Loert 2,515 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 There are some tid-bits in there which sound like somebody is trying to imitate Williams (e.g. the running strings at the end which are vaguely reminiscent of JW's work for Harry Potter). The theme is a bit generic, though, so I don't think it's Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,515 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Seriously, it's like a day doesn't go by before a new trailer/TV spot is released which may or may not have music by Williams. I've already lost track of Williams' musical style. It's driving me insane! Hopefully next Friday will set everything straight again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,517 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I don't think it's Williams either. Even if's been "trailered up" like that STAR WARS TV spot, the thematic core material doesn't sound like him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie 45 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'm surprised that almost everyone agrees it's not Williams. It sounds like Williams to me. It may be a synthesised mock-up of a relatively detailed sketch? Seems most likely as it's 7 months away. But the core of it definitely sounds like a cunningly derivative yet unique and catchy Williams theme, with subtle trademarks of variation and melodic detours. It sounds confident and complete and yet unfinished... Seems like far too much effort was put in it otherwise, and besides, if it's just trailer house music, if that even is such a thing, whoever wrote this might as well be Williams at this point. They did a very good job and deserve a pay raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Listening to it again and based on how the ABC teaser also wasn't completely and undeniably Williams except to, like, Marcus, then I guess that this actually could be a Williams melody. If it is JW, then it's crazy to me that now we're getting Williams debuts with this sound rather than an actual orchestral recording. It's messing with my head, especially because the melodies themselves are not really that exceptional to tell me "100% only Williams could do this, nobody else".Maybe this is just what he sounds like now...

Thor 7,517 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The Star Wars TV spot... Remember your failure with the TV spot!Nothing like that at all. First of all, the core of that sounded very Williams, even if it had been "hidden" behind trailer gimmicks by other people. This isn't anything like that. It sounds like pretty generic 'fairytale' trailer music.I think we all need to take a step back and just wait untill we have something concrete and official from the score.

Sandor 797 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I agree with Thor. These speculation threads bring out the worst in JWFan.I do not necessarily disagree with that, but speculating whether the music in the first released trailer for The BFG was written by Williams or was partly adapted from his score sheets seems very valid material for a John Williams discussion forum to me, even if nothing can be concluded at this point. I for one am very excited about The BFG score, like I'm excited about any new Wiliams score. The journey to finally hearing the soundtrack is marked by getting little bits and pieces of information and it's exactly that phase that I find highly enjoyable.Even if the trailer music wasn't written by Williams it does tell us something.The same way the non-Williams trailer music for the first Angela's Ashes teaser or the first A.I. trailer gave us a glimpse of the musical direction Wiliams would eventually take without copying the works that were used.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 if it's not a trailerised williams theme, it is someone imitating harry potter, angela's ashes and the book thief themes and mixing them together in trailer form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
