The La-La Land Black Friday 2023 thread

[Richard Penna 3,694]

Which is a bit of a shame really. I easily care the least about all the pretty photos in the liners, which at most I might open and read once. The music and sound/presentation is far more important imo.

 

I'd be happy to buy expansions with no photos or liners, but which caused fewer legal headaches and delays for all involved.

[Edmilson 7,466]

I have a feeling that one of this year's titles  is Born on the Fourth of July but it is taking a long time because there's too many Tom Cruise photos for the liner notes.

Well, 5 out of 8 possible projects only for this year's BF is still a great number 

In my case: The more the releases, the less I can purchase. But I guess I'm not alone with this. MV says they have no choice, but I wonder how releasing so many CDs at once will affect their sales in the short run. There are lots of people who procrastinate.

Another update from the FSM thread:

 

Any chance of Minority Report coming back in stock?

 

The only titles scheduled to come back for the holidays are

 

AI
DIE ANOTHER DAY (FINAL BATCH)

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

8 titles would be incredible! One can dream that three of them could be for the Oliver Stone & John Williams Collection

[bollemanneke 3,349]

Is there... any chance... the WB issues have been sorted out for BF? Like, any at all?

Oof. Thanks for this, secured one copy of The Lost World for christmas. I thought it was gonna come back in time for Black Friday.

[Richard Penna 3,694]

I have TLW sitting in my Intrada basket along with The Rock - easier than waiting for LLL to be back in stock and better for combined shipping. I'm hoping I might want whatever Intrada has left this year.

That would require of certain amount of reasonability from WB. Wow, even as I type it, it sounds weird.

[Jay 37,369]

In the same FSM thread, MV says:

 

Of the Eight titles I previously wrote of...

Five Titles are officially locked for Black Friday 2023

One title has been moved to 2024

And the remaining two titles are still in approvals.

If they don't get cleared by months end they too will move to 2024

And then Mike Matessino says:

 

My five! Or to be fair I should say four-and-a-half. One started when the president was vice president. What a year. TGIF.

[Brando 1,864]

[Dr. Rick 1,157]

Biden was VP from 2009-2017, so technically it could be only 6-7 years since MM first started working on the project.  And yes, that does make me feel old...     My oldest son was 7yrs old 15 yrs ago lol

[Brando 1,864]

There's always a catch

[Dr. Rick 1,157]

Well, Mike just edited his post to reveal it was the Sound of Music.

What film do we think it is?

[John F 100]

So I’ll have to set an alarm to wake up from my thanksgiving food coma at midnight credit card in hand. Bring ‘em on!

[Tallguy 3,398]

$16.98 for The Complete Indiana Jones. An age of miracles!

[Bellosh 3,419]

$39.98 is a 3 CD set right?

That’s how much Spider-Man was, so I imagine so. Perhaps it’s a 3 CD set of Fablemans😂😂

[Yavar Moradi 2,599]

I'm thinking it's Spider-man 2... and hopefully one of the others is Godfather 2.

 

Yavar

[Bounty95 558]

[Edmilson 7,466]

I hope it is Spider-Man 2 containing not only Elfman's original score but also Debney's, Lurie's and Young's contributions, all with their due credits.

 

That's enough material for 3 CDs, right?

[Richard Penna 3,694]

That's an interesting thought... I'd probably buy a set containing everything the others did too.

[Manakin Skywalker 4,897]

They said last year that Spider-Man 2 & 3 were pretty much off limits, so that would be an incredible surprise if they're ever able to do either of them!

I don't believe Lurie worked on 2, outside of presumably having the assistant role for either Elfman or Young.

She is not listed in the end credits like Young or Debney, so you are correct.

[Stark 316]

My guesses would include Godfather 2, Spider-Man 2 (unless it’s not available?), another Quinn Martin set, and of course we’ll get something by Williams, Horner, or Goldsmith. My hotter take is we might get the original Fast and Furious by BT, or the sequel by David Arnold, some time in the near future.

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

I bet the new film/Project 7 is Migration.

 

On 28/9/2023 at 1:16 AM, A. A. Ron said:

I predict the batch will look something like this:
 

The Godfather, Part II
Jurassic Park III

Moonraker

Spider-Man 2 (though I seem to remember rights issues on both 2 & 3)

A Golden/Silver Age Title

 

If there is a Williams, I bet it’s Angela’s Ashes, Born on the Fourth of July or Catch Me If You Can.

 

My main predictions are unchanged.

The miracle of straight reissues. 

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

That probable 3 discer really has me scratching my head…

 

I wonder if Zimmer’s Gladiator is a possibility.

[StarFox 28]

Wasn't Horner's "The Mask of Zorro" in consideration? I thought I may have read that here.

[1977 1,743]

If there is a Goldsmith title, please let it be MacArthur.

Where did they say that? I don't recall them saying that and I can't find that claim on the FSM boards from last year. Was it a comment on their Facebook?

[Smaug The Iron 515]

I guess

Spider-Man 2

Godfather 2 

Moonraker

One Williams titel (I hope Hook or The Terminal)

One or both of the Universal Studios score from the 60s. 

Migration

 

[crocodile 8,017]

The Mask of Zorro is my bet for one of those.

Star Trek and Friday the 13th again?

Hopefully the Black Friday releases will be more special than that.

[Stark 316]

We definitely won’t be getting more Trek, since volume 3 was just announced and these are every two months (I think).

[ddddeeee 257]

I don't think there's been any recent mentions of Spider-Man 2 being unlikely. Though there were plenty quite a few years ago.

 

I would say that Neumation's release of Elfman's original full score for Spider-Man 2 would be an encouraging sign. I remember it being said that they approached Bartek about releasing Spider-Man and he instead wanted them to release Spider-Man 2. 

 

Debney and Young's contributions may complicate matters, but I think a complete version of Elfman's score is possible.

[Richard Penna 3,694]

I actually wouldn't be very interested in a Spidey 2 with just Elfman's music - Debney/Young's replacement cues are really interesting to me.

 

5 hours ago, A. A. Ron said:

I wonder if Zimmer’s Gladiator is a possibility.

 

The complete score is 2 hours so if the alternates/demos/other pieces (quite a bit of it given the MMF and the leak) go over 40 mins, it would be 3 discs, and particularly if they included a rebuilt OST. When Sleepy Hollow's 4-disc came out I wondered if Gladiator would justify the same, but I don't think there's anywhere near as much alternate/bonus material.

[Andy 4,138]

F13 Part IV might be the $16.98 one. That’s consistent with the price on those.   It won’t be Trek TOS vol 4 because those are every other month. 

[bollemanneke 3,349]

Right, so that's Hook, HP4, Terminal, Catch Me If You Can and three other releases I won't have to spend money on yet. Bring it on!
