Brian has officially signed on to score the upcoming drama "Truth" (director - James Vanderbilt) starring Cate Blanchett as Mary Mapes and Robert Redford as Dan Rather.
Plot:
"A behind-the-scenes look at news anchor Dan Rather during his final days at C.B.S. News when he broadcast a damaging report about how President Bush relied on privilege and family connections to avoid fighting in the Viet Nam War."
That's very interesting, since it had occurred to me that the only thing that had been limiting Tyler's remarkable career rise of late is that he hadn't been doing any "serious" Oscar-type movies, unlike peers like Jackman (Captain Phillips) or Beltrami (Hurt Locker, Horseman, True Story). I don't know if Truth will be any good, but it's a lot more Oscar-ish than Furious Seven or Avengers: Age of Ultron.
His best scores were for smaller films, so this is OK with me.
True. Standing Up was so lovely.
I wouldn't say that I think generally his best scores were for smaller films, but my favorite film score he's ever done -- The Lazarus Project -- is one of the smallest films he's ever worked on. He truly does incredible work for smaller-scale projects though, it's true -- Standing Up, The Killing Room and The Big Empty are some favorites.
tha amount of threads and space dedicated to a mediocre hack's every single assignemt is nothing short of remarkable.
So is the fact that someone who doesn't like Tyler would waste their troll time with an unnecessary and bitter comment. In case you didn't know, this is a film music message board and guess what? Like it or not, Tyler is one of the most successful composers working today and he's had copious assignments for many years, so you better get used to multiple threads on the guy whether you like it or not.

I can't help but notice how much more sinister this post seems because of DR's avatar.
Hey, don't piss off the deputy! He's got an axe!!!
EDIT: My silly comment doesn't even make sense any more since DR changed his avatar - thus the risk of joking around with an avatar.

Yeah. "Jaybird" is one of the best lovely themes I've ever heard...

Very much looking forward to Truth.
My favorite always been Frailty, I still remember that powerful main theme, 10 years after watching that film. Standing Up is another favorite due to the use of woodwinds, commonly mixed on the background in Tyler's action works. Tyler gets the same problem of Desplat, on being stuck into a single genre and style (Action films with blend of rock and roll, electronics and orchestra), when both have proved to do different stuff before. The well is drying up, so this film seems to be a good opportunity for Tyler to do something different.
Sony Pictures Classics is giving an Oct. 16 awards-season release to the Cate Blanchett-Robert Redford drama "Truth", centered on the Dan Rather scandal.
Brian attends the "Truth" premiere during the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival at the Winter Garden Theatre on September 12, 2015 in Toronto, Canada:
