Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 He has often said that he doesn't listen to a score after it's been recorded, mixed, and added to the film. Why should he? He's moved on. I don't suppose that he cares about how the score is marketed and sold. It's the fans who insist that he revisit his most popular works. Sometimes, I get the feeling that he'd rather be conducting his classical music, rather than churning out film score concert, after film score concert, ad infinitum.

Datameister 2,041 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Well, and we know that he was given a temp track of SW music for TLJ. Johnson and team ostensibly used the track "Princess Leia's Theme" for her spacewalk and the track "Yoda's Theme"—I'm sure they also saw the track title "Luke and Leia" and thought, I wonder if that'll fit! (Fortunately, Williams got to stray further from his past arrangements for that one.) Anyway, could anyone point me toward a DeRosa performance that would be a good example of the sound Williams likely had in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TolkienSS 405 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I see some people being somewhat ambivalent towards John Williams devoting time to Indiana Jones V, saying he should do things that are original and new at his age and limited time. I'm not one of these people. Well, first, why would you assume Indy V isn't going to be original? It will be completely new music, it's the movie that has questionable vibes. And secondly, I would rather have John Williams write a new Indiana Jones, than him devoting time to another one of Spielberg's newly found snoozeflicks, meandering away at subdued piano lines. I want Williams to score big and bold movies because there is always a chance he will deliver another all time classic. Remco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 2,835 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I don’t know when the Classic FM interview was recorded but JW said he was 30% of the way through it and he’d be working on it through to September. Brando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulin 3,510 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 70% of a wall-to-wall score would be what, 80 minutes?

AFAIK, they kept the same template used for the Disney Star Wars films, i.e. a series of 2-day sessions staggered over a period of 3-4 months, so to give JW enough time to accomodate picture changes, etc. The first two sessions were done in late June and another two were done last week after he came back from Tanglewood.

crumbs 14,306 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Would 6 days of double sessions (12 sessions in total) be sufficient to record an Indy score? Can't remember how much completed music he averages per session. Guessing somewhere between 10-15 minutes?

Seems unlikely they'd go to the trouble of bringing the crew and orchestra together for a single 3 hour session, then coming back the following day to do it again. More likely they'd knock off two sessions in a single day than consecutive days of single sessions, given the time and cost involved in rigging/renting the stage.
