Synopsis: In 2029 the mutant
population has shrunken significantly due to genetically
modified plants designed to reduce mutant powers and the X-Men
have disbanded. Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling,
has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a
chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he
keeps hidden away. One day, a female stranger asks Logan to
drive a girl named Laura to the Canadian border. At first he
refuses, but the Professor has been waiting for a long time
for her to appear. Laura possesses an extraordinary fighting
prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is pursued by
sinister figures working for a powerful corporation. Logan is
forced to ask himself if he can or even wants to put his
remaining powers to good use.
A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER
There are a few different things he wanted in
this score. One of them was a simple minimalist idea, which is the
piano thing at the beginning, for Logan, which is because, you know,
he’s on his own, but also to set up the mystery. You’re not really
sure what’s going to happen. So I persuaded that. When I started on
this, Mangold played me some scores and he encouraged me to listen
to some scores, like Taxi Driver, which he liked a lot. And the
first thing I did was try something like Taxi Driver, but it didn’t
quite have the right feel. But that was what I was trying to
capture, was some of that intensity. So there is a
minimalist feel in certain areas, which allowed me to explore in
different areas. There’s definitely western overtones to the picture and to the score itself.
Not in a traditional manner with orchestration or anything, but
yeah, definitely. I think that every score I do is a Western. Maybe
the homage elements lend itself a little bit to the feel of that.
That alone hero type of thing, which is something I use a little bit
sparsely throughout the score, but it’s also processed, in certain respects.
