2011: December 21: Official website re-designed

Also the first photo of Marco Beltrami with his Satellite Award was included there and higher-resolution version is available when you click on the image on the right.

2011: December 21: SOUL SURFER found uneligible at Academy Awards
For whatever unspecified reason, SOUL SURFER isn't included on the short list of scores eligible for Academy Awards nomination. It is possible that the score was not included on the list because of a few songs included in the movie, which has been a common reason some of the best score of recent years weren't included, while others (BABEL, anyone???!) won despite the fact that the original score was only the tiny part of music included in the movie.

2011: December 19: Marco Beltrami wins!!
Congratulations to Marco Beltrami, who won Satellite Award last night for his score for SOUL SURFER. You can watch nice montage of behind the scenes photos from Soul Surfer sessions below. The video also features alternate version of Hald Pint Boards starting at 2:00.

Mireille Enos plays Gerry’s wife Karen Lane; Daniella Kertesz is his comrade in arms, Segen. Paramount Pictures will be releasing the movie on December 21, 2012.

2011: December 15: THE SURROGATE completed

2011: November 27: DIE HARD 5 confirmed
According to multiple sources Marco Beltrami has signed to score upcoming A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD, fifth movie in Die Hard franchise directed by John Moore. The plot of new movie is set in Russia and begins with John McClane heading to Moscow to sweet talk some cops into letting his apparently-wayward son out of jail for something he did, but when he gets there, things surrounding his son’s arrest are not as they appear and world-threatening terrorist hijinks ensue. The shooting starts in January 2012 and the movie will be released on February 14th, 2013. Marco Beltrami will be working on the score in the second half of 2012 and the movie will mark his fourth collaboration with director John Moore following such iconic scores as FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, THE OMEN and MAX PAYNE.
On the other hand, Marco Beltrami won't be scoring upcoming TOTAL RECALL remake directed by Len Wiseman, which is currently listed as one of upcoming projects of Harry Gregson-Williams.

2011: October 28: DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK CD cancelled, THE THING complete score bootleg
Numerous sources suggest that planned CD release of DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK is now cancelled. No statement was published by Lakeshore Records. There is still slight chance the score will get released eventually at the time of Blu-Ray / DVD release of the movie later this year, but at this moment, it's just wishful thinking.
On the more positive note, THE THING complete score recently leaked and it will be probably available all over the internet within the next few weeks. The 2CD set features 45 tracks and runs approximately 95 minutes. More details in the discography (click on the cover image).
