Star Wars: Rogue One -- Gareth Edwards Has Chosen a Composer

Star Wars: Rogue One Gets a Composer - But Not Who You

Might Think

Gareth Edwards, the director of the first standalone Star Wars film, Rogue One, has made his choice of composer - and it appears that Alexandre Desplat will have the honor. The composer confirmed it himself in an interview with Radio Classique, a French podcast dedicated to classical music.

That's right - John Williams will not be on board for Rogue One - although he will be composing the score for this year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. After being synonymous with Star Wars for so long, it seems strange to see someone other than Williams even considered. Still, Desplat is an excellent talent, and it's not the first time he's stepped into a franchise where John Williams had previously been attached - One need only to look to the fine work he did on the scores for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2.

Desplat has worked with Edwards previously on 2014's Godzilla, and he was recently nominated for an Oscar for his work on The Imitation Game, and took home the Oscar for his original score for The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's probably safe to say Star Wars will be in good hands - Just as it has been with Kevin Kiner composing for both The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated series.

Star Wars: Rogue One is due in theaters on December 16, 2016.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

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

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut: Well, the ans
