    @antovolk have you heard about who is composing the score for this? I’ve seen things on Twitter about Hans Zimmer or his company being associated with it but nothing official. Would be great if they can get him on board or at least if we got something official about WHO is doing the score. 

    Only that Dan Romer is indeed out. Last name mentioned was Benjamin Wallfisch but nothing solid, though the guys who broke the Romer news have heard it is indeed not Zimmer but one of his Remote Control Productions people.

    Reaction/description from NolanFans forum

     



    - Extremely tense
    - Typical „Nolan feeling“
    - Music like an extended version of the teaser-track
    - No cross cutting this time (the prologue takes place at one location)
    - there is a small reel at the end of the scene with shots of 4 more locations
    - we saw most of the main cast although the prologue scene is focused on JDWs character
    - I would say 75% IMAX - some dialogue scenes in 70mm
    - Almost no handheld cinematography - everything is very steady
    - I spotted no distracting extras

    It was the Opera „terrorist“ scene in Tallin with a small reel at the end. We saw JDW in action most of the time. Robert Pattinson, Debicki and Branagh (he holds her hostage) only in the reel. A shot from the Denmark windpark, one aerial from Italy and a backwards car crash in Tallin that jdw and pattinson are witnessing confused.

    Also - trailer runtime is 2:07

    I knew  that the chain management would give the manager some special instructions about specific trailers.

    But at least in the US over 90% of the time the last trailer before the feature starts is from the feature film studio. I can't help but think there is a physical reason for this.

    But people talk about a trailer from one studio being "attached" to a film from another studio, and that just does not happen.

    Yes, in the States it's all much more formal and a product of negotiations between studios/exhibitors. Generally one/two trailers from the same studio are guaranteed 'attached' to all screenings. I'm guessing that's a hold over from the 35mm days where the trailers from the same studio were physically spliced in - hell, same with recent 70mm releases too from Warners here in the UK. Dunkirk had BR2049, Justice League and (for IMAX 70mm prints) The Last Jedi attached, Joker had the Tenet teaser attached to prints. 

     

    Anyway the prologue - an extended preview like this - is surely a product of more complex discussion between WB and Disney. Disney absolutely will - and in the case of Dunkirk did - have a say as to which venues could play it.

    Dan Romer was confirmed as the composer months ago, but as for singer and songwriter, there's been nothing yet. 

     

    It's not particularly serious if we don't hear about anything until January (3 months before release) on this front-the singers for Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace were announced at a similar timeframe, and it wasn't until Skyfall was 4-6 weeks away that Adele's involvement was confirmed.

    There was a rumour a few weeks ago that Romer has left the film...

    Will the 6 min prologue be only at select imax or all of them. Accordingly I want to plan my SW9 ticket. Otherwise I was planning Dolby show. We will not know for sure until a week or so from the release. I dont see SW9 releasing on 15/70

    Yeah SW won't be getting 1570 so they won't be precious with it format wise. All depends on the Mouse, apparently Disney was the reason Dunkirk's didn't play all IMAX locations.

    Yup, this is absolutely 😮😱 Believe the hype, Deakins is definitely coming for Oscar numero dos and Newman's score is utterly incredible...in so many ways it feels unashamedly like a response and contrast to DUNKIRK, similarly experiential and visceral and yet does everything that film chose not to do..more old-school in its structure and approach to character and ultimately, the boots on the ground POV just as immersive as the epic scope of IMAX there. Atmos + Dolby Vision really suck you in here - Dolby Cinema is the way to see this.

     As easy it might be to get into arguments over which film is betrw they are ultimately, I'd say, companion pieces complementing each other almost perfectly. It's apples and oranges, different wars aside, they are ultimately different approaches to achieving this immersive experience. 

    Cast is as good as you'd expect but again, it's all about the overall experience, intensity and craft. Though Though it does fall into the same 'issue' of the big names ultimately being not much more than glorified cameos, but the story isn't about them, it's about MacKay and Chapman and they are brilliant. 

    A few other random thoughts:
    - if it wasn't already obvious enough, Dolby Cinema / Atmos > IMAX 

    - now we know why that second trailer was...like that
    - if this isn't proof a DEATH STRANDING movie going all in on those fetch quests could kick serious arse..
    - shades of Apocalypse Now
    - again, Deakins and Newman just steal the show
    - Oh, and, there's an image (because you can't really say shot lol) in this that's gonna generate so many OMG CINEMATIC PARALLELS MENDES WAS CLEARLY INSPIRED BY MARVEL tweets 😝

    Dolittle | Jan 17 2020 | Universal | 16% RT | Winner of the Kids Choice Award!

    Now titled Dolittle. Sudden pivot to heartstrings/dead wife...darker than it probably was pre-reshoots?

    Quote

    Robert Downey Jr. electrifies one of literature’s most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals: Dolittle.

    After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company. 
    But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.

    The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Dunkirk’s Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar® winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (The Big Sick’s Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena, Bumblebee) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar® winner Emma Thompson), who serves as Dolittle’s most trusted advisor and confidante. 

    The film also stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen (The Queen) and Oscar® winner Jim Broadbent and features additional voice performances from Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard, Tom Holland, Selena Gomez and Ralph Fiennes. 

    Directed by Academy Award® winner Stephen Gaghan (Syriana, Traffic), Dolittle is produced by Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum under their Roth/Kirschenbaum Films (Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent) and Susan Downey (Sherlock Holmes franchise, The Judge) for Team Downey. The film is executive produced by Sarah Bradshaw (The Mummy, Maleficent) and Zachary Roth (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil).
