As many already know, Marco Beltrami will reunite with director Alex Proyas scoring his tale from ancient Egypt, which is currently shooting. As revealed in recent interview by Daniel Schweiger, Marco has already composed bits of the score that were required for the shooting, but won't score the movie until late 2015.
Shooting on the film wrapped last month. Looks like Beltrami will have his hands full with this one and write a ton of music. Hopefully it will go smoother for him than WWZ did...
How can anyone not be excited about a MB score in a movie that features ancient Egypt, outer space, and the underworld? Promises to be one epic monolithic monster of a score and film!
Can't wait! He mentioned in some recent interviews he will probably spent 6 or 7 months scoring this one considering amount of music and themes required for all the characters... February 2016 can't come soon enough! And he also wrote some music that was required on the set...
Glad to see another Alex Proyas' movie getting closer to the finish line especially after Paradise Lost fiasco, which was especially disappoiting... not to mention that previous two scores MB did for him were both excellent.
hate having to wait until 2016 but this is amazing news. beltrami will be great i'm sure but the fact that proyas is doing another moving again is fantastic! he's had a couple of really really cool ones before, so very much looking forward to this!
This has a lot of possibility. I'm looking forward to seeing how Beltrami handles a big epic movie that's not just another superhero or zombie fest. I think he has the chops...we'll see.
And moved back to February 26th release date! Ben Hur was originally scheduled to be released on that date, while it is being delayed until August 12th.
one thing is for sure: judging from the trailer this movie is going to have some of the crummiest CGI I have seen in recent times...too bad, I usually really like Proyas' work.
I think the movie looks great. I've heard terrific things about it. I totally trust Proyas, he is a true artistic genius and I've never been disappointed by anything he's done. I'm very curious and very eager to see this one, and Marco's score is going to be unbelievable...
team beltrami is mighty proud of what the score ended up to be.over 2.5 hours of thematic choral fantasy music, influenced by rosza and bernstein.film is close to 3 hours i heard.hope this is still true.stupid test audience can kill a great score as we all know.(troy)
