Let the Music Begin
The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Composer John Williams visited Skywalker Ranch this week to kick off his work of scoring the music for Attack of the Clones. Williams watched the current rough cut of the film on Monday, then met with George Lucas and Editor Ben Burtt on Tuesday to step through the film scene-by-scene and share ideas about specific musical objectives.
According to Lucas, the visual effects for Episode II are moving along well. Over 800 shots are now complete, with an additional 200 shots very near completion. These shots represent nearly half of the total required for the film, ahead of schedule when compared to Episode I.
Lucas and Producer Rick McCallum are preparing to leave for London later this month for a week of looping (where actors record film dialogue in a sound studio) and a week of pick-up shooting of new material.
