'Jurassic World: Rebirth' composer details Jonathan Bailey's clarinet solo
Who knew a clarinet could compete with a T. rex? Alexandre Desplat, the Academy Award-winning French composer who created the score for 'Jurassic World: Rebirth,' got help on the new dinosaur blockbuster from none other than star Jonathan Bailey himself. Desplat recorded his suspenseful new score at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios in April, and Bailey ended up sitting in with the orchestra and showing off his surprising clarinet skills.

I was conducting. Suddenly, there was this buzzing in the control room.' Advertisement 'They talked about having Jonathan Bailey play the clarinet on one of the pieces,' he continued. 'It was totally unexpected, and I had no idea about his clarinet level. Was it like a child level, or did he play at a professional level? I knew he had musical talent from being on stage for many years and being a great musical artist. So I took that bet.' Besides starring as paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis in the newest 'Jurassic World' movie, Bailey also provided a clarinet solo that made it into Desplat's final score for the film. 14 Alexandre Desplat on the red carpet for the world premiere of 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' in London on June 17, 2025.

'He opened his clarinet case,' Desplat recalled. 'I invited him to join the clarinet desk, which is the best player in the London scene. He sat by the first chair, and I chose a piece where there was a solo.' Coincidentally, the part of the score that Bailey recorded his clarinet solo for ended up being one of his character's most dramatic scenes. 14 Alexandre Desplat conducting an orchestra at the Kraków Film Festival in Poland.

AP 'The irony is that it was one of the pieces where he is also on screen,' Desplat explained. 'It's a scene where his character sees a dinosaur and interacts with it for the first time. Before that, he was more of an academic in museums and books.' 'The clarinet plays as he touches the dinosaur for the first time,' the 'Harry Potter' composer continued. 'I don't think there have been many movies where the actor is on screen in a very important moment for his character, and at the same time, is also playing the score to mirror the emotion of his own character.' Desplat described Bailey's 'brilliant' and 'beautiful' clarinet contribution to his score as a 'thrill,' and revealed that the 'Bridgerton' star even gave one section of the orchestra autographs once they were all finished recording. 14 Alexandre Desplat on the red carpet for the premiere of 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' at the Le Grand Rex in Paris, France, on June 22, 2025.

Getty Images 'That is the thrill of it, to have been able to combine both the score and the actor onscreen,' the 'Moonrise Kingdom' composer told The Post. 'He really pulled it off brilliantly. Everybody was quite surprised that he would play.' 'He followed my direction. He played in tune with a beautiful sound,' Desplat added. 'He started and ended exactly where he had to, and then the whole woodwind section asked for autographs.'

'Not only is it a challenge to be brought onto this huge franchise because of the legacy of John Williams' main theme, but also because it's a worldwide franchise.' Advertisement 'People love this world and wait for each installment,' he continued. 'And each film has a lot of music. A lot of loud music.' Still, Williams' legacy did not stop Desplat from creating something almost completely fresh to kick off this new era of the 'Jurassic World' franchise, even if it did include a few moments from Williams' renowned score. 14 Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett and Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis in 'Jurassic World: Rebirth.'

'There are a couple of moments where we offered the audience that great melody.' 'There is always some kind of cheering in the room when people hear the original theme,' he acknowledged. 'But otherwise, it's all new material.' As for his new score, Desplat said that he hopes audiences experience it as one cohesive whole.

'I hope the experience of the film will be the peak of fear, the peak of ecstasy and heroic moments.' 'I hope they will feel it was all one big, epic moment,' Desplat concluded. 'Jurassic World: Rebirth,' which also stars Scarlett Johansson (Zora Bennett), Luna Blaise (Teresa Delgado) and Mahershala Ali (Duncan Kincaid), is now in theaters.

