Sandor 797 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 To be honest 2005 was a great year in terms of looking forward to certain cinematic and scoring projects. Star Wars Episode III (score and film), War of the Worlds (score and film), Memoirs of a Geisha (score), Munich (score and film), King Kong (score and film), The Goblet of Fire (score and film)... I mean; 4 new Williams scores was something to sustain me this past year and the final Star Wars film, 2 Steven Spielberg films, a new Peter Jackson film... Now 2007 may bring Battle Angel, Indiana Jones IV, the Abraham Lincoln film, but to be honest my geeky side isn't too hot for 2006. First; I have the feeling Williams isn't going to score any film and I'm not really into Superman. Any projects you're interested in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 When did we find out Spielberg was making Munich anyway? At the speed this guys shoots, we could very well have another Spielberg film just around the corner.I hope he scores some period drama or something like that. I don't think there are that many action-adventure potential projects that I find appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yeah, of course I personally can't wait for 2007, to finally see the fourth Indiana Jones. When I first heard of it, it should have opened on July, 4th 2005 and that date was so far in the future...now that date belongs to the past, and the project was postponed many many times...2006 will be the year of Die Hard 4.0 .I'm interested both in the movie and the score. The movie, because the actual trilogy is one of my favourite ever, and I can't wait to see Bruce Willis as John McClane once again.And I'm curious about the score. The trilogy featured 3 brilliant score by Michael Kamen, but now that he's gone, I'm interestd on how the new composer will score this. I don't know if the new composer has already been hired (no word of it at IMDb) though. I expect a great action score. Who do you think it's the ideal composer for this project? Maybe John Powell or Graeme Revell? Or maybe Michael Giacchino or John Debney? Just guessing...But I think that, if we don't consider John Williams, this 2005 hasn't been a great year IMO. Nothing really great and memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Kingdom of Heaven, The Corpse Bride and Legend of Zorro were excellent scores(despite what Neil thinks). Hostage, History of Violence, Cinderella Man, Harry Potter, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory were also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeruid 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I think we might hope for this new year, Spielberg´s Lincoln, or the new Columbus movie about a superhero... Bot will be surely scored by Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 797 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Where's the "other" Roald? How come we never get to see him?Because this is a John Williams fanboard. I've already said I'm very dualistic when it comes to film. If this was an Ingmar Bergman board or an Andrei Tarkovsky chatroom things would be different. But for me, John Williams symbolizes that other world of cinema that I love: the world of Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis and all. The Hollywood filmscape. Of course I can post about my enthusiasm for the Coen Brothers or the Dogma films in here, but I don't really feel the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
