Of course I welcome the announcement of Williams or any great composer getting another franchise assignment because they will figure out how to bring something new to it more than your average composer. And yet these don't excite me as much as new subject matter or some new challenge that would inspire a new sound or approach. To boldly go where no composer has gone before. But that's another story.
I have to agree with that. I love his STAR WARS music as much as the next guy, but the mind boggles when it thinks of what Williams could do if he got a really challenging, more cerebral film to work with in his old age -- like IMAGES. I'd like to see him tap into that territory again (it's not that farfetched -- several composers these days, like Jonny Greenwood for Paul T. Anderson, nurture a similarly avantgarde sound).
I think Lincoln fit that bill!

What? John Williams is scoring Star Wars 8?
I believe I knew this fact two years ago.
Boring Thread...
Ok back to normal.

Ye gawds they are going to suck Williams dry until he reaches his grave, then will extract DNA from his brain cells, to get more SW music out of him.
And I guess he is suffering all the way to the bank...

Could he have been scoring the first teaser trailer?

John, we've already covered THAT in a different thread, too. Come on, man.

Why are people here so touchy about who started threads? Jesus...
I couldn't care less on who starts a thread, it is just that having 3 (or much more..) threads on the same movie is a bummer. I researched some more or less old movies recently and it is very often the case, and we are dealing with an upcoming movie here, it's not hard to find/remember that there was one or two already. Because then you have multiple discussions running in parallel, redundancy, and it is much nicer to have the whole project history in one place (see current Logan or Split threads)
To put it simply, creating a new thread each time a movie is finally assigned / switches composers / has title reveal / changes title / co-composer added / whatever is really unnecessary and impractical, imho, that's all.
No big deal, there are much bigger issue on Earth for sure (and it has been discussed a million times before), but please be reasonable, because once this has started it's too late (I don't even know where to post this). And I am off on this.
Back to the subject: Title is nice, simple, intriguing ("Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" were king of goofy, even if on purpose). Will we have a lot of "Luke's theme", that has not been used much in a while?
Recording session already: great. I suppose Williams will switch to "Ready Player One" before going back for final editing late summer? Or is the movie ready that early?

Not clear from what I've seen quoted if that is what he is planning on doing.
Well yes. The seven words "wants to use the score for editing" could mean a lot of things, and I'm guessing the truth is a lot more nuanced.
These days, a movie like this is continually tweaked until right up to release, making the scoring a bit of a chicken/egg proposition. But I'd have to guess large sections of the movie are in rough and not-so-rough shape now, and that in general, Williams is scoring to some sort of picture, even if that picture is flexible. To me, that's a nice balance, a symbiotic melding of music and picture. But of course, there is no one way to do any of this, and no one way to do it wrong, for that matter.
