Greg1138 3 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 2 has got to be Harrison Ford.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaytee 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Nice questions. Pretty tough1. Emma Watson? Given the recent events on HP this would explain the up till now comment. I'm sure there's another answer to this though. 2. Harrison Ford. Star Wars x 3, Indie x 3, Presumed Innocent and Sabrina3. Er not sure about this one. Chris Columbus has served as director with Williams 5 times (HP 1+2, Home Alone 1+2, Stepmom) and then once as producer, does that count. The question does not say he's always serving as director.

Morlock 11 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 2 is Ford.3 Might be Delbert Mann (including TV works), but I sincerely doubt it (I can only think of 3 of his). Columbus is 5, Altman is 3-4 (not sure how many TV movies they did). I must come to the conclusion that there is no director Williams has worked with 6 times.I also can't think of an actress who's played the lead only in JW movies.

Falstaft 2,132 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 1. Carrie Fisher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yeah, I was thinking Carrie Fisher too. Has she ever done any real leading lady stuff outside of the Star Wars trilogy?2 is obviously Harrison Ford3 I don't know.EDIT: A search on IMDB lists three directors Williams is credited with 6 times, but all works are for TV.They are:Earl Bellamy- Bachelor Father (1957)- M Squad (1957)- Tales of Wells Fargo (1957)- Wagon Train (1957)- The Virginian (1962)- Kraft Suspense Theatre (1963)Herschel Daugherty- General Electric Theater (1953)- Wagon Train (1957)- Checkmate (1960)- Alcoa Premiere (1961)- The Virginian (1962)- The Time Tunnel (1966)Bernard Girard- M Squad (1957)- Wagon Train (1957)- Checkmate (1960)- Alcoa Premiere (1961)- The Virginian (1962)- Kraft Suspense Theatre (1963)IMDB of course, leaves something to be desired, especially when it comes to Television work. It's just that he's credited alongside these three directors, it doesn't mean he actually worked with them. You'll even find Lourent Bouzereau is credited most often along with Williams, except for Steven Spielberg, while all Willliams' music in Bouzereau's work is of course tracked from Spielberg films.You'll also find other occasions for this (for instance, there's a Malcolm in the Middle in there somewhere, because they used music from Raiders in one episode).So this is the best I can do on question three.- Marc, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 He quite possibly never worked with any of those directors, they happened to direct an episode of those TV shows, and he happened to score an episode. The chances that they worked together multiple times is actually very slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 3 - Irwin Allen? Towering Inferno, Poseidon, Land of the Giants, Time Tunnell......erm......ermmmm........OK, maybe not....bseides, I think Irwin Allen was more Producer than Director on most of those....

John Crichton 4 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Emma Watson seems like too obvious an answer for #1. I think it's someone else, maybe Carrie Fisher. Maybe not. I don't know. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composer_Fan 2 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Carrie Fisher was in Austin Powers, so she's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 She did not play a leading role in Austin Powers. besides, I'm pretty sure she played some leading roles on other movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 1) I was gonna say Tyger Lucas, but I didn't catch the "leading" part. Must be Watson then.2) Harrison Ford3) Chris Columbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 1. Emma Watson. She's a girl to be envied. She's the only actress who's played leads ONLY in movies scored by JW. Up until now. I think she's got a great career ahead of her.2. Harrison Ford. 3. Chris Columbus. On HP3 he acted as producer as well as an uncredited co-director. I think JW really enjoys working with CC and that part of the reason he agreed to do HP3 is because CC was still on board. Good guessing, everybody!!!

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 3. Chris Columbus. On HP3 he acted as producer as well as an uncredited co-director.Whoa, boy. Co-director? Isn't that a bit of a stretch? He just supervised Cuaron, and that's very noticeable on-screen. I think JW really enjoys working with CC and that part of the reason he agreed to do HP3 is because CC was still on board. On that I agree.

Josh500 1,615 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Even if they don't realize the importance of having been in movies scored by JW, they eventually will. I think right now they're too caught up in their own stardom, which is quite understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
