This is the new film from The Orphanage director J Bayona.
I LOVED The Orphanage, film and score, and have high hopes for this film as a result.
He has re-teamed with Spanish composer Velazquez for this true-life story of the devastating tsunami that hit Asia a few years ago. Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts star.
The film sounds like an expanded version of the opening of Eastwood's recent HEREAFTER, which itself was outstanding...the prologue, I mean, not the whole film.
Here's hoping Velazquez, who recently recorded his orchestral score at Abbey Road, continues the brilliant work he has done so far.

THE ORPHANAGE is a fantastic score and DEVIL has some killer titles music.
I'm not as aware of his lesser known Spanish scores.

I played this again last night and was practically moved to tears by it.
Surely one of the most beautiful scores of the past few years.
If you think current scores are dead or rubbish, HEAR THIS!
I have The Orphanage CD by Velazquez too. Are there any other scores by him in a similar vein to Impossible and Orphanage?
I have (or have heard) other scores by him (Mama, Devil, Garbo The Spy) which are impressive, but don't move me like the upper two do.
Any suggestions?

One thing I read in the booklet notes that tripped me up.
The director (J A Bayona) mentions being jazzed about recording the score at Abbey Road Studios in London, cos it was where his favourite film/score was done...E.T The Extra-Terrestrial.
Wasn't that score recorded in the U.S.A?
I know the ACTUAL film score was, but was the original MCA LP/CD re-recording done in London?
Anyone confirm?
