Balahkay 629 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That sounds like Williams to me. But was this music written specifically for a teaser or an edited piece from a longer cue written for the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerebral Cortex 3,358 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm thinking it's an edited piece from a longer cue.It definitely sounds like it is meant to make you think of The Imperial March.

Balahkay 629 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Abrams specifically said the trailer would debut in fall, so I'd be surprised if it was shown next week based on his statement since Fall technically begins September 23. I would love to be wrong, though. This could still be a snippet of the actual trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crossfader 577 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thinking it's not Williams with the music later turning out to effectively have been written by Williams will bring you in a fairly embarrassed state (as will thinking it is when it turns out not to be), whereas thinking it either isn't or is Williams when it isn't or is indeed will make you seem all the more clever in either spotting the supposedly low quality work of a trailer composer or Williams's high quality work.The odds are so unsympathetic the music isn't even worth thinking about.

Muad'Dib 1,867 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It might be Williams, but it's kinda like the other trailers where they added a lot of trailer-type shit to make it sound more "oomph" I guess.My vocabulary is so fucking extense. bespinGPT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 966 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Shame the sound quality sucks so bad. Despite that, it's quite obviously supposed to make you think of the Imperial March.

Not Mr. Big 4,739 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Perhaps it comes at the end of the First Order March. Like the quote at the end of Anakin's Theme. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,891 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Sounds like a synth mockup to me. Disney may have commissioned a trailer music house to create some stock Star Wars-ian generic trailer music for their never-ending upcoming slate of Star Wars movies. Or Williams has deconstructed the Imperial March for the First Order theme, which makes all kinds of sense and is the kind of thing Abrams would probably request.

Not Mr. Big 4,739 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm honestly sort of hoping that it's not Williams' music. It's fine but it's definitely lacking that special "John Williams signature sound" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_K 6 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 BRIDGE OF SPIES is being distributed in USA by Disney (Oct. 16). I'll bet Official Trailer 1 is on it. Trailer 2 will probably be on GOOD DINOSAUR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,769 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Crimson Peak is also being released in IMAX on the same day as Bridge of Spies so it would make a lot of sense to put out a trailer that weekend for both those reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,713 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Those horns playing the D right at the beginning sound like they're playing at full volume but they've been mixed down so they can be barely heard. It sounds sickeningly inspired by the "epic horns" trope. I think those horns also play a trill between A-Bb just before the end, which for some reason doesn't sound very "Williams" although it could just be me. Tbh that whole thing with the lightsabers turning on in time with the music came across a bit kitsch...I think it's either:a very well-made adaptation by a talented musicianor:John Williams on a bad day.
