John Williams Scoring Star Wars Ep. VII and Posting Schedule.

Finally some awesome news about the Star Wars Ep. VII, the greatest composer to ever live, John Williams is officially signed on to score the new Star Wars film! This is the best news to come from the new Star Wars trilogy since the old cast was returning. Star Wars just is not Star Wars without Williams' legendary score. Hopefully Williams will live long enough to score all three of the new trilogy, although I wonder if he will be involved with the standalone side films also in production. On other Star Wars news, Dave Filoni answered a few questions at a panel, although he revealed almost nothing about the series. What are your thoughts on this breaking news of Williams' return? Please comment below. Also please check back tomorrow for details on how J and J Productions will be expanding into social media. Here are the upcoming posts.

Note: Any day after Tuesday I may go see, and therefore review, the Wolverine, so it would push one of the posts on the list and move Friday's post to the next Tuesday. However, there is a good chance that I will have to wait a few weeks for the movie to be released in a theater near me.

 

Monday: Bloglovin', Facebook, Twitter, and More.

Tuesday: Coming Soon: August 2013 (by Jordan)

Wednesday: Serenity Review (Firefly Review Part 4).

Thursday: Man of Steel Sequel Villains: Part 2.

Friday: Return of the King: Book Vs Movie: Part 1.

 

Note: When I stated yesterday that I was going to post my video tribute next week, I meant next week from Sunday, not Saturday, which means sometime after next Monday.

Superman Theme: New and Old.

For the Man of Steel Countdown I have posted one of the greatest film themes of all-time, the original 1978 Superman theme composed by John Williams. It would easily rank among my Top 15 if not Top 10, film scores of all-time. I consider Williams' third or fourth best score after Star Wars, Indiana Jones and maybe Jurassic Park, but I believe Superman just beats it out. Few pieces of music are this iconic and recognizable, and make you feel so heroic. As for Hans Zimmer's new score in Man of Steel, from what has been released, it sounds good. While it will never replace Williams' theme, I look forward to seeing (and hearing) how it will be used in the new film. While highly unlikely and virtually impossible, it would be completely awesome if Man of Steel ended with John Williams' classic theme as Superman flies off. What are your thoughts on this iconic theme and on Zimmer's theme?

Note: Although I originally planned to post a "Name That Soundtrack" trivia today, I had an idea for this, so here it is.
