  1. Am 11. November ist eine animierte Tv-Serie zu The Green Lantern gestartet, welche von Frederik Wiedmann (Mirrors 2, Visus-Expedition Arche Noah und Return to House on Haunted Hill) gescort wurde. Wer Interesse hat, kann sich sechs 30 Sekundenclips auf seiner Website anhören. Müsst aber schnell sein, da er die Clips, dank Warner, nur 7 Tage online lassen darf. Je mehr Klicks, desto größer die Chance, dass er Warner überzeugen kann die Musik zu veröffentlichen. Ihm schwebt aufgrund der Fülle an Musik eine Doppel-CD vor. Ich bin der Meinung, dass die Musik es wert ist veröffentlicht zu werden, da sie schön thematisch ist und das Flair eines Superheldenscores versprüht - im Gegensatz zur Gurke von James Newton Howard zum gleichnamigen Kinofilm.

  2. Zitat aus einer Rezension:

    I'm a major fan of Danny Elfman, but his score on this movie did not sound like a Danny Elfman score. Most of the music is made up of existing songs sampled for the boxing matches. What's left in-between is fairly generic. I've been hungry for an awesome film score for quite some time and was hoping Elfman could deliver here. This wasn't it.

  3. Ist euch schon aufgefallen, dass fast alle orchestralen scores von Badelt in letzter Zeit mit dem China National Orchestra aufgenommen wurden?

    Die Chinesen scheinen nun jetzt auch auf den Scoring Markt zu drängen...

    Das hat mit "The Promise" angefangen und wurde mit seinen weiteren Arbeit in China (Olympia, Theme Park etc.) fortgesetzt. Seitdem greift er immer wieder auf das Orchester zurück.

  4. Nur als ergänzende Info warum wir 3 CDs bekommen:

    In an unusual situation, you wrote two to Breakdown - what is the story behind that?

    Actually, I wrote three scores - well, two and a half. The script to Breakdown was one of the most exciting things I've read in years. It was a page-turner, and I finished it in about half an hour. The pace of the thing was extraordinary! So Jonathan Mostow and I talked a lot about the style of music he was looking for, and it came around to Bernard Herrmann. Dino De Laurentiis, whom I hadn't worked with in 20 years since Conan, wanted a strong "tema" - theme. So the first time around, I came up with this idea of using guitars (because it takes place in the Southwest) and orchestra - and came up with this main theme which was. well, I wouldn't say that it was as much Bernard Herrmann as Kimberly was Georges Delerue. It was a pretty large orchestra. We came back, and Jonathan decided that it wasn't really what the film needed. So he decided that it should be more like Ennio Morricone than Bernard Herrmann. So we explored that approach, and that wasn't it either. From there it became very deconstructionist. We utilized a lot of synthesizers. Eric Colvin played the synths, Jud Miller played the EVI (and got a lot of strange effects), and Steve Forman did the percussion. We ended up with those three instruments on the score - a drastically different approach.

    At first it really bothered me that Jonathan could be so flip about it, but in the end I think he really got a score that best represented the film's ideas. He was right - it was a little annoying that we had to go through two other scores first, but it was really a process. I know it frustrated Dino a little bit. In the end, if a studio is willing to spend the money and take the time, and you're not fighting a release date and you have a film like Breakdown where there weren't too many precedents - we've all seen thrillers and action - it wasn't like Robocop or Starship Troopers where you're creating a whole new language for the genre. But nonetheless it took experimentation, and Jonathan was willing to do it. In the end, he had a really good attitude about it - it certainly wasn't an ego thing. So in retrospect it wasn't half as horrible as I though it was. Also it better prepared me to work with Hugh Grant, who really loves to experiment. Timing is critical in comedy, and I learned a lot about that. Eric Colvin did all the mockups, and we probably had 10 different versions of the Mickey Blue Eyes score - each one with minute changes - but they're all different in terms of timing, pace, where the payoff to the joke is, how much to clear for a setup to a joke, pausing for laughter, etc. I think Jonathan Mostow prepared me to be able to do that because all of a sudden the process became more collaborative.
