Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Actually, you're all wrong. The real reason why Silvestri is scoring RPO, is that he had already written a bunch of quasi negro-spiritual songs for it, and had, secretly, acquired the film rights. Warner Bros. simply would not budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted July 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2017 Definitely starting to look less like a scheduling conflict and more like an "I don't want to score this" conflict. It would have largely been a work of prespiration rather than inspiration, with Williams having to work hard to fit into a musical idiom he's not familar with and without a quality underlying story to warrant the effort. Not to mention the fact that Williams would've had to squeeze in a musical narrative inbetween the endless references (many of which would have had to be provided by the score itself (something Williams was never very keen on)) TheUlyssesian, Will and crumbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 KOTCS is harmless fun, this looks absolutely outside of Williams' sensibilities. 1 hour ago, Not Mr. Big said: Not to mention the fact that Williams would've had to squeeze in a musical narrative inbetween the endless references (many of which would have had to be provided by the score itself (something Williams was never very keen on)) I doubt they're hiring a composer like Silvestri to fill the score with quotes. I'm sure we'll have some references, but knowing Silvestri's track record, there's going to be very little of other composers themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Did Spielberg make this as some sort of contractual obligation? Did he actually have a loaded gun pointed at his head while directing it? So..he's a "cinematic game-changer", now, eh? Give me strength. Sorry to be a downer, but this looks like complete shit.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Tbh honest, I haven't really formulated a view on the movie. The trailer makes it looks like a CGI fest to me, and I'm not sure that I fancy it at the moment. But it's Spielberg, so I know a high level of storytelling competency will be present and correct. Did Speed Racer have that? I didn't see that movie. The difficulty is I'll not watch another trailer for the film now, so to get me to see it Spielberg is now reliant on buzz, word of mouth and his name on the poster after the words "Directed By". Bearing in mind I still haven't seen Lincoln or Bridge of Spies. But hey, I prefer to keep an open mind about these things. Besides, my last post was a comment on JWFan posters and not the movie.

The next two Spielberg films are a sci-fi actio/adventure flick and a serious historical drama, and people seem to hate either of them. Exactly what kinda film do you want Spielberg to make???
