Doze Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Relax it is not Star Wars but was for a Steven Spielberg movie called Bridge of Spies. Last winter we got a first look at Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks on the set of their the-untitled cold war thriller. Since then, we’ve learned that the title was Bridge of Spies and that John Williams was composing the score. However, only one of those tidbits has proven to be true as a press release (with the first official still from the film you can see below) has revealed that American Beauty and Skyfall composerThomas Newman will score the film instead. The release says, “John Williams’ schedule was interrupted and he was unavailable to score the film due to a minor health issue, now corrected.” And the good news is that Williams will still get back with Spielberg for another collaboration to compose the score The BFG next.

Doze Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 The London Symphony Orchestra will NOT perform TFA...Link: http://www.starwars.com/news/john-williams-to-record-star-wars-the-force-awakens-score-in-los-angeles JOHN WILLIAMS TO RECORD STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS SCORE IN LOS ANGELESJohn Williams is currently hard at work composing the score for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which will be recorded in Los Angeles. For the recording of the score, Williams will work with members of the superb freelance orchestra with which he’s recorded numerous film scores over the years. The music will be recorded over several months while working in tandem with the film’s editorial and special effects teams on the West Coast. While previous films in the saga were scored at Abbey Road with the celebrated London Symphony Orchestra, this will be the first time a Star Wars score has been recorded in the United States. “I’ve had the privilege of working with the very best musicians in both the U.K. and the U.S.,” says Williams. “The London Symphony Orchestra has consistently performed with great artistry on all six of the prior films in the Star Wars saga, and I will be forever grateful for their commitment and dedication. Equally, it has been my honor to have worked with my brilliant colleagues in Los Angeles, and always appreciate the invaluable contribution they’ve made to my scores and to those of other composers.” Star Wars: The Force Awakens is scheduled for release on December 18, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doze Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Looks like it is not health but a 3 month scheduling problem.

They’re recording the score over 3 months in LA. Impossible for us.— London Symphony Orch (@londonsymphony) March 23, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