Billy Bush Claims He Flagged Donald Trump's Lewd ‘Access Hollywood' Comments to His Producer in 2005
Billy Bush brought up Donald Trump's infamous Access Hollywood tape during a new interview with Rob Lowe on the actor's SiriusXM podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe, revealing that he flagged the president's lewd comments to a superior more than a decade before the scandal broke. 'The day of the filming in 2005, I called my producer [and] said, 'You're not gonna believe what Trump said. He is going after Nancy.' All I said was 'Nancy O'Dell' because I didn't hear the other stuff,' Bush told Lowe, referencing his Access Hollywood colleague O'Dell. The 'other stuff' seemingly refers to Trump's comments about grabbing women by the genitals. 'I said, 'He's trying to take Nancy furniture shopping to sleep with her. This is crazy. He's done it again! The guy's an animal!' I report it, basically, to my superior, but it sits in a desk forever because…had that tape leaked out when it actually occurred in 2005, I would've been fired for an entirely different reason — killing NBC's cash cow. Trump was a protected, revered source. He was a hundred million dollars in profit for NBC. He was the king of the ratings.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Meet the Trump-Loving Union Boss Who Thinks He Can Save Hollywood Sergei Loznitsa Thinks 'Two Prosecutors' Will Feel Familiar in U.S., Eyes Stalin Purge Drama Follow-up Six Questions About Where All the TikTok Drama Is Heading At the time, Trump fronted the successful reality show The Apprentice for NBC while Bush was in his first full year as an Access Hollywood co-anchor alongside O'Dell. It wasn't until 2016, during the final weeks of Trump's first campaign for the White House, that The Washington Post published an exposé that revealed audio of what has come to be known as 'the Access Hollywood tape.' The recording features Trump, who would survive the scandal to become president of the United States two times over, bragging on a bus in 2005 about grabbing women by the genitals in audio captured off camera. 'When you're a star, they let you do it,' he is overheard saying. 'You can do anything.' Bush could be heard laughing in the background, and his involvement in the scandal ended up costing him a job at NBC's Today. He's since recalled the incident and its fallout for The Hollywood Reporter and in a column for The New York Times, among other outlets. To Lowe, Bush also offered additional details about how NBC executives were on the hunt for clips that featured Trump speaking in a disparaging manner about women. 'NBC put out an APB, all points bulletin, on Donald Trump because there was a former [pageant queen] who came forward and said he had done something inappropriate. Donald Trump said, 'I've never said or done anything inappropriate with women ever in my life,'' Bush recalled. 'And then NBC, who hates him, sent out these messages to every division of the company: 'Do you have any tapes…what they really wanted was Mark Burnett's tape, the guy who ran The Apprentice, because there's outtakes forever — but [they asked], 'Does anyone else have anything of him talking disparagingly about women? We need this.' And my producer at the time was like, 'Holy shit. The bus ride. That tape, that was like 11 years ago. That's the time when Bush called me right after it happened.'' On Literally! With Rob Lowe, Bush said by losing his job, he lost out on his first 'really big paycheck.' He also credits a close circle, which included his brother, his pastor, Tony Robbins and celebrities like Dennis Quaid, Julie Bowen, Cindy Crawford, Eric Stonestreet, Michael Strahan, Modern Family creator Steve Levitan and Suzanne Somers, for supporting him. 'I would never have survived without them,' Bush said. 'I did everything I could think of to keep myself from jumping off the building because, Rob, I was about to get a huge paycheck, my first really big paycheck. I'm at the Today show. They still have money. They're the last thing in linear television with real money…and right back to the bottom of the hill. Or let's say the middle of the hill and then you have to keep coming back up again.' Bush said he also remembers those people who weren't there for him at the time; though he offers advice for anyone in a similar predicament with their own friends. 'I always say pick up the phone, call, send a text: 'Hey, buddy. Thinking about you. I'm here.' Do it. Do it. If you're ever on that fulcrum where you can't decide, do it.' Lowe's episode with Bush is part of the new season of Literally! With Rob Lowe, a set of episodes that will feature chats with such guests as Larry Charles, Roblox CEO David Baszucki, Marc Maron, Joel McHale, Daniel Dae Kim and more.

Risks Relating to our SiriusXM Business: Changing consumer behavior and new technologies relating to our satellite radio business may reduce our subscribers and may cause our subscribers to purchase fewer services from us or to cancel our services altogether, resulting in less revenue to us; a substantial number of our SiriusXM service subscribers periodically cancel their subscriptions and we cannot predict how successful we will be at retaining customers; our ability to profitably attract and retain subscribers to our SiriusXM service is uncertain; our business depends in part upon the auto industry; the imposition of tariffs by the United States government could have a major effect on the United States auto industry, which Sirius XM is dependent upon as a material source of new subscribers; failure of our satellites would significantly damage our business; and our SiriusXM service may experience harmful interference from wireless operations. Risks Relating to our Pandora and Off-platform Business: Our Pandora and Off-platform business generates a significant portion of its revenues from advertising, and reduced spending by advertisers could harm our business; emerging industry trends may adversely impact our ability to generate revenue from advertising; our failure to convince advertisers of the benefits of our Pandora ad-supported service could harm our business; if we are unable to maintain our advertising revenue our results of operations will be adversely affected; changes to mobile operating systems and browsers may hinder our ability to sell advertising and market our services; and if we fail to accurately predict and play music, comedy or other content that our Pandora listeners enjoy, we may fail to retain existing and attract new listeners.

Risks Associated with Certain Intellectual Property Rights: Rapid technological and industry changes and new entrants could adversely impact our services; the market for music rights is changing and is subject to significant uncertainties; our Pandora services depend upon maintaining complex licenses with copyright owners, and these licenses contain onerous terms; failure to protect our intellectual property or actions by third parties to enforce their intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business and operating results; and some of our services and technologies use "open source" software, which may restrict how we use or distribute our services or require that we release the source code subject to those licenses. Risks Related to our Capital Structure: While we currently pay a quarterly cash dividend to holders of our common stock, we may change our dividend policy at any time; our holding company structure could restrict access to funds of our subsidiaries that may be needed to pay third party obligations; we have significant indebtedness, and our subsidiaries' debt contains certain covenants that restrict their operations; and our ability to incur additional indebtedness to fund our operations could be limited, which could negatively impact our operations. Risks Related to the Transactions: We may have a significant indemnity obligation to Liberty Media, which is not limited in amount or subject to any cap, if the transactions associated with the Split-Off are treated as a taxable transaction; we may determine to forgo certain transactions that might otherwise be advantageous in order to avoid the risk of incurring significant tax-related liabilities; we have assumed and are responsible for all of the liabilities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group as a result of the completion of the Transactions, and acquired the assets of SplitCo on an "as is, where is" basis; we may be harmed by securities class action and derivative lawsuits in connection with the Transactions; it may be difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders; we have directors associated with Liberty Media, which may lead to conflicting interests; and our directors and officers are protected from liability for a broad range of actions.
