Jay 37,363 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 12 hours ago, crumbs said: I wonder what this will mean for labels getting soundtrack expansions for existing Fox films. Good? Bad? Fox is one of the easiest labels to work with. When news of the sale became a pretty much guaranteed thing earlier this year, all the labels prioritized anything left remaining at Fox they wanted over all other projects. There is about an 18 month window during which business as usual happens between them and Fox before Disney takes over that aspect of the business and they have to go through different channels to license stuff.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 But does it feel more like a Fox score or a Dreamworks score? Minority Report oddly never felt like a Fox film to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,363 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 It was technically co-produced by Fox, Dreamworks, Cruise/Wagner and Amblin, but it's really an Amblin movie through and through. Fox distributed it in the US and it was distributed by Dreamworks directly internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 So.... does Fox have licensing rights for the music here? The OST was definitely Dreamworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,363 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Yes, the specialty labels would have to get a license from Fox for the music that wasn't on the OT, and from Dreamworks for the music that was. It shouldn't be an issue for any label willing to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,315 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Great to hear Jay. Considering A.I. was released the year before Minority Report, and was expanded over 3 years ago now, hopefully this is on LLL's agenda for the near future. I'd be surprised if they wait until 2022 for the 20th Anniversary, purely in case licensing Fox scores become too difficult under Disney's ownership. I guess ultimately it's up to JW's camp though 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 Whoa this is weird. So 20th Century Fox was formed by a merger of Fox Film and Twentieth Century Pictures in 1935. The very last film released under the Twentieth Century Pictures banner before the merger completed was an adaptation of The Call of the Wild. Now, 85 years later the first film released under the Disney revived 20th Century Studios label is... an adaptation of The Call of the Wild.

Why? People are more familiarized with Fox than 20th century anyway. Are they going to use Fox, sorry, 20th Century, just to release period movies?

I think the 4K versions, finalized before the Disney sale, have the FOX logos. I’m fairly certain the HD and SD versions are the available Blu-ray/digital editions, sans logo. Edit: interestingly, I now see the 4K version (with Fox logos and Macklunkey) on my phone in regular HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
