A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

Patrick [Lussier] took over the film as director and editor and that’s when he asked whether I’d be interested in scoring it – which, of course, I was. I didn’t see the film before [Patrick] came onboard, so I don’t know exactly what he did, but I hear it wasn’t working so well. There were a few scenes where he had some notes on what producers liked – what kind of music they liked. There were a few scenes that were tricky – one of them was the scene at the end where Jessica Alba, who is on the violin, and the orchestra are playing. The piece of music that she was playing was already written and the scene had been filmed but it wasn’t working so Patrick suggested that we actually have her playing the theme – the movie’s theme. They wanted something a little more climatic for the end of the movie and the current music didn’t work so this would work better. Considering, as I said, the scene had already been shot so doing that scene, after the fact, was very difficult. That was probably the biggest challenge of the picture.
