movie we made together; I think he’s scored 28 of my 30 films. What John does [is], I give him my story, [and] he rewrites my story in music. He writes a musical version of the story I’ve just told. But he does sit with me and we look at the movie. Every single scene, we watch together, before he writes a single note. We watch the movie and we decide where there should be music and where there shouldn’t be. He’s a real strong believer [in that]. [For example,] he didn’t want to write any music for the Omaha Beach landings [in ‘Saving Private Ryan’]. He wanted that just to be the reality of what it was like. Those guys didn’t hear an orchestra in their heads when they landed on Omaha Beach. So John said, ‘There’ll be no music until we see the women writing the letters home.’ And that was really the first music after that sequence. So where there isn’t music is as important as where there is music.” The conversation at the table returned to the subject of “The BFG,” and what Spielberg ultimately attained from his experience making the film. “This was an excursion into the imagination and into magic. I [hadn’t] done anything in my entire career, except a couple of little scenes from time to time, that involved real magic. For me this was an original adventure, and I had the best time. I worked three years on it, and the worst moment I had was when I finished the movie, when it was all done. I had finished the color correction, the soundtrack had been mixed, Johnny Williams had finished his brilliant score, and I was faced with the fact that I wasn’t going to return to the film again. It was at that moment that I realized how deeply in love with this project I had fallen. I didn’t even know that until the last day on the film.” Will and Incanus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crocodile 8,013 Posted June 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2016 My best John Williams experience in recent years was to go to a midnight showing of The Force Awakens without hearing any of the score before (well, except for that one promo with Jedi Steps theme). It was the first time that I've done that with a John Williams score. And it made the experience of watching the enjoyable film even more special. Highly recommend it. I wasn't worried about the things missing, microedits. I was just just experiencing it. That is why I'm staying away from The BFG samples. The film is coming out two weeks after the soundtrack release over here so I won't be able to do the same thing. But I can at least experience the OST with "fresh ears".
