  1. The inspiration for Indy IV was clearly lacking in ALL departments.

    I'm confident Tintin will fare better.

    Even if it's half as good as his last score to a Spielberg film then... well... it won't be very good. Crystal Skull was a bit tame as far as Williams goes.

    For once, my expectations for a new Williams score aren't high up in the stratosphere. Though I'm still looking forward to it.


    I think he's putting more energy in his outer-film music, concert work during the last 5-6 years or so.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    He has indeed.

    Plus doing concerts all over the US.

  4. He could just bow out quietly. He needn't worry about other composers trying to replace him...

  10. The music I've heard from the last trailer promises great things. I'm hoping for a 'Seven Years in Tibet' kind of sound (without the asian flair of course), and an equally glorious theme.

    Just great... it seems Williams went to a spa, fell asleep and woke up 30 years younger and started to write this score. Its busy, vibrant and has that adventure feel of old. Very much like Temple of Doom.

    For those who can't be arsed to listen to the whole program, someone from ffshrine kindly uploaded just the 16 minutes of music:

    Going on those 16 minutes, I'm all but certain this will be the best score of the year by far!

    IMO, I don't think it's THE best of the year - that belongs securely to Mark McKenzie's The GREATEST MIRACLE - but from what I've heard of WAR HORSE it will most likely be the second Williams score on my Top 10 this year!

    Haha, I really love envisioning Williams waking up younger. I haven't been this excited about a score in a very long time.

    Edited: Just realized it was released. Going to buy it today along with Jurassic Park on Blu-ray!

    Nightwatch/Killer by Night (1965/1972)
    Music by John Williams and Quincy Jones

    http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/cds/detail.cfm?cdID=470

    This FSM CD presents the premiere release of two scores for CBS telefilms, both made as pilots for series that never materialized, composed by two well-known and influential Hollywood giants.
    Composer John Williams and director Robert Altman famously collaborated on two feature films: Images (1972) and The Long Goodbye (1973). But their personal and professional relationship had begun in television nearly a decade earlier, on Revue's Kraft Mystery Theatre and Kraft Suspense Theatre. Altman's final Kraft Suspense episode had been "Once Upon a Savage Night" (later released theatrically as Nightmare in Chicago), shot on location around the Windy City using a special film stock that permitted nighttime filming with available light. After forming his own production company, Altman pitched a pilot for another series to be shot at night on location near the Great Lakes, at first dubbed Chicago, Chicago, but later retitled Nightwatch.

    John Williams scored the Nightwatch pilot ("The Suitcase") in late 1965 and early 1966, creating a dynamic main theme and a suspenseful episode score. When CBS passed on the show, it remained unseen until Jul 15, 1968, when the network aired it on an anthology of busted pilots under the title "A Walk in the Night."

    Shortly after serving as musical director for the Oscar telecast in April 1971, Quincy Jones began work on The City by Night, starring Robert Wagner and Greg Morris as a Los Angeles doctor and cop, respectively, who must track down a murderous diphtheria victim wreaking havoc in the city. The film (with a last-minute name change to Killer by Night), aired on the January 7, 1972, installment of The New CBS Friday Night Movies, but the network decided not to pick it up for a series.

    Jones’s score, heavy on winds and percussion, combines his authoritative jazz sensibility with unique sonorities and compelling rhythms to effectively capture the story’s menace. A reserved but romantic love theme balances out the murky harmonies and harsh dissonance of the score’s darker, more aggressive passages.

    FSM has remastered both scores from the only surviving sources: ¼” monaural tapes, given a slight stereo ambience for listenability. (The series theme and format music for Nightwatch are exceptions, presented here in vibrant genuine stereo, remixed by Mike Matessino.) The 20-page booklet designed by Joe Sikoryak contains authoritative notes on both films by Jeff Eldridge, plus track-by-track analyses by Eldridge and Frank K. DeWald.

    I wonder what that means? Mono sound isn't completely unlistenable!

    And yet again, a Williams item surfaces that I've never even heard of (and that says a lot, since I like to pride myself in knowing about every single thing he's done), much like the ELEVENTH HOUR tv score awhile back.

    Chucks, I need to get this, then.
    I am extremely serious.

    I think it adds a bit of warmth and size to the sound.
