Paul,

Did you suddenly lose all of your senses? After all your praise of John Williams when we were kids. You of all people (who next to me was the biggest fan of STAR WARS) have the balls to state that he shouldn't do Episode VIII? I just wish I had a Delorean with a Mr. Fusion attached, so I can go back in time to Pleasantville of 1977, land on the lawn of your Sarles Lane home and slap the shit out of you.

Disappointed Peter.


Peter! Despite your chastisement, it's still great to hear from you! How long has it been? 34 years???

Anyway...no, John Williams is still the top man. I just wish he'd focus his talent into something different. I'd rather hear him write another score like The Fury, or Monsignor, or Angela's Ashes. I think Star Wars movies have run their course.

Point is at this stage of his career, Williams only seems to do two types of scores, namely SW and Spielberg movies (even that is not a given). So another Fury, Monsignor or Angela's Ashes seems unlikely. I'd rather he score SW saga films, Indy 5 and whatever Spielberg ends up doing, than nothing.

Paul,

I was only half kidding, of course. But, as far as I'm concerned, it's not an official STAR WARS episode if Williams isn't at the helm. I don't care if they have to strap him to the podium and have someone wave his hand to conduct the orchestra. It's not STAR WARS without John Williams. And I'm sorry for always being such a pain in the ass, but I still remember you fondly. Just don't talk smack about Williams again or I swear, I will tell Sarah Hubertus that you still want her.

Demanding Peter

At this point, any new score is great news for me. As new scores go, the Kobe Bryant animation short film thing has me most excited though I don't really have any idea what to expect. It is nice when he gets different kinds of opportunities. For a long time I've wanted him to do a sports film or animation (Tintin doesn't really count for me) and low and behold he is going to combine both.

Force Awakens was a surprisingly good listen considering the film was very straightforward and uninventive. If the film goes in different direction at all, it may be in requiring Williams to be even more muscular than the typical Star Wars action music and then Rey's theme which is a different kind of theme than what he has done. I would love Episode 8 to be like Oscar Isaac said recently when he said this is more like an independent film. Probably won't be but I'd love to have Williams score something that combines more of the intimate with the epic - with more atmosphere, more emotional range, something along these lines. Not holding my breath though.

It's ok -- I'm sorry for eating all your pop tarts and borrowing all your soundtracks to tape because I was too cheap to buy my own!

eek What ever happened to Sarah? (You have an unnervingly excellent memory by the way!)

I can't find that he's confirmed for the film...anyone know?


Report confirming he will be scoring which is hardly surprising but awesome news nonethless...

He just said so a little while ago at tonight's Film Night concert at Tanglewood.

He sees a cut for the first time in a couple of weeks.

Apparently we have Daisy Ridley to thank as main reason for Williams returning to score Episode VIII....he doesn't want another composer scoring her scenes. Interesting....

Is it REALLY here, or is it just projecting?
