Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I concur, GOOD GOD!!! Though I wish there was new music. Trelawney look hilarious, and Buckbeak looks great. The dementors are more fluid than I expected, but it didn't show enough to judge. The punch at the end made me giddy. Damn, that girl is something!Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaft 1,708 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Was that a brief snippet of electronic action music (ala Crimebusters or Setting The Trap) that I heard during the Knight-Bus sequence, or do my ears decieve me?-Frank (also giddy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 2,924 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I don't recognise the music from 0.00 to 1.11,or is it some creepy cue from PS or CoS that I don't remember?K.M.Who rarely forgets a Williams cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 388 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Was that a brief snippet of electronic action music (ala Crimebusters or Setting The Trap) that I heard during the Knight-Bus sequence, or do my ears decieve me?That particular passage got me pretty giddy, too, Frank. It makes me wonder -- is Williams actually going to start getting adventurous with his music for the Harry Potter series? So far, the music has been, to me, enervating in its traditionality. "That's cool, Johnny, but haven't you said all of this before?" I want him to do something new, something risky or genre-defying, and yet still maintain an ambience that is distinctly, unmistakably Harry Potter. That's what I'm hoping for in the 'Azkaban' score.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I wondered about the Knight Bus music too, it sounded cool but unfamiliar. I would love for Williams to try something a little techno like that for PoA (used sparingly and tastefull, of course). In any case, I'm sure he won't disappoint, for me at least, and I hope you end up liking the score, Alan!Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Love the trailer! I don't want to speak to soon, but it looks like the hiring Alfonso Cuaron to take over the reigns of director from Columbus has proven to be a very wise move. It looks amazing!Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 2,924 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I would love for Williams to try something a little techno like that for PoA ( So you want it to sound like Don Davis or Hans Zimmer would score it...please no,I like my Williams traditionnal.But since this movie is beeing somewhat marketed as a trendy movie about teen "angst" in some regards,i wouldn't be surprised to hear some technoy cues,but I hope very little.Other than that some of the music in the trailer sounds like some of the darker cues in ToD.K.M.Trepid about those few techno bars in the Knight Bus clip.

Adam 1 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'd say that first stuff isn't JW. It kind of seems like somone wrote it to try to fit the trailer, only the pacing is really off and the orchestrations pretty amateur. The techno stuff is brief and hard to hear over the noise but, from what I can hear of it, it feels too cheap for a HP movie. Is this what the Magic Box people were supposed to do? Great trailer, though. I feel even more strongly now that the new director is likely to give the film a more stylized and imaginaitive interpretation. That should mean a more interesting score. - Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't know better, I'd think you were making a very, very sarcastic joke, which would be funny . . . but since I know you're serious, it's just sad.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Doesn't mean he's using an overhead projector - clearly he doesn't, because as you well know, electronic devices do not work at Hogwarts.You know, that's a nasty plot hole that has been bothering me for a while. I believe Harry has a watch. Or at least someone has, because you need to know what time it is to get to class in time. But does it work? Or do they have a special magic watch with their uniforms? Or is time a magical thing, and are things that show time (watches) not affected by all the other spells? Hmm...As for the changes... I'm thinking this is more the kind of creativity JKR might have wanted with the movies. If I'm not mistaken, first choice for directing was Terry Gilliam, a director who's not a stranger to bizarre films and items. I like that they've given this one a little twist, whether Kloves or Cuarón is responsible for it.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain how the entire film can be bad from one prop.Third. That stupid head is making jokes.You really hate that head. Was your dog killed by a shrunken head? Again, how is this convincing you that the film will be bad?Fourth there is a huge clock which i can't rememebr in the bookYes, huge clocks automatically make a movie bad.You've listed every reason why you won't like this movie based off of maybe 5 minutes of footage (some of it possibly repeated), and most of the reasons are very shallow. Now, I'll accept that you don't like Cuaron for this film, but beyond that, you have not been able to articulate why you have such a deep rooted hatred of this movie and everything in it. If you hate it so much in advance, are you even going to bother with the soundtrack, or will you buy it just to tell us how lousy it's going to be based now off of John's music.And as for an HP film having "cheap CGI" (the way you described the still photo of Buckbeak) the first film had some pretty rotten effects (even the film makers acknowledged this) but its still a great movie.In the end you are allowed to dislike this film, but please, can you back up those arguments a little with something a bit more thought out?Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
