Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I will happily go see West Side Story in a movie theater and either enjoy it or not enjoy it based solely on what Spielberg actually produced. But the cultural and political perception of it I think will make it kryptonite both critically and commercially, and probably have little to do with the movie itself. I will be surprised if that movie gets a single major awards nomination. Nick1Ø66 and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I’ve never seen the original West Side Story but I like the songs and I like Spielberg so I bet this one would be pretty good! The Fablemans sounds like a pretty stupid name for a movie, like some aughts indie movie. But it’ll probably be good anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Well, it's "The Fabelmans", not "The Fablemans", and from what I understand, it's not officially titled that, which is why the Deadline articles that have come out lately have reverted to referring to the film as "the film loosely based on Spielberg's childhood" rather than "The Fabelmans" any more.

Is Spielberg even done shooting that? When will its rough cut be ready? According to Deadline, Michelle Williams recently finished shooting. Seth Rogen is posting podcasts on social media. Chloe East posted this 3 days ago, presumably from her final day (she's currently in Greece): FWIW, IMDB says the film is in post-production. So if they've wrapped, it would probably have a first cut ready in a few weeks. Could Williams start working on this soon? Maybe even record in January, before starting on Indy 5?

If the film is a small scale drama like The Post, I could see him finishing it before even starting Indy. Or maybe starting the score this year then finishing it next July.

Williams would write and record Fabelmans before Carnegie Hall, then write and record Indy 5 after Carnegie Hall. But then these 2 June concerts got announced and made me think that can't be possible. So now it's kind of a mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,313 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The production is so low-key, we probably won't even know the score is being recorded unless JKMS or one of the musicians post something on SM. I think the same thing happened with The Post; it all just happened and we were none the wiser. If it's a small ensemble/chamber score like Lincoln, I could easily see Williams writing it before January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Technically Williams isn't even announced as composing this yet, as opposed to Indy 5 where Williams was announced before shooting even began Of course I fully expect Williams to score it, but maybe this is indeed a Holiday 2022 movie and Spielberg won't show it to Williams until after Williams is completely done with all his concerts and Indy 5? And Williams won't be announced as the composer until the hype train begins for its release? Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,313 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think it depends on the score Spielberg wants. If it's something unobtrusive like The Post, they could easily knock it over by January. Unfortunately I don't think they can put the whole film on ice until July just for Williams. The sound team need a completed score to integrate into the mix before moving onto other projects, for example. The logical solution is that Williams focuses on just the film cues for now, then returns after Indy 5 for a round of album sessions and concert arrangements (basically anything the film didn't need but he traditionally records for his soundtracks).

Jay 37,355 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 With today's news that Williams begins work on Indiana Jones 5 next week, I now assume he'll finish all scoring duties on IJ5 before doing Fabelmans after, which probably indicates this is releasing in theaters after Indiana Jones 5. So likely a fall/winter 2022 release, not a spring/summer 2022 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I’m going to be honest, if Indy 5 somehow makes it so that JW can’t score this, I will always resent the Indy movie for it, I’d be gutted. If forced to choose, I would rather him do something new than another sequel score. But I’m also someone who has listened to the final track of The Post more times than any single track from either TLJ or TROS, so take my opinion with a grain of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
