John Williams is perhaps best known for his work. with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, but his theme Superman Can defeat them all. It's a theme that transcends Williams' involvement with the character. And it has become almost as essential to him as the S on his chest, James Gunn. Definitely think so.
“That soundtrack is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.” Superman Director James Gunn Said at a recent press conference, “When I was a child What I liked most about this movie was the music. That's what I bring home more than anyone else.”
Therefore, it is not surprising that When the first trailer for Gunn's interpretation or the character was released Williams' theme is there. That was the plan from day one, but back then.
“I knew from the beginning what I wanted to do with music,” says Gunn. “I thought about it a lot. Are we going to do something completely different? Will we use Williams' theme?… I know we're doing something that's nostalgic and also looks forward to the future. So it's about finding that balance.”
The balance between not just the past and the future, but also John Williams and John Murphy.
“John Murphy is a songwriter I love to work with. And he started working on the music before the script was even finished,” says Gunn. “He was one of the first people to do it. I gave this part to Peter. Safran and a few others so he could start writing songs for it. And I said 'I want to use a version of the Williams theme. But I want to do our own version.’ And that's what you hear. (in the example)”
Gunn then teased how the new style will be used against Williams. “What an amazing thing. That's how it leads to so many other pieces,” he says. “Some of it comes back to Williams' theme. But some of the stories are John's. Pure Murphy” it goes in there, comes back out, and uses it beautifully throughout the story. And John has been working non-stop for nearly two years. By collecting the scores together.”
That's what dreams looked like when children saw them. Superman in july They had the same reaction that Gunn had to Richard Donner's 1978 film, a great film. But there's even better music.
