American Music Research Center: AMRC to preserve and share historic trove of silent-era film scores

American Music Research Center: AMRC to preserve and share historic trove of silent-era film scores. “Between 1900 and 1929, when Sid Grauman ran silent films with live orchestral accompaniment in his Hollywood ‘movie palaces,’ he probably never imagined that the thousands of orchestral scores used by his musicians would be recognized as important Americana in their own right. A century later—with a $116,916 grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Committee (NHPRC)—the University of Colorado Boulder’s American Music Research Center (AMRC) is creating a comprehensive digital archive of the Grauman Theatre Scores Collection.”

Deadline Hollywood: Emilio Estevez Not Returning To ‘The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers’ For Season 2

Deadline Hollywood: Emilio Estevez Not Returning To ‘The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers’ For Season 2. “The Mighty Ducks franchise will continue without Gordon Bombay. Emilio Estevez, who reprised his role from the 1992 movie and its 1994 and 1996 sequels in Season 1 of The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, will not be back for the Disney+ series’ upcoming second season, I have learned. I hear Disney Television Studios’ ABC Signature, which produces the hockey-themed sequel series, made the decision not to pick up Estevez’s option for Season 2 after weeks of back and forth with his team over the show’s Covid vaccination requirement. Reps for the studio and Estevez declined comment.”
