HERE IT IS! John Williams' 1st released cue from DISCLOSURE DAY. It sounds almost Lord of the Rings-esque. Definitely Williams. Movie lovers, Williams is 94 years old. None of us have any excuses no matter how old we are. Make art.

Last month members of ILM's original crew from Star Wars: A New Hope gathered at their former studio space in Southern California. 50 years ago in 1976, they were busily preparing the world's most innovative visual effects facility to create over 300 shots for George Lucas' space fantasy. Guests at the reunion included everyone from modelmakers and production coordinators to visual effects supervisors and camera operators. Some crews remain bonded forever.

In Alien, Sigourney Weaver said she was criticized for this scene.

“People have said, ‘Aw, how could you demean yourself by doing this?’ And I say, ‘Are you kidding? After five days of blood and guts, sweat and urine, do you think Ripley wouldn’t take off her clothes?’

One of the best edited sequences in film history. 422 individual shots were cut together by Marcia Lucas, Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew. Here is one frame from every shot in the climactic 12-minute 'Trench Run' of STAR WARS (1977).

🎥RAIDERS SHOT DESIGN🎥
Spielberg turns a cramped living room into 96 seconds of continuous cinematic choreography. A single moving shot gives Indy and Brody close-ups, wide shots, movement, exposition and visual variety without a single cut. Super elegant visual storytelling.

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.

The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).

Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.
