Tom 4,658 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I like that the descriptions keep using words like joyous. A piano-driven score (if indeed that is what it is) that is joyful would be something new for Williams, unless I am not remembering some film. The Accidental Tourist, Sabrina, and Book Thief are great but somber. Obviously great tracks like Over the Moon and Snowy's theme, but the scores themselves and not piano-heavy. Edit: Maybe Stanley and Iris, which doesn't do much for me--oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailers have always been part of what it's needed to advertise a movie (that's what they are: ads) and they've always been part of the Hollywood marketing machine. Nowadays there is a lot of pressure mostly because of the buzz generated by views, share, likes and whatever metrics studios need to fuel the hype propelled by incredibly aggressive marketing departments. You cannot believe the level of scrutiny and granular review these things get before they're being put out, as studios know these things are getting watched instantly by millions of people and they define, for better or worse, what the movie is going to be for the audience. Music is a big part of the overall recipe and it's a component that gets constantly revised and tinkered with, going through many level of approvals before the final sign off by the studio. It's perhaps even worse than the actual scoring process for the film itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much appreciated film critic once said, movie trailers originally served to tell the potential viewer that they're about to see something exciting and entirely new, whereas nowadays trailers assure their viewers that all they're about to see is well-known already and nothing is gonna take them out of their comfort zone. 56 minutes ago, Juanki said: I understand your point.
