If it’s Hook, it’s so ironic that this would happen right now of all times. I literally just a few days ago spent $150 on a sealed copy of the 2012 expansion, set to arrive Thursday.  (I finally hopped back on the CD bandwagon after years of going digital, hence my lateness in getting this.) If so, I’ll just keep this sealed and sell it (albeit I’m sure for less than what I paid). Still, part of me really hopes it is Hook, as part of my reluctance in picking up the 2012 version was the issues I’m well aware of. It’s one of my favorite scores, and it would be so nice to have a definitive release that fixes all the problems and includes all the missing music.

Why would you buy that one?

[1977 1,746]

Well that's ten minutes of my life I'll never get back

[rough cut 1,742]

I’m sad that it isn’t JW, but happy to see MM is getting his projects out - especially those he are proud of and seems to have taken time to be released.

 

I’m curious to see what it is. : )

[Giftheck 1,023]

All of us here waiting for him to spill the beans

I'm simultaneously disappointed and even more intrigued.

I swear if this turns out to be one of those obscure 60s things that only a few handful of score freaks would call huge, and few others have even heard of, I'll riot.

[Richard P 4,189]

I don't think his comments make sense for any sort of score release. Just something significant of 'its type' - some series or collection being restored and released for the first time perhaps.

[Brónach 1,306]

Rerecordings! Sheet music of some kind! A book! A documentary!

Somebody should go back and find the exact wordings he used for his big non-JW project in Maurizio's podcasts!

[LB Makes Stuff 276]

This release is 100% Finding Nemo, it’s not by JW!

And if you dig deeper, think about it. What is most associated with fish? FISHING! FISHING, HOOKS, DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[aj_vader 568]

With Doug posting something, could it be The Hobbit Complete Recordings and Book? That would have started around 10 years ago??

[bollemanneke 3,593]

A Police Academy box with loads of alternates for Hooks' cues?

I think it's the Randy Edelman score to the 1997 comedy Gone Fishin' with Joe Pesci and Danny Glover. It's an even bigger holy grail than the Star Wars prequels!!

“Projects of this type” leads me to believe it isn’t even a CD, folks!  Interested to hear what it is - but I am glad that he tempered my specific expectations!

[Naïve Old Fart 10,426]

"It seems a small crisis is brewing over at MM's place.

I want books! I want films! I want TV! I want radio! I want magazines! I want us online 24 hours a day! This is our moment, and at least 20 JWfaners will watch it, hear about it, and read about it, on the JWfan General Discussion page.

There's no news like JWfan news".

It's the HP piano anthology.

Delicious!

[bollemanneke 3,593]

Whatever it is, I hope it makes MM as happy as his HP set made me.

[1977 1,746]

Maybe it's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - The Director's Edition.

[crumbs 14,869]

I wonder if it's a documentary about something film-related?

 

IIRC Mike used to direct video content/special features for catalog releases. The Alien Legacy doco springs to mind.

[Alan 702]

Maybe it's wishful thinking but I'm getting Tolkien vibes from this. Not coming from a independent label, a huge release, the extended editions being in theatres recently, 20th anniversary of ROTK and 10th for The Hobbit and then Doug gets in on the tease...

 

PLUS! Didn't Mike say he was excited about what a huge upcoming release could mean for other projects a little while back? Like a huge franchise spanning boxset? Oh the possibilities 😉

We can dream 😉

[Marian Schedenig 9,042]

Those descriptions would probably match the once-rumoured CD set of McCreary's full Rings of Power episode scores, but I don't think that's it. (But whatever became of that? Just a rumour? A cancelled project? Still pending?)

[Jurassic Shark 13,158]

We've already got two generous CDs for that.

[Richard P 4,189]

Nah, a RoP box wouldn't come anywhere near the level of importance MM implies. I reckon Bear's comment at the time was a strangely worded reference to Mondo's release - I personally don't get a sense now that a box of the episodes was ever on the table.

 

That Doug got into the cryptic tweeting action lends potential credence to something Tolkien going on though.

I think that already came out – the Munsters release from LLL.

True but I have the feeling Doug wouldn't be teasing a Rings of Power release based on his previous comments about it 😂

A box set release of 8 full-length "TV" scores would certainly be "big" and something that hasn't happened before, so I think it would qualify. But I also think MM wouldn't be involved.

Wasn't the Mondo already out at the time, and McCreary's comments specifically referred to an upcoming release? But I also don't think it likely that this is (still) happening.

[Jay 39,429]

It has been announced

Kidding. A great release and a really nice "full circle" moment for Mike, I expect, given his story about how he got started in the industry with The Sound of Music.

I was going to say the same thing! Full circle indeed... Now can history repeat itself and his next project be...??? 

[Naïve Old Fart 10,426]

Really? That's it?

$109. Hmm. I'd buy this if I wasn't spending my hard-earned on food, gas for the car, clothes, bills, etc. You know; all the trivial stuff

You can buy it digitally for $40!  That means you only need to cut out food and gas!

So what was the big Peppa news?

[Edmilson 8,920]

The pessimistic/realistic JW fan in me says that, if Mike spent so much time on such a complex project like TSoM, then he probably didn't had time nor energy to work on a JW project for the Black Friday, not even a "smaller" one like Catch me If You Can or Nixon.

 

I have a bad feeling that we only will get new MM John Williams expansions next year
