Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I remember a report some time ago that Williams was recording different types of trailer music so that the director could edit freely according to what was needed, or something like that.

crumbs 14,318 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'm sure there's a minimum booking you have to make for freelance orchestras, in this case half a day. Can't exactly book a trumpet section for 30 minutes.They did warm up with the Main Title so JW probably spent a while calibrating their "sound" to emulate the LSO.

peter.anschutz 43 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 JJ Abrams says Disney has kept its hands off The Force AwakensHe also apparently said he has *a* final cut of the film already (as opposed to the final cut?). The "talk" in which he divulges this information is nearly an hour long, which I don't have time to watch - and thus cannot provide relevant time stamps - but I'll link it below if anyone is interested.

mrbellamy 6,288 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The relevant conversation starts at 35:25. Not much else in there, though it's not that they have "a final cut" of the film. Abrams is saying he has final cut privileges but there's some clause for Disney to get around it, even though Iger hasn't been exercising much control over the film so far.So the writer of that particular article obviously misinterpreted but other places are reporting it correctly.

Lewya 360 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 "It is indeed true that Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will be released on Monday the 19th. The announcement should come about twelve hours or so before the airing (these things tend to fluctuate). We believe the trailer will appear with a football game that evening, but that bit is only semi-confirmed but most likely dead on. I wish I had better sources on the sports scene but it isn’t my thing. We assume the trailer will be posted online moments after it is on television. The new Star Wars: The Force Awakens logo will appear at this time as well. The generic Star Wars: The Force Awakens logo will be out and the actual logo for the film will finally be revealed. We believe the new logo will be the one that we will see in the trailer and start to turn up on merchandise in the near future. This trailer is really going to be something special. I don’t want to spoil it. But I think we’re going to be very happy fans this Monday. I really think J.J. Abrams has made something special here and I’m going to sit this one out and hope that it doesn’t leak out. In the past I only released the teaser descriptions to shut down the fake ones. It appears we don’t have a problem with that this time. The good news is we are at the finish line for The Force Awakens. I can confirm to the best of my ability a new logo, Monday trailer announcement followed by a trailer this Monday."http://makingstarwars.net/2015/10/star-wars-the-force-awakens-trailer-and-logo-coming-this-monday/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Before watching it I'll ask you insufferably excitable people first if the trailer "spoils all the best bits".This will be my first test of putting my money where my mouth is. I will attempt to not watch the trailer to the best of my ability. I probably won't be seeing any films in the theater until TFA so no risk of coming attractions, and I don't watch TV (just Netflix) so no accidental commercials. So I would really have to go out of my way and look it up or proactively click a link to see the trailer. Let the temptation begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter.anschutz 43 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The following update was added to the makingstarwars.net announcement about Monday's trailer release quoted a few posts back (bold added for emphasis):Update: Germain at io9 has heard: 'UPDATE 10/15: We’ve heard from multiple sources that here’s what’s happening with Star Wars: The Force Awakens this weekend.First, we’ll get to see the official one sheet on Sunday morning.Second, the trailer will debut Monday night, roughly around 8pm EST.Third, tickets will go on sale very soon after that, likely around 8:30pm EST. They should be available at most, if not all, ticketing sites and theaters.'I would take Germain’s word on this. On a side note, Viral at Star Wars News Network heard there [won't] be a new logo. Perhaps the logo talk and the poster talk became intertwined? Looks like the fun starts this Sunday, a little earlier than we thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
