regarding VIKAREN directed by Ole Bornedal. The score (as was
already mentioned) is finished and Marco recorded the music in
Europe in July. The film features additional music composed by
Marcus Trumpp, Bill Boston and Dana Niu. Latino Reviews published
very interesting interview with Guillermo del Toro about his future
projects including HELLBOY: THE GOLDEN ARMY and HELLBOY 3. "We
definitely have all the regulars – Hellboy, Abe Sapien and Liz
Sherman are back. We have two characters from the F world, which are
a prince and a princess that we will be casting very soon, but not
coming back is John Myers. He's not coming back. Kroenen is back in
a very small sort of cameo appearance and Professor Broom, John
Hurt, is not back. Evidently Kroenen took care of that. And it's my
greatest hope that we do well enough that we can do 'Hellboy III'
because that would be very unexpected and a very dramatic finish for
that arch. Mike [Mignola], when wrote on two we thought a little bit
about where we would go on three which is a little darker than the
other two and hopefully we'll get there. It would be Hellboy
basically fulfilling the prophecy." You can read the whole interview
here.
20/08/06: According to the latest news provided by Buck Sanders,
Marco finished his work on Ole Bornedal's upcoming project VIKAREN
in July in Copenhagen. He conducted and supervised the score

was recorded by 80-piece The London Symphony Orchestra and 24-member
choir. The End Credits suite will feature arangements of Goldsmith
original score beginning with short statement of "Ave Satani." Here
is the full comment from the luck attender of the sessions: "I did
hear the montage sequence for the end credits that features Jerry
Goldsmith's music (that was booming out of the 6.1 speakers) and it
starts off with a short section of "Ave Satani" and I'm sure that
there'll be some grand choral stuff here. Compared to Jerry
Goldsmith's rather sparse original score Beltrami's music is very
different. It is undoubtedly a Beltrami score and if you enjoyed his
more recent scores such as Hellboy then you should like this." The
score includes 39 tracks with about 75 minutes of score to be
included in the film and some additional alternate cues. The other
lucky attender, Dimi from Germany, was able to make few photos
during the sessions.
20/04/06 : There are first news floating around the internet
about the lucky visitors attending session of Marco Beltrami's score
for the John Moore's upcoming remake of THE OMEN. The most
interesting news was brought by today's Cinescape: "he is using a
choir (and some of the texts written for the old score), but … he is
not using any of Jerry's score, although he uses a similar
three-note motif that he then develops differently – in fact the
music is quite different, but in the end credits he includes an
excellent arrangement of Goldsmith's music, which I think is a good
way to acknowledge Jerry's work on the first movie and give homage
to one of the best scores ever written.”This is the first time Marco
has ever used the choir with lyrics. Also there is new international
teaser that you can download her e (14,6 MB) or is available on the
film's official website .The official site of actress Julie Stylers
offers a couple of new photos from the film here .
