Sea Change responds:

A producer may ask for such a thing, but no composer who is as establised or as well-known 
as John Williams needs to waste their time by complying with the request, unless they really 
really want to do that particular film.  Writing music to a film is hard!  There are *always* 
other projects for a proven composer, and time is money.  That JW really wanted to do these 
films is a possibility that I hadn't considered.  


Sea Change, who now thinks that JW could be a huge fan!
