Popular Post SyncMan 395 Posted August 9, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 9, 2019 https://filmconcertslive.com/movies/superman/ Quote YOU’LL BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY. By arrangement with Warner Bros. Pictures, Film Concerts Live! proudly announces Superman in Concert. Hollywood’s greatest cinematic superhero returns to the big screen in the film that started it all, and now audiences can experience the the Man of Steel in concert halls around the world accompanied by the power of a full symphony orchestra performing John Williams’ triumphant original score live to picture! Directed by Richard Donner, and showcasing a young Christopher Reeve in a breakout performance that would make him an international superstar, Superman features a star-studded cast including Margot Kidder as intrepid reporter Lois Lane, Gene Hackman as the villainous Lex Luthor, and the inimitable Marlon Brando as Jor-El. Donner’s brilliant big screen adaptation relays the inspiring origins of Superman, from his narrow escape as an infant from the doomed planet Krypton, to his formative years on a farm in Smallville, Kansas, and finally to his arrival in Metropolis, where he leads dual lives as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent and as the mythic Man of Steel. Don’t miss this exciting chance to experience a beloved classic film as never before! No bookings yet, but... ....HOLY SHIIT!!!! BrotherSound, Jay and MrScratch 1 2
Jay 44,346 Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Nice! I wonder if any unused music will be restored to picture like with JAWS and CE3K SyncMan 1
SyncMan 395 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 ,For the record, I've been logging in to FCL's website every day, twice a week, since January hoping that something like this would come.
SyncMan 395 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 2 hours ago, Jay said: I wonder if any unused music will be restored to picture like with JAWS and CE3K If this concert presents the theatrical cut, which would be a safe bet because of the length, it would have to be some of the music unheard in the final cut. The TC is a trimmed down version of the cut that Williams used to write his score. Having said that, I would like to hear music that was unscored in the TC during such sequences like the destruction of Krypton, and the ‘super-feasts’ in the film’s latter half. Perhaps if Mike Matessino is involved in this concert, as he has in both JAWS and CE3K, this may happen.
bollemanneke 4,181 Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Just imagine sitting in a concert hall and listening to the flying sequence...

crocodile 9,405 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I think mike mentioned something in one of the interviews that he'd like to restore some of the music should it ever happen. We'll see. I hope LSO performs it over here. Karol
bollemanneke 4,181 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Who would give the final yes or no when it comes to restoring music?

SyncMan 395 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Posted August 12, 2019 Mike Matessino seems very sure that this concert will not get booked this year. https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=124036&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=11&r=835#bottom I figured that during the remaining weeks of December, the music venues would be putting on Xmas shows.
bollemanneke 4,181 Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 So… why announce it now? Or is it always like this, that they just tell the world they CAN organise this concert and then see what happens?

Or is it always like this, that they just tell the world they CAN organise this concert and then see what happens? I’m thinking that the reason Mike M. is so sure that this concert will not be presented this year is because this concert-program is still in-production—it’s not ready to be performed, yet. Perhaps, the producers of the concert, Film Concerts Live, are awaiting John Williams involvement on it since he's busy with SW:TROS. The producers made this announcement, now, because… they know that at this time, all the concert-halls from around the world would have filled-up their dates with shows for the remainder of this year. FCL can, now, start making bookings (aka, collecting money) for this concert for 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ll see this concert turn-up as early as Spring 2020. I’ve seen concert-halls announced a new show while a concert season is in progress. This practice is similar to Amazon.com accepting preorders on a book or DVD months before the merchandise hits the warehouse.

SyncMan 395 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 In FCL's usual practice, this said booking, a world premiere of their concert, is not posted in their Superman In Concert page, as of this writing.

SyncMan 395 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 In that KKL Luzern program, there's no name of a choir ensemble. Does that mean that the concert version of the cues, Leaving Home, The Fortress of Solitude, and Luthor's Lethal Weapon will... Have a pre-recorded female choir No choir
Naïve Old Fart 12,289 Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 ...or, possibly, a synthesized, or sampled, choir...

