WALKING
Marco Beltrami has been
working on the original score for CHAOS WALKING,
the long-anticipated adaptation of Patrick Ness' The
Knife of Never Letting Go (the first book of his young adult
sci-fi series). The movie, directed by Doug Liman (Edge of
Tomorrow, The Bourne Identity), completed its principal
photography in 2017 and after a long delay and reshoots
that took place last year - and also involved Fede Alvarez
(Evil Dead) as a "consultant" - is expected to be finally
released by Lionsgate on January 22, 2021.
The script passed through several sets of
hands, notably Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind‘s Charlie
Kaufman. The plot, set in the aftermath of an apocalyptic
virus, follows Todd (Tom Holland) a young man who lives on a
quarantined planetary colony made up only of men. However,
after something terrible forces him to flee with his dog, he
encounters something he’s never seen before, a woman.
Consequently, Todd and his mysterious new companion, Viola
(Daisy Ridley), embark on a journey to discover the truth
behind their state of life... The movie also stars Mads
Mikkelsen, Cynthia Erivo, Nick Jonas and David Oyelowo.

2020: March
20: MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM score released MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM was just released
digitally by Hollywood Records and is available to purchase
from Amazon or iTunes. The album includes roughly 40
minutes of original score composed by Brandon Roberts
and featuring vocal solos performed by Úyanga Bold (see
also Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark). Here is a little
quote from the soloist about the working process: "A joy
working with series composer Brandon Roberts, creator Eliot
Laurence and sound team to create the vocal sonic universe for
Motherland. (The protagonists use vocal spells and songs to
affect the world around them!) We recorded at Capital Records
and Marco Beltrami's studio the vocal spell effects and
special vocal music for the show (for example, there is a
scene where my layered vocals are the voices of the characters
joining together to call down rain while the sun is shining).
Overall, a thoughtful creative team process defining how the
spells and songs sound and work.
The brilliant Brandon wrote
beautifully captivating music for the series, of course. It
was a pleasure to sing (and throat sing, and sing like a wolf,
ululate, and more) for him, including for his gorgeous opening
main theme. We used and layered different voice colors to
simulate various characters and vocal spells throughout the
series. (Did I mention he is
brilliant?)."
2020: March 17: MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM TVS While there are still no released dates
known for several upcoming projects, MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM TV
