Positivatee 327 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Not gonna lie, that music made me weepy. I love the movie and score so much. It looks like they are disregarding the sequel trilogy, which is of course the correct choice. I thought I saw Julie Peters' Kaiya briefly but I guess not. Also can't tell if that's Joanne Whalley or not. I don't think so but she resembles her. I want Admiral Madmartigan to make an appearance but I won't hold my breath.

Anthony 572 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I've never seen Willow and don't know anything about it other than Horner's music. But this trailer seemed like it was on the good side of modern entertainment. And Warwick Davis is so damn likeable.

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 I did watch this teaser, out of curiosity for what it would look like. It has this look that puts me in mind of the recent Amazon fantasy series in a way I can’t put my finger on. Could be great, but I’m going to miss the gorgeous chemical film look of the original when watching the too crisp digital image.

Edmilson 7,457 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'm very much looking forward for the JNH score for the show, I'm sure it'll be wonderful. But it would be also great if they released the expanded edition of Horner's score alongside the new series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,131 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I’m thinking that’s why we haven’t seen it released sooner. 25 minutes ago, Stu said: Could be great, but I’m going to miss the gorgeous chemical film look of the original when watching the top crisp digital image. YES. Somehow film grain helps sell the long time ago aspect of fantasy. Probably because we associate so much of the genre to the 80s standouts.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yeah, they're not going for that achingly gorgeous storybook illustration feel of the original, sadly. What matte paintings! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ren 789 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The trailer looks like fun, but what really makes me excited of the series is James Newton Howard's score. Howard in fantasy mode with maybe some references to Horner's fantastic themes? Hell yeah! Edmilson and Bounty95 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Just watched the trailer and it looks interesting enough. I have only seen the original film once, decades ago, so don't remember hardly any details about it whatsoever, other than vague images in my head that I connected to some of the OST music (it's one of my favorite Horners). So nothing here tickled any member berries for me at all, until Horner's theme came in at the very end, which was pretty cool. Looking forward to JNH's score album, will probably watch the show I guess (?), and definitely hoping all this leads to a complete edition of the original score finally happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,110 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Actually the timing of the new WILLOW series would be an excellent opportunity to revisit the original film release on a 4K restoration and remastered/ reissue of the soundtrack expanded ofcourse would be perfect !!!

Jurassic Shark 12,079 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 On 12/11/2021 at 7:35 PM, Stu said: Kilmer's vocal cords are permanently damaged after a serious battle with throat cancer sadly. He is in the new Top Gun movie that hasn't come out yet, although I'm guessing not a large role and the producers are actually re-creating Kilmer's voice in a computer using artificial intelligence or something. I'm guessing he won't be in the new Willow series, but I guess you never know, maybe a small cameo. I doubt Disney would be willing to pay to do that computer voice recreation just for a miniseries though. I'm sure they could have found a voice actor that got pretty close to his voice.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I like Warwick Davis as Willow, he has a charm that overpowers any limits to his acting abilities. That said, he was an awful quiz show host. LSH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer's son sounds uncannily like him, but there's also been a physical toll that I don't think would translate well to this setting. Maybe a short scene like he has in Top Gun: Maverick could work but beyond that I don't think his body would be up to anything else. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Relistened to the Willow OST by watching my old isolated score videos. I love it so much, over-used Hornerisms and all! There's really only a few minutes missing (barring alternates/unused score) but I would just love to have this score "checked off the list." I'm guessing there's really not much to be done about the very long cues, though. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterTech 994 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm always amazed at how easily people could flip their lid over something that might not even mean anything in the final product (cause Disney still likely has to sell this to international markets after all).
