EVIDENCE: 1996 - Jerry Goldsmith interview for the Special Edition LaserDisc release of PATTON.
At one point in the interview Jerry Goldsmith mentions that he was originally the composer signed to write the score to BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES; however, Frank Schaffner went to the Fox brass and insisted that Goldsmith do PATTON instead. Also in his discussion, Goldsmith alludes to the fact that he had already started his BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES score.
1977:
THE WHITE BUFFALO - David Shire [John Barry.]
1978:
SUPERMAN - Jerry Goldsmith.
EVIDENCE: 2001 - Richard Donner interview for the Special Edition DVD release of "Superman, The Movie".
Richard Donner revealed that Jerry Goldsmith was in line to score the movie first but due to scheduling difficulties during 1977-78 had to pass on the assignment. John Williams also nearly missed out for the same reason and the project again was offered to Goldsmith. But further scheduling prevented Goldsmith working on the film and Williams was finally able to score it.
