The Final challenge has been announced, and it’s gotten me excited!
“THE SONG FROM (aka 70s Cinema Pop): For this final duel between Master and Challenger, you must envision a world in which composer John Williams was never hired to write the now-iconic scores for the Lucas and Spielberg films of the 1970s (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, 1941, and STAR WARS). Imagine instead that the filmmakers decided to go with that other staple of the 70s – a tailor-made pop tune. Think THE POSEIDEN ADVENTUREs The Morning After (The Song From THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE), which youll find below. You must choose one of those 1970s Williams-scored Spielberg/Lucas flicks and write The Song From that the film never had, in the style of a 1970s pop tune (particularly in your instrumentation).
The song must be at least 1min 45sec, and must be an original creation.
The deadline for delivery of the song is 11:59pm EST on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21st.”
I’m not familiar with 1941, but I can see this being a really cool challenge for any of the other 3 movies. I’m just sad because it would have been great to hear Paul & Storm’s take on this challenge!
