Premier
2-CD release of sizzling Marco Beltrami sci-fi horror score!
Dimension Films presents in 1998, Robert Rodriguez directs,
Kevin Williamson scripts, attractive cast features Jordana
Brewster, Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, Clea DuVall, Robert
Patrick, Piper Laurie, Shawn Hatosy, Salma Hayek, many others.
The students at Herrington High School are rowdy crop, tough
on each other and their teachers. Then without fanfare, they
become targets of an alien virus that turns people into
monsters. And unfriendly ones at that. Mayhem ensues. Beltrami
was already a veteran of the horror genre, having scored
dynamic music for Scream and Mimic for the same studio prior
to The Faculty. For this intense and violent thriller,
Beltrami scores for full orchestra in a dazzling display of
aggressive action music requiring the players to provide
numerous techniques with their instruments, from entrances at
different times and pitches to uncommon bowing techniques,
horn glissandi, detuned instruments and numerous other
devices. Rhythms are fierce, the harmonic vernacular
frightening. In balance, Beltrami also offers undercurrents of
music oblivious to the alien invasion, a musical calm before
the storm. Action highlights are many: “Offensive Coach”
provides more than three minutes of riveting intensity, “Pop
Pop Fizz Fizz” offers berserk orchestral fury, “Just Say No”
builds to a dynamic rhythmic finish, “Standing Tall” is pure
drama and action, “Zeke And The Geek” offers orchestral razzle
dazzle, many others follow suit. “Love Me Tender” is
especially exciting! Ditto “Modest Mary” and “Drugs Kill”. On
the opposite side, Beltrami offers a strong theme for Casey
and another for the student body as a whole. Special spotlight
goes to “Lounge Lizards”, where Beltrami opens with his
haunting minor key idea for Casey, slides into the broader
student body theme, then works the music inexorably into
musical chaos and action. When all is said and done, “The Kids
Are Alright” ushers in the remaining student body to a rich
development of their theme, leading to the closing powerhouse
rhythmic treatment of the tune for “Extra Credit”. Two
following cues offer an alternate version of “Casey” and
Beltrami’s demo version of “Too Cool For School”. This scores
packs fireworks! Tim Greiving provides informative booklet
notes, Kay Marshall designs the dramatic packaging. John
Kurlander records and mixes at Skywalker Sound in October and
November 1998, William Boston, Peter Anthony, Robert Elhai,
Jon Kull, Kevin Manthei orchestrate, Marco Beltrami composes,
conducts the Hollywood Studio Orchestra. Intrada Special

New project: RENFIELD Marco
Beltrami has been hired and is set to record his score for
upcoming horror comedy RENFIELD this weekend. Directed
by Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie, Tomorrow War), the
film centers on Renfield (Nicholas Hoult), who has grown sick
and tired of his centuries as Dracula’s (Nicolas Cage) lackey.
The henchman finds a new lease on life and maybe even
redemption when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic
cop Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina). Based on the story by Robert
Kirkman (Walking Dead) and screenplay by Ryan Ridley
(Community, Rick and Morty), RENFIELD also stars Ben Schwartz,
Shohreh Aghdashloo and Caroline Williams. McKay and Kirman are
also producing the project together with David Alpert and
Bryan & Sean Furst. Universal Pictures will
release Skybound Entertainment production on April 14,
2023.
