"2018 is gonna be one for the books", says LLL regarding JW

[phbart 609]

With the recent "The Mummy" 2CD, there have been lots of cool Jerry Goldsmith releases this year, and only one cool JW release for the books. You think they misspelled JW for JG when they made the statement?

[Yavar Moradi 2,590]

They were making the statement about releases from their *own* label LLL, not others. So far LLL has only put out the western reissue/remaster twofer of Rio Conchos and 100 Rifles. Not one for the books there, surely.

 

Presumably LLL is saving their big Williams releases for closer to Christmastime?

What does some other label releasing something have anything to do with the head of LLL talking about his own titles?

The approval process always was and will always continue to be a bitch.

[phbart 609]

It was meant to be a joke. You know, as in J-O-K-E. Or a joeke, jowke... whatever. I was trying to say that Goldsmith is a few steps ahead of JW. He's been known to do that every now and then, and he's dead for quite a while now. 14 years this month, right?

No JFK this year.

[gkgyver 1,645]

Probably shouldn't throw around such big words before they get their approval, then.

You should take that to the approximately 39 support group threads in Other Topics.

[bollemanneke 3,338]

He's right though, it makes no sense whatsoever to talk about things you're not even sure of. They'd better release one JW score a month from now on, otherwise they won't be able to keep that promise.

No. There are films that come out at the end or beginning of the year that end up being the 'film of the year'. Whatever they have planned to release this year must be something that will define 2018.

[phbart 609]

Don't stone me, but HP 1-2-3 alone won't be enough to call 2018 one for the books.

[Arpy 4,145]

If the success and reception of E.T. and Jurassic Park is anything to go by , I expect something like HP 1-3 would be more than enough, it might perform better than the aforementioned titles. Particularly now that the Harry Potter / Fantastic Beasts hype is returning.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,504]

HPs 1-3 would be enough to please everyone but the most casual JWfan. If that's all the JW material released, this year, the I'd consider myself very happy, indeed.

[Disco Stu 15,495]

A Mattessino produced Azkaban expansion would be more than enough to call 2018 one for the books.  My #1 Williams Grail at this point.

If we have to believe a certain someone, WB is working/has been working on a complete HP box set, so LLL isn't doing those. What are the chances of MM being involved in that case?

If ya'll want to hear the missing Azkaban music so badly, just watch the movie!

[Jurassic Shark 12,033]

Whoa! There's a movie?!?

[Disco Stu 15,495]

big if true

[Jay 37,308]

The sheet music leak for Azkaban revealed plenty of interesting music that was both not on the OST, AND not in the film.

Hey, when did our mythic forefather become an insult?

[Faleel 5,340]

@Holko First recorded in 1932 and popularized by the cartoon character Bugs Bunny who sarcastically refers to the hunter Elmer Fudd as "nimrod", as an ironic connection between "mighty hunter" and "poor little Nimrod", i.e. Fudd.

He works with labels other than LLL. He's freelance, and also the Williams camp's first preference for producer of score expansions.

 

And who is the certain someone? Did I miss something? 

[Chewy 2,380]

Would like to know a bit more about the 'certain someone' as well...

[bollemanneke 3,338]

It's a person who used to be a very big hit in a temple some of us visit, he gave us lots and lots of interesting mateiral to discuss.

It is only August, but so far there is the 20th anniversary limited edition release of the Maestro's score to Saving Private Ryan coming on the 28th. Within the next few months, there will be more goodies. Looking forward to it.

[crumbs 14,304]

25th Anniversary of Schindler's List... an LLL release to come with profits going to a charity... just saying.

 

This anniversary thing seems to be the new trend with Matessino/Williams projects. ET 35th, CE3K 40th, SPR 20th...

 

A bit surprised Amistad's 20th was missed last year but maybe it's being held up for some reason. That was a Dreamworks production (as was SPR alongside Paramount, which was just announced) so I can't see any major roadblocks unless Spielberg or Williams weren't interested in expanding it?

 

My guess is SL will be the only other Spielberg/Williams expansion this year (plus maybe Amistad) and there will be another non-Spielberg release too, hopefully the Potter trilogy. SW/IJ ain't coming anytime soon, much less through LLL.

[Brundlefly 2,385]

Williams is interested in expanding Amistad!

 

Only SPR and SL would be quite "meh".

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

There's nothing left to expand...

How do you know that? Other than the hint a year or so ago that he was seemingly revisiting the score. He dropped a subtle hint in a radio interview, something along the lines of, "It's a score I'm starting to remember quite well."
