JTN 2,046 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Too bad Williams didn’t score at least one more Jurassic Park film. I’m sure he would’ve gone down some interesting route for JP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schilkeman 964 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Kind of the low end for a mid budget drama in the late 90s, I think. TheUlyssesian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,520 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Whatever the cost was, it looks amazing. So full and saturated and sweaty; definitely Jensen's best work as cinematographer. Naïve Old Fart and filmmusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams' villain music - stuff like the Imperial March or even Duel of the Fates - is too rhythmically propulsive. It makes it feel groovy. I remember back in 1980 Williams said he wrote a new theme for Vader and the Empire that's "evil but fun." That kind of treatment of evil - "evil but fun" - would not work for The Lord of the Rings. it's possible you were looking for JW's imaginary evil music for LOTR in the wrong spots, but we can't really know. I think it's also possible that Shore's intense need to sound old and "simple" may be counterintuitive to JW's sensibilities in that time period, but that's why i find this idea fun.

Brónach 1,302 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 it's true that his famous music can be very cheeky (which i really enjoy), but he has a lot of music going into the opposite direction, so i don't know.

Maybe he thought that hiring Williams would add to its commercial appeal... That said, I've never actually read anything confirming that he was ever seriously considered.

Naïve Old Fart 9,553 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 DANGEROUS LIAISONS. The score that we have is good, but doesn't really capture the tragic undercurrents of the story. The tragedy of JANE EYRE; the sexuality of DRACULA; the playful seductiveness of THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK. That's Oscar ™ #5, right there.
