Anyone who knows anything about 1970s disaster movies knows one thing: these flicks require a good music score.
I was not so pleased with the score for METEOR, but it seems, according to the trivia section atleast, things could of gone in a better direction with the music: why was John Williams replaced???? Any of you IMDb experts know the answer to that one?
John Williams left. He was not fired. I've read speculation that if Williams starts to sense a movie he is on may flop, he leaves it. Movie studio execs are pretty narrow minded and if your last movie was a flop, they blame everyone involved whether it was their fault or not. John Williams is a very wise man and knows box office success means he gets hired more often. He was also "replaced" on THE SENTINEL (1977) by Gil Melle and there are probably a few others he bailed on, not that I blame him.
