The John Williams Fan Network is citing two "very reliable" sources in their report
that the composer may not be able to score Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire due to scheduling conflicts:
According to one of the sources (someone very close to the composer), Williams might write the score for Memoirs of a Geisha. Both Harry Potter 4 and Geisha are scheduled for release in Fall, 2005.
The film rights to Memoirs belong to director Steven Spielberg, who often collaborates with Williams. If that's Spielberg's next project, Williams may be too busy for Potter, although "things might change in the coming months," reports JWFan.net. Sad news, considering Goblet of Fire is reportedly going to be the most expensive movie ever made.

I really hope he can work it out so he will be able to do GoF! The movie just won't be the same without his music!

That sucks. I really like him doing Harry Potter. I hope they don't change the theme song that'd suck. I kind of hope he squeezes GoF in.

John Williams is in such demand! Who is the director of "Geisha"? Might be one of his favorites - John does like to write for specific people!
I will miss his music in GoF if it comes to that. I home something can change in the scheduling so that John can do both films. You do have to admire the guy for not compromising the integrity of his work by taking on too much!

man....I like John williams. His movie music is the best out there. He did all of the great ones. If they're not going to use him I think they should use Howard Shore, (LOTR composer).

Wow, no one can really rival his talent and the work that he has done in the Previous potter movies. He's like an icon for the movies. I'm not sure if anyone can fill his shoes!!! Hopefully everything works out and he's able to work on the project.

No! I love john williams! Im in band so I play his music all the time! The biggest bummer about this is if it doesnt work out and he can't score The Goblet of Fire the new composer can't use the same theme. You know the basic harry potter theme that sounds like its played on bells? Well he owns that and the new person cant use it. It happened with Shrek (I saw the "making of" special on HBO)

Wow, Goblet of Fire is going to be the most expensive film ever made! That's amazing! It is really sad about John Williams though. He created the Harry Potter theme songs !!! Goblet of Fire mightn't ever sound the same!
