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.
2019: March 27: Marco Beltrami
to be Honored by Ghent Film Festival Marco Beltrami will be honorary guest of this

feature Brussels Philharmonic conducted by Dirk Brossé -
the only confirmed parts of the programme so far are FREE SOLO
and A QUIET PLACE. Several other suites will be also presented
during the main event on October 18th. The gala will also
include some music from last year's Discovery of the Year
Award recipient Tamar-kali. Tickets are already on sale
through festival's website.
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 May 3rd 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.
