2019: April 01: SCARY STORIES
TO TELL IN THE DARK
Marco Belrami and Anna Drubich will be scoring
upcoming horror movie SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE
DARK for director André Ovredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe),
based on the book by Alvin Schwartz. Rather than adapting any one story or multiple
stories into an anthology movie, the movie will feature an
original tale inspired by various classics from the books. The
plot set in 1968 follows a group of kids who must overcome
their fears in order to save their small town, where a bunch
of strange, horrific deaths have been occurring.
There have been a few names attached as
screenwriters over the years working with Guillermo del Toro’s
idea and an original draft penned by Marcus Dunstan and
Patrick Melton (Saw 4 - 3D). Their script was redone by John
August (Frankenweenie), who was then replaced by Dan and Kevin
Hageman (The Lego Movie and Hotel Transylvania).
The movie stars Zoe Margaret Colletti,
Michael Garza, Austin Zajur, Gabriel Rush and Dean Norris.
Lionsgate will release CBS Films, Entertainment One
and 1212 Entertainment co-production on August 9th.

Check out also this Variety article by Jon
Burlingame and follow WSA's Facebook for more
details. Film Fest Gent’s music
director Dirk Brossé: "We are thrilled to welcome Marco
Beltrami at the World Soundtrack Awards Concert in Ghent! He’s
currently one of the most all-round composers whose music
moves within the most diverse musical styles and genres.
Marco’s extensive orchestral color palette ranges from
intimate transparent tone hues, such as his music for Tommy
Lee Jones’ 'The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada', to large
bombastic orchestral indulgences such as his scores to
blockbusters 'World War Z' or 'Ben-Hur'. Dedicating
considerable attention to melody and obsessed by rhythms,
Marco disposes of a rich palette of both acoustic and
electronic colors. Very much looking forward to this
edition!"

January 02: What to expect in 2019 and new project
announced Happy new year, everyone! 2019 should be
pretty big with 4 scores already recorded and probably a few
more in the works that might still be released before the end
of the year: - EXTREMELY
WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE will have its
world premiere at Sundance Film Festival on January 26th but
it will probably seek the distributor there. No wide release
date has been announced yet. - VELVET BUZZSAW will
also premiere at Sundance only one day
later and on February 1st will be released worldwide by Netflix.
So far there is no information about soundtrack album.
Trailer and poster will be added as soon as available. -
UNDERWATER
is probably the "oldest"
of the scores/movies waiting to be released. The score
was recorded in late June/early July at Pianella Studios and
20th Century Fox was initially supposed to release the
movie. Yet there is still no poster, stills or trailer available
and it is probably up to Disney to release
the movie now. - FLARSKY
will be released on June
7th and has been also recorded recently with participation of Macedonian Symphony
Orchestra. No trailer, posters or stills have been published either and everything
will be added as soon as available.
