The trailer is all dreamy so I'm not holding my breath for the score. Going by his music one would never guess 1917 and Operation Mincemeat were war films. Those scores could easily come from any modern thriller (like The Little Things).It's the same shtick he's been doing the last couple of years. He sounds settled and pleased with his current MO. The last time he surprised me was with Victoria & Abdul which was one of my favorite scores of 2017. Like Desplat, he seems to be in a rut.

I know the book did the same thing, but the connection to Wonder here seems ridiculously tangential.
No kidding. For those who haven't seen the trailer, the premise of the film is that the bully from Wonder is told the story of a teenage love affair in Nazi Germany by his grandmother, played by Helen Mirren. I can't think of a looser spinoff to a hit film. The actual title is White Bird: A Wonder Story, but given one of Mirren's recent films I think they should have gone for Wonder Woman In Gold.
Still, as always looking forward to a new Thomas Newman score (though not looking forward to a new Marc Forster film).

The movie dropped off the October schedule with no new release date announced yet, so I doubt we'll be hearing the score any time soon.

First, Operation Mincemeat was delayed from January to April, and ended up being pretty underwhelming (even for me...)
In February, Dog was released with a lovely, if unremarkable 25-minute score... but not even one minute made available in any form.. not even digital.
I mean.. when was the last time I had to tape music from the telly!?
Even Of Mice and Men - surely a prestige project for Newman... not even a small snippet made available.
Is his agent on vacation for the whole year?
Now White Bird, both movie & score, seem to have disappeared without a trace. This major (?) movie had an official trailer released, announcing the theatrical release date, and then.... nothing....
And possibly due to scheduling issues with him scoring this film, Empire of Light goes to Reznor & Ross instead...
Conclusion: it's really not an easy time to be a Thomas Newman fan!!

This is so true. I was really looking forward to hearing his score for White Bird and it would be fabulous to hear his Of Mice and Men. Hopefully A Man Named Otto arrives in December with a lot of music! I really liked the score for Dog, is it available anywhere to listen to?

Another delay...
2022 has not been a great year for Thomas Newman score releases.
