Will 2,215 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Music sounds awesome!! I love Williams in soaring, heart-lifting mode. All sorts of classic Williams-isms! Can't wait to hear the rest. I also love how Williams is able to get really "epic" in orchestration when the film calls for it -- listen to the background strings at one point as the music builds. 1 hour ago, mrbellamy said: It seemed like during the sessions he revised some of it a bit, Williams thought it was "too big" and made it more understated. Unreleased music! Unreleased music that is surely awesome-er than the final version, too. @king mark will not be pleased. I certainly am not! Not that I don't appreciate what we've heard so far, though -- see above. I'm not really that mad, I just suspect the unreleased bigger versions will torment me for a long time. 1 hour ago, mrbellamy said: Keane just said the film was temped with Empire of the Sun (I would assume "Cadillac of the Skies") Woah, that's awesome! I wonder if Kobe personally recommended it? If Kobe likes EOTS, even if it's just "Cadillac," he has some serious JW fan credentials. I also think it's awesome because that's one of the most impactful massive emotional JW works for me and that's a great indication of a heart-rending tone -- which, since I first saw your comment, has been confirmed by the little glimpse at the opening.

King Mark 3,631 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 oh no. it's beautiful and unreleased This could be haunting us for years, especially the instantly mythical "bigger version" that was probably recorded and we'll never hear So will the music be released or it's another "A Timeless Call" Will and Once 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I love how the video cuts off right as the music swells to a massive thematic statement. Oh well, leaves us more to look forward to when it's released. This film/music is awesome! igger6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 This sounds fantastic—and it cuts out at just the wrong moment! Also, the animation is gorgeous.

Also somehow reminds me of "The Landing" from Amazing Stories: The Mission. Also, the very beginning reminds me of "Cadillac of the Skies."

Kobe Bryant is going for a media career now post-Lakers and this was the first project for his production company.

So not sure what happened there, maybe they decided it was good enough for a more prestigious debut. But kobebryant.com is still advertising it as "coming soon" so I imagine the film will still be put online, either for free streaming or as a download purchase.

I think the debut has to be at a film festival or a movie theater in order to be eligible. Think about it: Kobe Bryant could be an Academy Award winner next year. With the combination of Glen Keane and John Williams, it seems like s slam dunk. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an episode on sports scores awhile back: http://celluloidtunes.no/spillelister-playlists/ (scroll down to #42 to see my selections). Williams' "Olympic Spirit" made the list, even if it isn't a film score. HOOSIERS was a contender for Goldsmith, but ultimately lost out to RUDY.
