TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 It's The Big Lebowski with aliens.Hmm...I don't like it a whole lot. I just don't like that alien hand. It doesn't look very much like Spielberg. What's beyond the cover better be worth it, though. (Though I'm not expecting another breakthrough score like Raiders and ET and Jaws).

King Mark 3,631 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Williams had to hurry his ass to write this score.Hopefully,if he went on atuto pilot,he did so in his 80's mode.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Indeed.Ray BarnsburyI say that because he had to hurry to write The Terminal last year,and a lot "classic" Williams writing turned up in there.Well classic in his whimsical light comedy mode,which is not my favourite,but apply that to his adventure mode for WotW.k.M.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yeah, I hope you're right. I read somewhere that the film has something like ten action sequences (), so there's likely to be a lot of action music. Whether it's "fun"/thematic action music a la SW, Indy, SS, Hook, PoA, etc or more rhythmic-based like MR, AotC, and RotS remains to be seen. The former would be very welcome, but I wouldn't be surprised to get the latter.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo 33 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I'm hoping for some good military-esque action march music for the fighter-plane attack on the aliens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam 1 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 The first Star Wars film was followed by Williams doing a Spielberg earthbound sci-fi film, Close Encounters. So it seems fitting that the last Star Wars film is followed by a Spielberg earthbound sci-fi film. The short clips make me think even more of Close Encounters, also. I guess the aliens will be a little less friendly this time.- Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 In Coe3K the aliens seem evil (Barry's Abduction,...)untill it turns out they are friendly at the end.Maybe in the beginning of WotW we will think the aliens are friendly untill they turn out to be evil.So the score could start warmly with "awe inspiring" manifestations of the aliens and turn dissonant as they unleash their destructive power.K.M.

Greg1138 3 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Looks good to me - just a shame that us in the UK have to wait a week longer than everyone else to get our greasy mitts on it!!Greg - who is looking forward to this movie just as much as he looking forward to ROTS...

Hitch 57 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I hope it has either the Orson Welles or Richard Burton voiceover.Hitch, who has been missing for the last 3 weeks. Did I miss anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I hope it has either the Orson Welles or Richard Burton voiceover.I dearly hope NOT!!! I would consider it a massive, massive mistake to rip off earlier versions of the work - radio plays or otherwise.....paying "homage" to earlier incarnations is fine (and Spielberg has done so) - but one of those voiceovers??? Nooooo.....absolutely not...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yeah, I hope you're right. I read somewhere that the film has something like ten action sequences ***spoilers***I read that too, supposedly in one of them Dakota Fanning is being stalked by an alien, and Tom Cruise gets on a forklift while wearing a dirty tank top and fights it to the death, at one point telling it, get away from her you bit**!great cover, much better than way below average Struzan cover.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Listening to Close Encounters of the Third Kind right now. If War of the Worlds is anything as good as this, I'll be one happy puppy. And I love the cover, by the way. I couldn't think of anything more epic looking.

JMan 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I am very excited. I have a feeling like a lot of Speilberg SciFi, the actual music will be a little atonal and complex in the first half, and then into the second half we will hear more of a lyrical theme. I could be way off! But, it wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuBen_Kenobi 19 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Watching the trailer the movie looks like a mixture of CEOT3K (family, normal guy in extreme situation, aliens...) and JP (action scenes, darkness, rain...). I´m really excited (Spielberg is my favourite director). After watching ROTS I was thinking that it would pass a lot of time until I saw a film that was gonna excited me a lot in the cinema, but maybe I was wrong...