Jay 44,346 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Ooooh. I think that'd be a better place to see it than Lucerne, damn....
crocodile 9,405 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 2 hours ago, Jay said: Ooooh. I think that'd be a better place to see it than Lucerne, damn.... Yup, and LSO are doing Jedi a couple of days before that. And Don Davis is conducting The Matrix the day after. But then. the the Lucerne orchestra is very good. So I'm sure you'll enjoy it regardless. Karol
Naïve Old Fart 12,289 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Now, just a damn minute! Croc, when you say "LSO", do you mean Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, or (gulp!) London Symphony Orchestra?
Jay 44,346 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 He means the London Symphony Orchestra is performing ROTJ live in October 2020 https://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/series/films-in-concert/ They already did Star Wars in October 2018 and Empire Strikes Back in September 2019
Marian Schedenig 10,955 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 2 minutes ago, Jay said: They already did Star Wars in October 2018 and Empire Strikes Back in September 2019 They didn't do ESB. That was the Philharmonia Orchestra.
Marian Schedenig 10,955 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Didn't expect them to do ROTJ, now I wonder why they skipped ESB. Probably just scheduling issues.
SyncMan 395 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 I messed up on a posting. This quote from the RAH website on Superman... Quote Approximate running time 141 minutes plus one 25 minute interval Should have been here, but I accidently posted in the STAR WARS LTP thread. Basically, the RAH is showing the 1978 theatrical cut, not the director's 2000 extended cut. And no chorus ensemble is mentioned.
SyncMan 395 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 From @Corellian2019's post on the CE3K-LTP concert thread. 10 hours ago, Corellian2019 said: So after speaking w/ Mike tonight, I can confirm that the "Air Traffic Control" music is really just tracked from "Trucking". He said that he put it together after the concert's producers complained that the musical gap between "Lost Squadron" and "Trucking" was too long, and after showing the editorially created cue to JW, it was approved Assuming that “Mike” is Mike Matessino , then I hope that the producers of this concert, who are the same ones that produced the CE3K-LTP concert, can bring in “Mike” to, possibly, do a suggested music-edit for scenes that Williams originally scored for and that portions of music cue were dialed-out in the final-edit like: The Destruction of Krypton Luthor’s Lair Superfeats There are gaps between music cues during the action sequences of these scenes in the final film-edit.

He mentioned in one of the interviews that it is his intention to restore some music for Superman. But that was some time ago. I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Karol
Corellian2019 471 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Yep! It was none other than Mike Matessino with whom I spoke. When talking about restoring unused portions of music for the Close Encounters concert, he casually mentioned Jaws and Superman as examples, so I think that's a soft confirmation that unused music will be restored for the Superman concert
bollemanneke 4,181 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 I always thought it was really weird to not use unused music in concerts. For instance, why on earth didn't they play Hagrid's flashback in its entirety?
Naïve Old Fart 12,289 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 "Hagrid's flashback"? Care to enlighten, @bollemanneke?
Popular Post bollemanneke 4,181 Posted October 14, 2019 Popular Post Posted October 14, 2019 It's an HP1 cue, but the beginning was cut from the movie. I don't understand why you can't play those cues in full in film concerts as the music clearly takes centre stage in such events. Holko, bruce marshall and Naïve Old Fart 2 1
Jay 44,346 Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 17 hours ago, Richard said: "Hagrid's flashback"? Care to enlighten, @bollemanneke? 3M1 Hagrid's Flashback is a cue from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone that was not on the OST album at all, but is present in the LLL box set as disc 1, track 9, Hagrid’s Flashback. In the final film, Christopher Columbus dialed a lot of the music out, letting the scene play with no score. You can see what Williams intended restored in this video Source and more videos: http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26728-harry-potter-unused-music-restored/ The live to projection concerts for the Harry Potter series match all the edits and changes done for the final films, and do not restore any unused music.

Naïve Old Fart 12,289 Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks for the information, Jay. I know that it's not a concert, in the strictest sense, but...is anyone considering a JWfan meet up, for this, and/or ROTJ?

Naïve Old Fart 12,289 Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 That's good to know, Croc. If I can afford it, I'll attend ROTJ, as well.
SyncMan 395 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 Mike M. said on the FSM forum that the 'Love Theme from Superman' cue will not be played at the LTP concert. https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=124036&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=11&r=227#bottom Apparently, someone at the forum mentioned my suggestion for the LTP concert of putting a dedication clip in the end credits (see the 8:07 mark) to restore the 'love theme' cue to the unaltered length... ..., and Mike M. said this: Quote It's a nice idea, but it isn't going to be done this way. The "Love Theme" won't be played.
rough cut 1,784 Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Got tickets for this in London! Looking forward to visiting the Albert again!
