Sandor 798 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 To be honest; I have no clue. Perhaps it's too early to start speculating, since information on the film has been sparse. I'm hoping Williams will write some sort of elegy. I'm just hoping for a beautiful score. Although WOTW is starting to grow on me; please something with a little more thematic backbone this time.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 War of the Worlds is a very good score that I loved upon first listen. I hope Munich does the same. Each new Williams score usually has something interesting for me to find, and I'm sure this will be no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG-SI 10 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Maybe something like The Eiger Sanction. It would be cool if he does music in 70' style.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I think there could definately be some JFK in there- maybe a brand new, kick-ass 'Conspirators' type theme, and probably some of the elegaic stuff, like 'Arlington'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deimos 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I think there can be some variety on the cues, from good action to good drama. But since I know very little about the movie (as most of people do), I don't really what to expect.Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind if we found cues of the same quality as some of the cues from the dustcollectors Steef stated.

SturgisPodmore 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I think this score will be dark and kind of laid back, hopefully with good themes, but does the movie take place after the fact or during the action?

As I said before, I love Padmé's Ruminations and Palpatine's Teachings from RotS very, very much. They would definately be on my Best of JW 4 cd It's just that I would like to do Williams another rich, lush score once again. He still can, like HP:SS showed, so that's what I'm really looking forward to. I'll probably like what comes by in the meantime, but it'won't give me goosebumps I expect.

I feel Williams was restrained in all above mentioned scores (AOTC the most) and even as they are wonderful scores and I love them all I feel one score with that old style would be welcome (It is a long shot and a futile hope but still). POA and ROTS were closest to what I am hoping for. Just a notch higher and it is there. Unbridled Williams.But perhaps we should get back into the subject at hand. I put my dreams and hopes of the Amazing Williams score aside untill Memoirs is released (it is going to be fantastic!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,724 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Little too light for such a dark story.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Do you people reckon John Williams might use some of his own themes he wrote for the Olympic Games? The movie is about that, isn't it, or am I completely confused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
