nightscape94 965 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 BFG is a children's fantasy movie scored by John Williams. If you can't get excited about this then you're dead inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the last five scores have given such an impression. I don't think it will be largely forgettable, I'm genuinely excited, a JW score that isn't a historical drama or Star Wars. I was just saying that the name "John Williams" is likely to earn a few nominations, regardless of quality. Apart from the suite at the end of the album, "The Book Thief" was largely forgettable.

igger6 894 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Aaaaaand another trailer with definitely non-Williams music. I remember liking the theme at the end of the last one, but this couldn't be more generic: Also, is it me, or do some of these shots look super-fake?

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Here's hoping Williams doesn't go for a Vaughan-Williams influence for this score, not because it would be bad, but because it would be a little too obvious and we already got War Horse for that particular set of ideas.

Why would Vaughan-Wiliams be a likely influence for this or obvious for that matter? Also I didn't know Mark Rylance was to voice the giant. Nice!

Perhaps a mistake, "mystery-wise", but the giants' close-up was by far the best thing, motion capture-wise (the scenes with lots of movements seemed totally fake and weightless).

nightscape94 965 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'll listen to the album first. If it's good/great/amazing/masterpiece then I'll probably end up seeing the movie in the theater just to experience it as a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
