[Manakin Skywalker 5,222]

Man, the last two years were rough... (and only one Williams release!)

[1977 1,745]

I'm guessing Amistad or Born on the Fourth of July for the Williams title, and hoping for Goldsmith's MacArthur as well.

 

We might get another Goldsmith at Fox.

[Jay 39,186]

Covid seemed to slow down film studio approvals to an astonishing new degree

[Edmilson 8,710]

I want Amistad or one of the Oliver Stone scores. 

[Yavar Moradi 2,942]

Bonnie and Clyde was not a Black Friday title, but a rare late December announcement.

 

Yavar

[HunterTech 1,174]

Given the recent massive success of Maverick, I do wonder if this might be the time for them to finally release the original Top Gun score after it's been mentioned to have been worked on in the past.

[Yavar Moradi 2,942]

Yeah, or an expansion of:

 

 

 

Yavar

[Andy 5,069]

After listening to @Thor’s  podcast, I would like a television works collection.

Wagon Train would be a cool place to start. With two original scores by Goldsmith and a whopping SIX (or more) from Williams, that’s a bunch of guaranteed sales already even before you add in names like Schifrin, Moross, Green, DeVol, Fried, Skinner, Amfitheatrof, Harline, Salter, Gold, Courage, Roemheld, Webb, Buttolph, Murray, Mockridge, and Shores…

 

Plus it’s owned/controlled by Universal, an entity which seems friendly to the labels (though admittedly we haven’t gotten much TV from them as yet).

MacArthur would be nice, because it's one of the few Goldsmiths I don't have yet.

Which is absurd. Seems to me that approving stuff that was all ready to be produced and released would have been the one easy thing to do while everything else was shut down.

[TolkienSS 457]

Hook would be a massive dissapointment. How many releases does a score need?

As much as I want to continue to joke about Hook. I slightly disagree.

 

Let's say the Concord set of Temple of Doom had everything besides the rope bridge percussion and film version bit of fast streets of Shanghai and those would be included on a new release. You bet your ass I'd be ordering that immediately.

 

Hook is just one of those scores to many people here. And that's fine.

Only one… if it's done right.

[Brando 2,080]

A proper one done with TLC.

 

Hoping for Hook, but as long as a new Williams one is done every year at least, that just means we're one step closer to the big big ones

Some more details from MV (via FSM Board):

 

Now is as good as a time as any to share some info with all of you

[Jay 39,186]

Oh that's fantastic news! I can handle staying up until midnight my time to join in the fun! 

 

The 3am my time announcements basically meant I didn't see them until I woke up on Friday some 5 hours into the madness 

[Brando 2,080]

Its like the countdown to New Years! This I can handle.

[Jay 39,186]

The $40 title has me intrigued. 3CD set? 4CD set? 

[Brando 2,080]

How much was the JP box set when it first dropped?

[whitenoise23 27]

I'm guessing a 3CD set, along with 1 single CD and 3 2CD sets. But hope I'm wrong!

[Edmilson 8,710]

I bet the $39.98 one will be a 3CD or 4CD box. But which one? A few bets:

• The John Williams Oliver Stone collection (not likely, they're movies from different studios);
• The non-Williams Harry Potter collection (with music by Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper and Alexandre Desplat);
• The non-Williams Jurassic Park collection (JP3 and the first World movie - the sequels already have big enough OSTs);
• Another Star Trek box;
• The John Williams TV collection (with his earlier music for 60s TV shows);
• Star Wars Original Trilogy/Indiana Jones box (yeah, right...)

[Jay 39,186]

27 minutes ago, Brando said:

$60

[Brando 2,080]

Not that there's a pattern, but $15 or so per disc. I bet the $40 set is 3 discs. Or 4 discs.

[Manakin Skywalker 5,222]

1 hour ago, Edmilson said:

Star Wars Original Trilogy/Indiana Jones box (yeah, right...)

 

It would have to be OST reissues then. 

[Drawgoon 105]

Elfman's Spider-Man 1 perhaps? If I am not mistaking, this year marked the 20th anniversary of this film. I remember that #2 and #3 were said to be impossible to do, but I don't think I've ever heard the same for the first one.

 

Maybe something for a film franchise that has gotten (or will be getting) a sequel or reboot lately/soon? I reckon Avatar would be something for Intrada to look into so, Faltermeyer's Top Gun 1 perhaps?

 

How about a soundtrack album for JNH and co's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" TV series?

 

They also haven't yet looked into JNH's Postman, even though they released sets for Waterworld and Wyatt Earp. That could be on their to-do list.

 

It would be super cool if they started looking into JNH/M Night collaborations too. Perhaps starting with Signs which, just like Spidey 1 above, also had its 20th anniversary this year. Though I don't think there was much interesting or significant music missing from the 2002 CD, if anything at all.

Disney Records. If they wanted to also do physical boxsets then that would probably be Intrada.

[Holko 10,098]

Just like how Intrada releases the physical legacy editions? And how they released the ST OSTs? And the demasters?

[Manakin Skywalker 5,222]

*Possibly

Curious order, seems to be random? 2 disc, 2 disc, 3-4 disc, 2 disc, 1 disc. You'd think it'd be organised from lowest to highest... unless this is in reveal order? In which case the 1CD one is the last one, the biggest one? Maybe something thought to be lost or impossible?

[bollemanneke 3,569]

God, now I need to get up at 6 AM... Oh well.

[Alan 697]

Here's a crazy idea. Fellowship of the Ring as one of the titles that was delayed. Originally planned for its 20th anniversary last year and now nicely ties in to the renewed interest in Middle Earth and it's music. Remastered and presenting the music as intended

 

I'll keep dreaming...

 

 

[Richard Penna 4,095]

The $40 title feels like a 4-CD set to me - Intrada's Sleepy Hollow is the same price. Given a highly unreliable rumour posted on Intrada's forum a while back, I'm going to keep my prayers open that it's Gladiator (1/2 - score, 3 - alternates, 4 - OST).

 

Otherwise must be either some sort of TV box or some other score that has a lot of material. Outside of Hook (which we know it isn't) I can't think of any JW scores that would fit this.

 

If their history is anything to go by, they'll try to do a mix of newer stuff (perhaps millennium onwards) and older stuff so there's something for everyone to at least consider. This is certainly the most exciting batch in a while, partly as they've got it nailed down this far in advance and because so much other great stuff has come out generally over the year that we're probably not in a 'drought' period generally.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,472]

My bets:

 

$29.98: The Lost World: Jurassic Park (2CD)
$29.98: Jurassic Park III (2CD)
$39.98: Gladiator (3CD)
$29.98: Amistad (2CD)
$21.98: new OST (1CD)

[Richard Penna 4,095]

It would make real sense to be TLW and JPIII because the former gives them a nice dependable revenue stream (especially if it somehow has something new on it) for less work than a new release, and the latter is a nice sister release and closes the book on the JP trilogy.

 

But this is where serious expectation management is needed, and of course things may not fall into place as nicely as that.

[MedigoScan 332]

I'd hope for either of those to have some film versions

Though the JP2 filmversions would be hard to recreate.

[Jay 39,186]

Hook would be a massive dissapointment. How many releases does a score need?

 

Hook has had exactly 2 releases. The original soundtrack album in 1991, and an incomplete expansion produced by Didier Deutch in 2012, which was only in print for about a year before it sold out in the summer of 2013 and had been unavailable since. 

 

Any other "releases" you might have seen on the internet are unofficial fan edits / bootlegs. 

[HunterTech 1,174]

Said expansion also fetching high prices on the secondary market these days. So even if there isn't a redone version, the previous attempt being made available again would get the score onto more hands still.
