crumbs 9,903 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I know it won't happen for innumerable reasons, but it would be nice if Williams ghost-wrote a few cues for this score (given it's a celebration of retro films, despite Spielberg's refusal to reference his own material).

Popular Post crumbs 9,903 Posted November 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2017 Oh wow, they're already recording the score! Guess that's why Williams didn't score it, Spielberg must want both his films wrapped before Christmas (maybe barring VFX revisions for RPO). Nice of Williams to drop by the sessions though, just to add another layer of stress to Silvestri's job. Nice of Silvestri to address comments on his social media too: rojas_gustyyFirst time with spielberg as director how would have been the experience? alan.silvestri_music@rojas_gustyy amazing Muad'Dib, Cerebral Cortex and Will 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 626 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Still bummed that Williams isn't doing this but I guess it was really was a schedule issue.

Williams could probably have written that score after finishing TFA, but for whatever reason the score had to be wrapped during that period around April-May (despite the December release date). It might be a contractual thing about the length of a movie's post-production, where you can't have the entire post production team waiting around for months on end simply for the score to be recorded (when everything else is finished). Clearly the schedule takes precedence even over Williams doing the score, which seems surprising but is probably the reality of the business (time is money!)

But his health problems prevented it. Yes, I'm aware of that. My point is that despite being bedridden for the planned scoring dates, they could've rescheduled later in the year but instead chose to finish the film immediately with another composer. I don't think TFA's sessions were supposed to go as late as they did; that was a result of JJ's constant revisions. RPO isn't out for 4 months but Spielberg's chosen to score the film now rather than wait for Williams to write the score and record next February. Presumably the film required some heavy spotting and Williams wasn't able to/decided not to spend his time post-TLJ (June onwards) working on RPO, instead focusing on concerts and taking a writing break before doing The Post.

crumbs 9,903 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Of course it is! Wonder if one disc has the film score and the other features songs from the movie or something? Seems surprising that a score like this would get 2 discs, but you could say that for a lot of other scores nowadays (sadly not from Williams).

crumbs 9,903 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I didn't think Spielberg was really referencing his own movies, but there's a shot of the Jurassic Park T-Rex (using the same shitty CGI model from Jurassic World) chasing the Delorean in a city street. Why, oh why, can't CGI look as good as is it did 20 years ago? And why can't ILM just scan the original Stan Winston maquettes to get accurate models of the dinosaurs?

Richard Penna 1,514 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think modern CGI has something to do with not having to prove anything. 20 years ago when JP was a revolution, the CGI had to be 'perfect' because that was what drew audiences - it was new. Now CGI is everywhere, I think it doesn't really matter to the success of the film if it's a bit rough around the edges here and there..

mstrox 4,507 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The CGI in JP wasn't very good - look at the first shot of Brachiosaurus in the field, etc. Where JP succeeded is that they used as much animatronic as they reasonably could, so it helped sell the whole illusion.

Kasey Kockroach 2,164 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Rexy already looks way better in the Fallen Kingdom trailers, but I thought the CGI in World was still a natural improvement over the original's CGI shots. The problem is that animatronics are mainly used for close-ups or partial body shots, while almost every shot of a dinosaur in JW is a full-body one. I get the impression they've wised up to that since and are finding more ways to include the animatronics more extensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
