John Williams discusses Tintin movie soundtrack
September 5, 2009

Over on the John Williams Fan Network site, the composer "speaks" about the music he is composing for the upcoming Tintin film.

I'm currently orchestrating a large piece with a number of ideas. The main theme is highly energetic, filled with great tonal twists and turns, reflecting, I suspect, Tintin's heroic energy. It will become a classic, I think. To give more information would be to reveal things that I don't ... want to say.

We are at the beginning of the process. The main scoring sessions are off in February.

Also, let me say with regard to Tintin, I believe, as with "Potter" and Catch Me if you Can, people will be both surprised and not surprised by how the music is both "expected" and "UN-expected"- before you hear it.
