20: DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK delayed, theme demo added to audio
section
Guillermo Del Toro-produced remake of 1973
televion horror movie, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, was originally
set for release January 21, 2011. The R-rated movie was now delayed
by Miramax and there is no official release date set for the United
States at this moment. The movie should still open in various
territories such as Australia and Iceland (at least the release
dates at IMDB hasn't been changed yet for these countries). Del Toro
commented on the news: "It's been 13 years trying to make this
movie, and we finally make it," he said of the movie about an estate
whose basement is inhabited by devilish creatures. "It's quite
shocking. I am trying to see the silver lining in this." One person
close to the matter said that Disney didn't want to spend marketing
money to release a picture that it wouldn't own. It originally was
going to put out the movies on behalf of the new Miramax owners in
exchange for a percentage of revenue. Instead, the person said,
Filmyard will find a different distribution partner to put out
"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" after the acquisition closes --
probably sometime later next year. 2010: December 19: 13 trailer
released, 13 and MY SOUL TO TAKE samples now online
The trailer for the remake of french thriller
13 has been released. In the meantime the film has been already
screening in various places worldwide (such as Australia, Greece,
Russia and Argentina among others) and DVD screener is also floating
around. No release date has been set for US so far. Feel free to
check the trailer below and first sample from 13 score in the Audio

now available
New section added today. Feel
free to post any comments related to the subject of this website or
its content.
 2010: August 01: FLIGHT OF THE
PHOENIX expanded score finally available
In October 2004 Marco Beltrami recorded approx
107 minutes of original score for his first collaboration
with director John Moore. The whole score was unfortunately slightly
re-edited in the postproduction, used in different places than
originally intended and also mixed so low that what was left in the
movie, was almost unrecognizable in the final mix. Regular release
of the score on Varese Sarabande records offered great 40-minute
selection from one of the best Marco Beltrami's scores in stunning
sound quality but it not only didn't include some major sequences
from the movie but also omitted choir from the final piece of the
score: Homeward. Also finale of the movie - Nomad Suprises - is
finaly presented here in complete film version (3:28 compated
to 3:04 on Varese album).
The bootleg
that leaked recently is still very far from complete presentation of
the whole score but with more than 20 minutes of additional material
it offers welcomed addition to Marco Beltrami's discography...
Tracklist coming soon and in the meantime you can already enjoy 3
brand new unreleased cues available in the aucio section.
2010: July 27: DON'T BE
AFRAID OF THE DARK at ComicCon
Producer/Writer Guillermo del Toro and director
Troy Nixey visited annual ComicCon in San Diego and discussed their
upcoming remake of 70s TV horror DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK.
According to Del Toro, who co-wrote the movie with Matthew Robbins:
" By agreement, we shot a movie with no
sex, no gore or profanity, because we thought it was the way to
avoid R. The MPAA came back and said, it didn't matter, that it
would be rated R anyway, for 'pervasive scariness', which in a way
is fantastic to hear. " The film will be released on Junuary
21st, 2010. No trailer has been released so far but you can at least
watch interview with the director Troy Nixey:
