20th Century Studios: Difference between revisions

'''Audio:''' A redone variant of the 20th Century Pictures fanfare as composed and conducted by Alfred Newman once again,<ref>https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JLCzDgAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false</ref> which has become one of the most famous pieces of music.

* On ''Love Under Fire'', a different recording of the fanfare is heard.

* On some films, it is silent or has the film's opening theme.

*May 21, 1980: A new recording of the CinemaScope fanfare, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by John Williams, which was used on ''The Empire Strikes Back''.

*In other cases, the logo is silent or has the movie's opening theme.

* Marilyn Monroe's final and unfinished project ''Something's Got to Give'' (1962) has the short, slower version of the 1997 fanfare conducted by David Newman. The film can be found as a bonus feature on ''The Seven Year Itch'' special edition DVD, and as the last third of the AMC documentary ''Marilyn: The Final Days''. Pre-discovered prints probably didn't have a fanfare at all.

*1965-1967: Silent or the opening theme of the movie.

*Sometimes silence or the opening theme of the movie.

* On ''Can-Can'' (1960), a different arrangement of the short fanfare by Nelson Riddle is heard.

*August 6, 1982, July 20, 1984-July 1, 1994: A new arrangement of the long version of the 20th Century Fox fanfare, as conducted by Lionel Newman. The first film to use this rendition was ''The Pirate Movie'', (released  on August 6, 1982, though it was not officially used until its premiere on ''Revenge of the Nerds'') and the last to use it was ''Baby's Day Out'' (released on July 1, 1994).

*In other cases, the logo is silent or has the film's opening theme. ''Rookie of the Year'' coincidentally has opening music that starts with a drumroll similar to the one that normally would start the Fox fanfare.

*On some films, such as ''Porky's II: The Next Day'', the 1935 fanfare is heard.

*November 14, 1997, March 27, 1998-: A slower arrangement of the long TCF fanfare, as performed by the 20th Century Fox Studio Orchestra and conducted by David Newman, whose father Alfred Newman composed the original fanfare in 1933, as well as its extended counterpart in 1954. According to the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast, this fanfare was recorded to coincide with the re-opening of the Newman Scoring Stage at the Fox Studio Lot in 1997. The first film to use this fanfare was 1997's ''Anastasia''; Fox films kept using the 1994 fanfare until January 1998. It would be used for the promo of the new Fox Movies website in 2014, which featured the different variants, along with its various versions of the logo, including this and the next, plus the William Fox variant of the 1st version of the Fox Film logo and the 20th Century Pictures logo. The drumroll is heard twice in the promo; it can be viewed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rspzzsMRl-E here].

*On some 1994-1998 films, the amount of reverberation/echo can vary.

*The "Special Edition" version of the ''Star Wars'' trilogy uses the modified 1954 recording of the fanfare as played by the 20th Century Fox Studio Orchestra and conductor Alfred Newman, and the 1980/83 recording of the fanfare as played by the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor John Williams, respectively. New arrangements of John Williams' fanfare were used on the ''Star Wars'' prequel films. Oddly, the [[VideoVan Entertainment|VideoVan]] VCD print of ''The Phantom Menace'' uses the normal logo with 1994 fanfare, but the last half of the Star Wars recording can faintly be heard on the [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|LucasFilm]] logo.

'''Audio:''' The 1997 Fox fanfare composed and conducted by David Newman, same as the one from the previous logo.

*The 2005 recording of the 1989 [[20th Century Fox Television]] fanfare is heard at the end of ''Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas''.

*The 1999 recording of the 1980 fanfare arrangement was retained at the beginning of ''Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3D'', with only the final shot of this logo seen, followed by the [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] logo (similar to what was done for the original prequel trilogy).

'''Audio:''' The 1997 Fox fanfare arrangement composed and conducted by David Newman, the same as the final two 20th Century Fox logos.

*The short version has the same short version as the final [[20th Century Home Entertainment|20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] logo.

*On the international prints of the 25th Anniversary re-release of ''Titanic'', the 1994 fanfare is heard, just like with the 2012 3D and 2017 Dolby Vision re-releases with the final TCF logo.
