2015:  April 19: TRUE STORY samples and clips
TRUE STORY was finally released earlier this week and you can also listen to six samples from the original score on the Marco Beltrami's official website . The score was praised in review by Variety published after the film screened during Sundance Film Festival earlier this year: "It’s an assured, impressive first effort, given added heft from Marco Beltrami’s near-constant yet non-invasive score — the sort of elegant, slightly melancholy accompaniment most often associated with Carter Burwell, beautifully rendered in pianos and strings. If anything, the music invites a depth of introspection upon which the screenplay can’t quite deliver."  You can also watch a short behind the scenes and a two short clips from the film, which also include a bit of the score.

   

2015:  April 14: INTRADA announces RED EYE
Catch a flight to terror with premiere release of exciting Marco Beltrami soundtrack from Wes Craven air travel thriller! Rachel McAdams is the passenger, Cillian Murphy is her seatmate, terror is the name of the game. Beltrami sets both mood and pulse from the outset with lean, suspenseful ideas for strings and French horn over steady rhythm in percussion & keyboards, with low brass outbursts slashing through all. As the suspense increases, so do the above musical devices, culminating in aggressive, dynamic action music for the entire orchestra. Interestingly, Beltrami relies heavily on French horn, bass trombone to bring intensity to his score but omits trumpet. Resulting action sequences are grim, darker-edged, powerful! Crisp recording, dynamic performances create vibrant audio, lengthy cues create coherency. Another exciting asset: generous maxed-out CD playing time. Film itself is scored nearly wall-to-wall with numerous cues playing front and center. All of them (plus two "extras") are presented in stereo from pristine condition digital scoring session mixes courtesy Paramount Pictures. Marco Beltrami composes, Pete Anthony conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain!

2015: February 11: Updated list of upcoming projects
After a while, it's time for another recap of the upcoming films featuring music by Marco Beltrami. The composer is currently busy working on the upcoming FANTASTIC FOUR, which is being co-scored by Philip Glass. Here is a little quote about their collaboration: “We’re sending sketches back and forth right now. Composing is pretty much a solitary business. Buck and I are unusual. We’ve been working together for 17 years. It’s sort of unique. Collaborating with somebody, sharing ideas, takes some time to get up to speed. One of the things I like is, as you work, you figure out there’s another way to approach it. It’s how you grow and learn.” The film's first trailer was released and added to the January 6th post below.
Here is the list of upcoming scores and their US release dates, which will be hopefully accompanied by soundtrack albums - at least in most cases:

- THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH - released on January 2nd (soundtrack on Varese Sarabande)
- SEVENTH SON - released on February 5th (soundtrack album in the works)
- THE GUNMAN - March 20th
- TRUE STORY - April 10th (limited)
- FANTASTIC FOUR - August 2nd
- THE HITMAN: AGENT 47 - August 28th
- NO ESCAPE (formerly known as THE COUP) - September 2nd

TRUE STORY screened yesterday at Sundance Film Festival and will receive limited release in April. So far there is no information available about possible wider release, which it should eventually receive considering star power of two main protagonists. No soundtrack album has been confirmed yet either. The score was praised in review by Variety: "It’s an assured, impressive first effort, given added heft from Marco Beltrami’s near-constant yet non-invasive score — the sort of elegant, slightly melancholy accompaniment most often associated with Carter Burwell, beautifully rendered in pianos and strings. If anything, the music invites a depth of introspection upon which the screenplay can’t quite deliver."

2015: January 06: new project: THE FANTASTIC FOUR
