I was wondering if anyone has information about the forthcoming Thomas Newman score for HBO Max's Steven Soderbergh film - Let Them All Talk? Is a release likely?

This movie is out today. Any news about a possible soundtrack release? Has anyone heard about this one. Reviews of the movie are generally positive.

I saw it and thought it was another David Holmes score for Soderbergh! but no, it says it's Newman

very jazzy! think about a lounge big-bang CATCH ME IF YOU CAN sound with Mancini mysterious touches a-la CHARADE

very short, about 20 min long, with a couple of music-only montage scenes and the End Titles

Further echoing spielboy's sentiments here is a write-up in Variety today from Jon Burlingame:

The most prominent cue in the film, as the QM2 sails out of New York, was clearly temptracked with the main theme from The Knack, which makes sense, since Richard Lester is Soderbergh;s favorite director and it's one of his favorite films. smile

Lovely, little score!

It's been a good year for jazz-tinged scores, I think - between this, SOUL, MANK, MA RAINY'S BLACK BOTTOM (OK, more blues than jazz in that one), bits of THE GLORIAS and I'm sure several others I'm forgetting.

There are definitely shades of John Barry's THE KNACK in this score!

Just listened to this. Newman is definitely following a temp track for a lot of this score - some cues are so close to John Barry's "The Knack" that it very nearly sounds like a re-recording. Other cues have a kind of... '90s jazz sound? Like the kind of jazz music you might hear in a '90s indie film set in New York, though specific titles elude me.

Probably the same number as Tarantino will direct after he retires.

He made it pretty clear that he was retiring because the business side had strangled his ability to make the kind of films he wanted to, he wasn't retiring because he had nothing more to say in film.

I think he truly meant it when he said it, because he had been hideously burned by the financial disaster of Che and a few other things.

He has said in interviews that it was The Knick that re-energized him, and I think we can all be grateful for that. He's one of the most distinctive voices in modern cinema, and we'd all be poorer without his contributions.

Since he returned, he hasn't done a single big budget studio film, they've all been financed through unique methods, or been done for television or streaming, he clearly has found a new model that works for him and a renewed passion for his craft, which I'm thrilled by. smile
