Hmm ... Hahaha true TBH I'm more exited for this than I am for Dune. And by the way how the hell don't we know who's scoring this already??

Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 If there's a classic science fiction book series that's even harder to adapt than Dune, it's Foundation. But at least the first Dune book tells a fairly traditional narrative from beginning to end. Anyone who has read Foundation knows...that's not the case. I don't see any way they're not approaching Foundation the same way Amazon is approaching their "Lord of the Rings" series, i.e. take the nucleus of the author's original ideas and have TV writers make the rest of it up.

Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 There's even a Foundation/Lord of the Rings connection, in that New Line was trying to develop a Foundation movie which ultimately fell apart, but their desire for a big franchise led them being receptive to Lord of the Rings. Very good call on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Indeed. So its fitting that now TV series based of both franchises would be airing, albeit a year apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I'll definitely check it out, but if I'm honest, the girl's voiceover in the beginning of the trailer worries me. Also, the aesthetic of the show (from the snippets that I can pick up) doesn't seem to appeal all that much to me. Feels a bit sci-fi channel.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 My own understanding/estimation of what the Rings show will do is that it won't cover millennia: it'll just take a time period and focus on it. They have quite a few people playing Dwarves, Numenoreans and even Dunlendings, and it'd be foolish to do a couple of chapter or even a season and then send all of those away.

Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I tried to read this series, but couldn't get past the first one, I found it to be interminably silly and a bit of a Tolkien rip-off (though I'm told later books don't have that issue). Still, they're very beloved by a lot of people, and I'm interested enough to give it a try. The trailer looks fairly fantasy generic, along the lines of Witcher or See, but perhaps the source material will elevate it. Anyone know who’s doing the score?

Drew 590 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Balfe is scoring Wheel of Time as of today. I called it two years ago that him getting His Dark Materials was a slippery slope toward him/RCP scoring everything related to fantasy and possibly getting the LOTR show.

A24 4,333 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The music in that trailer was pretty sucky. And indeed, by the looks of it, expect the level of The Witcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Who 919 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Disappointing news. Buckley would have been better. I wonder if this means that he will score LOTR as well. He did like a post about the LOTR show on twitter a few months ago. Part of the score apparently, according to Balfe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Balfe's HDM has a strong theme, but as is usual for his work, it all sounds like it's coming from a computer. Even the main titles has that Zimmerite processed horn blaring to make it sound specifically from the 2010s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,363 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Quote Disney+ Day will be held on Friday, November 12, 2021, and will act as a celebration for all of the content already on the service. In order to celebrate, Disney plans on releasing a ton of brand new movies, television series, and other presentations to the service. Perhaps the biggest announcement of all, though, is that Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings will land on the platform on November 12, alongside Disney’s Jungle Cruise film. The full list of content set to hit Disney+ on November 12, 2021, are as follows: Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings Jungle Cruise The new Disney+ Original movie Home Sweet Home Alone, a reimagining of the popular holiday franchise An all-new original series of shorts from Walt Disney Animation Studios called Olaf Presents, which sees Frozen’s beloved snowman retelling several classic Disney tales as only he can Walt Disney Animation Studios shorts, including Frozen Fever, Feast, Paperman, and Get A Horse! The animated short film Ciao Alberto, featuring characters from Pixar’s Luca A new short from The Simpsons that pays tribute to Disney+’s marquee brands The first five episodes from season 2 of The World According to Jeff Goldblum from National Geographic A special celebrating the origins and legacy of Star Wars’ legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett A special celebrating the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+ with an exciting look towards the future Dopesick, an original series starring Michael Keaton, which will be released in international markets as part of the Star general entertainment content offering https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/1195105-disney-announces-disney-day-confirms-shang-chi-streaming-date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Netflix's adaptation of the anime series 'Cowboy Bebop'. The style oddly reminds me of The Wachowski's Speed Racer film. As a fan of the anime, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the show.
