It was quite an honor that you started your video off with my music and to have it included with all that great Williams stuff. Yes, I was definitely going for that 70s Williams sound when I composed it.
This is exactly the kind of film we need now and the style I would like to compose more than any other.

ordered it from amazon. can't wait to hear the whole thing. Stromberg should be scoring more movies man
I totally agree. It's alarming to really think about the last overtly theme driven score, at least in the manner 90% of films were scored like from the '30s through to say the late '90s. Nowadays everything is short little passages, motives, or rhythm cells that don't see much development. I'm really hoping Giacchino goes back to his early days for this one. I was listening to the Incredibles the other day and marvelled at how well thought-out that score was. Regardless of the inspiration, he did a wonderful job taking those principle themes and developed them throughout which is really the sign of a composer and not a glorified song-writer. The best composers think like architects and as such, their music has so much more resonance and meaning when listened to in or away from the picture.
From the look of it, Super8 needs a score like this. And while I'm not the biggest Giacchino advocate any longer, I do have the utmost confidence that he CAN tackle a score like this especially when he delivered a very subtle but effective, well thought out score to Let Me In. I just hope he uses some of those vintage Williams' suspension chords in the horns (and inverted). I love that sound. It takes me back to my childhood.

It's coming from Varese:
SUPER 8
Music Composed by
Michael Giacchino
(Up, Star Trek, Cars 2)
In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth — something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.
Destined to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer, SUPER 8 is written and directed by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Star Trek, Mission Impossible III) and produced by Steven Spielberg.
Composer Michael Giacchino — an Academy Award winner for his score for Up — reunites with director J.J. Abrams for an extraordinary adventure that musically returns to the wonders of childhood in what may be Giacchino’s best score yet.
Paramount Pictures will open Super 8 nationwide on June 10.
Varese Sarabande Catalog # 302 067 101 2
Release Date: 06/28/11

Wow, well all I can say is, this just met my expectations and then some with that theme alone. It's excellent, I love it already. I'm extremely picky with my themes and that grabbed me within three seconds of hearing it.
That theme... I just cannot stop listening to the clip that's there. It hits all the right notes.
Indeed, I listened to it for like 10 minutes straight and have since bookmarked the page. Put me in the mood for some 80's Williams so now I'm listening to E.T.
