Sandor 797 Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Stefancos is absolutely right; Spielberg LOVES Zimmer's music! It was Spielberg who attracted Zimmer and his Media Ventures to Dreamworks. Remember guys; I hope I'm wrong, but I really have a bad feeling about this...Yes, Williams' name was not on the teaser posters /trailers for Harry Potter BUT I never claimed that. I said that Williams has always been on the earliest teaser posters for STEVEN SPIELBERG films (even when Kahn or Kaminski were NOT yet mentioned).Roald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 797 Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 OK, more bad news.On MSN they run a coverage on the most anticipated films of 2005. Ofcourse Revenge Of The Sith is there as is King King or The Chronicles Of Narnia. Notice that all these films have a composer credited. War Of The Worlds is also on that list. Please look at the following link:http://movies.msn.com/movies/movie.aspx?m=572132&mp=cThis is disturbing guys! As you can see Kaminski or Kahn ARE mentioned this time, but John Williams is still not officially attached to this project. Is Spielberg looking for another composer, because John will be too busy scoring Revenge Of The Sith? I think so. Roald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 (Who just found out a guy called Jeff Wayne might be scoring WOTW - Hmmm... wondering if that is some kind of shadowname for tha Zimmer.....)You know, there is a lovely irony here. The whole "War of the Worlds" idea derives from Orson Welles' radio experiment, where he convinced half of America that it was being invaded, thus collapsing interstates and subways. And here you are, with exactly the same feeling of paranoia that moved those guys that day, jumping to conclusions just because... well, if there is a cause.Jeff Wayne is the author of the War of the Worlds musical (or whatever that project is considered) that's now a cult classic adaptation from the novel. There is, apparently, an animated WotW version coming up that's using the Jeff Wayne music. Many fans feel Spielberg's version should also use Wayne's music, so feel free to take that sentiment as official and loose some night's sleep. Just enjoy Williams' score when it comes out.

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I agree with Road.Something is not right.I assume Williams may end up scoring the picture after all,but for now I think he's not officially attached to the film untill he finishes RotS.Maybe he didn't like beeing rushed for Terminal,for which the release date was delayed because he was still working on Potter.He recorded Potter in Febuary also,but it seems he might have had to work on it after that.Another important factor may be Tom Cruise.He's the one that wanted Zimmer for The Last Samurai,and maybe he's argueing with Spielberg to bring him on WotW,plus add to that that Spielberg likes Zimmers music,it doesbn't look good.K.M.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 From what I hear, Cruise likes Williams as much as Zimmer. I really don't think Spielberg is that much of a tool to just dump his best mate and bring a hack on board. If that happened, Williams would never score his movies again.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Okay, did you guys SEE the Kennedy Center Honors? Spielberg said that Williams was the "greatest thing that has ever happened to [his] career" and he's half-joked that Williams is the main reason he's still making movies. And Tom Cruise, who regularly attends Williams' recording sessions, is going to force Steven Spielberg to use Hans Zimmer instead? Right.

TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I've heard rumors that Ben Burtt's going to replace Mike Kahn, due to the kind of cutting that's going to be needed for the heavy FX that WotW's going to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be Williams, so stop the childish hysteria, it's almost embarassing.I'm far from feeling hysterical about this. I think it just might be interesting to hear what Williams would make of it (but I know this will never happen, unless Spielberg is a big fan of Wayne's album). There's a synth coda in Wayne's music that could be transformed into a wonderful eerie string line. I'm sure many people will dig it when done right, when done Williams.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I really WANT Williams to score Revenge Of The Sith, Memoirs Of A Geisha AND The War Of The Worlds in 2005.Something tells me that ain't gonna happen. It worries me ok? King Mark, arguably the only believer here, made an excellent point: The Terminal. Williams couldn't really finish The Terminal the way he and Spielberg wanted it to. It got delayed and sort of flopped. Do we really think the executives want the same sort of shit to happen to War Of The Worlds? Ofcourse not. War Of The Worlds NEEDS to make big money. It cannot delay in any way. And we know that nowadays, sadly, people in the film industry obviously regard Zimmer's music as 'commercial' and therefore the man is very popular.

I'm just placing myself in the position of those stubborn, old Hollywood executives! Believe me; it THEIR mind (not mine) the Media Ventures represent all that is succesful and commercial in music nowadays. Obviously films like King Arthur or Pearl Harbor already proved to me that Zimmer nor his associates cannot make a film more commercialy succesful. On the other hand; they probably also don't make it worse. John Williams couldn't 'save' The Patriot back in 200 either. Maybe film music simply doesn't have that kind of effect. Still there was something this year that made the producers of Troy reject Yared's score and opted for a more (in THEIR mind) commercial approach by hiring Horner on the last minute.
