Alexandre Desplat Is No Stranger To Taking On The Works Of John Williams

Oscar Winner, Alexandre Desplat Is No Stranger To Taking On A John Williams Classic.

So Alexandre Desplat has been chosen to score the Gareth Edwards Star Wars standalone movie, Rogue One. This has been met by mixed responses by fans. It's inevitable that some fans are disappointed that John Williams is not performing his magic once more but we knew this day was coming. The original Star Wars composer is in his eighties and retirement has been mentioned many times.

So step up Alexandre Desplat. Lets not forget that Desplat is fresh off an Oscar win and kind of emulating John Williams with having two of his scores nominated at the same time (The Imitation Game and the eventual winner, The Grand Budapest Hotel.)

But what will the new composer be like taking over a John Williams classic? Well I think he will do just fine. You only have to look at his Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows work to get some idea of Desplat's work and how he can still bring in a tip of the hat to previous composers but still bring his own influence to a soundtrack.

Here's the end credits written and composed by Alexandrew Desplat. Note how he incorporates 'Hedwig's Theme' into the piece, referencing John Williams signature piece for Harry Potter.

He will do just fine.

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
