 Filmtracks: Timeline (Brian Tyler)
Timeline: (Brian Tyler) Director Richard Donner's films have included a plethora of sequel-inspiring works, from Superman: The Movie and The Omen to the Lethal Weapon series.
The time travel concept in Timeline involves a secretive multinational corporation (no surprise there) that has invented a method of reverse time exploration, and the characters who test the new technology end up fighting for their lives in the 15th Century when things, naturally, go wrong.
His involvement with Timeline extended to a score of decent length being recorded, although in a rare move, Goldsmith's music was thrown out (due to the drawn-out production of the project more than the quality of the music).

Timeline is the sort of film adaptation that gets muddled and toned down in the scripting stage.
With the film riding on the character's emotions, the viewer's involvement in the drama is lost.
Timeline is not entirely without entertainment value, but in the end it's rather forgettable.

 Montreal Mirror - Film : Timeline
Adapted from a Michael Crichton novel, Timeline tells the muddy and confusing story of an archeologist, played by Billy Connolly, who goes back in time to 14th-century France, the era he's studying, via a magical machine invented by David Thewlis.
Maybe the most depressing thing about Timeline is its production values; the man who gave us the magnificent destruction of Krypton has made a movie that would be comfortably at home on TV at 8 p.m.
Medieval France resembles a patch of woods behind somebody's cottage in the Laurentians (the movie was actually filmed in Quebec), and the time travel sequences involve nothing more than a big fan blowing the actors' hair back, and a lot of screaming.

 Timeline - Music from the Movies
Those associated with the film, and attendees of the recording sessions had been unanimous in their praise for the score and it was thought that the only thing to be announced after its recording was a date for the soundtrack album to be released.
Sadly it wasn't to be as Timeline the movie was in trouble and last minute changes in the edit, and a decision by the director to ask for a grittier more action-orientated score meant dramatic changes would be required.
Of course when Timeline was finally released late in 2003, with its new score, the film had not improved, was mauled by critics and flopped at the box office.

 Amazon.com: Timeline: Music: Brian Tyler,Hollywood Studio Symphony   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Much of the film's swashbuckling action takes place in the 14th century, and Tyler's music draws heavily on the rousing brass and thundering percussion arrangements of Herrmann's Sinbad/Jason adventure scores, suffused with a decidedly modern sense of melody and a few contemporary orchestration tricks (particularly in its time travel sequences) by the composer himself.
The result may have its roots in the vibrant spirit of Korngold's Hollywood Golden Age swashbucklers, but it's vigorously pumped up with a dark, 21st century sense of orchestral cum electronic foreboding, tense mystery and a shrewd sense of dynamics that are Tyler's alone.
It's been said before, but film scores are some of the best music there is. I have listened to this CD more than any of the others I own.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: Timeline
Millionaire industrialist Robert Doniger (David Thewlis), owner of the generically named International Technology Corporation, has discovered a way to time-travel, and after the leader of an archeological team, Professor Johnson (Billy Connolly), is lost in the past during one of Doniger's experiments, the rest of the Professor's group are sent back to find him.
But instead of dramatizing this confusion and thereby locating a thoughtful insecurity within the usual blood-and-muscle framework of action films, the characters' bewilderment comes across as unfocused and weak thanks to a narrative that meanders ferociously and performances which smack of community theater.
On the other hand, whatever is redeeming about the film's more "realistic" action is scrambled by the ham-fisted performances of its leads, particularly Paul Walker as Professor Johnson's son, and Frances O'Connor as Kate, dedicated researcher and love interest.

So here's the pitch: The Movie Timeline is the history of everything, taken from one simple premise: that everything you see in the movies is true - the real mixes with the fictitious, so long as it's reported in a movie somewhere...
After all it's a mammoth task only limited by the history of cinema, and so your help will be invaluable in making this probably quite pointless but joyously trivial timeline complete.
It must be a verifiable date - whether a year subtitled at the start ("1941, France..."), a visible clue in the film (character picks up a newspaper), or some historical backdrop (From Hell's Jack The Ripper).
