2011: December 21: Official website
re-designed Marco Beltrami's official website was just
re-launched in re-designed version featuring numerous samples nearly
from all Marco Beltrami's scores. Also the
first photo of Marco Beltrami with his Satellite Award was included
there and higher-resolution version is available when you click on
the image on the right.
2011: December 21: SOUL SURFER found uneligible at
Academy Awards For whatever unspecified reason,
SOUL SURFER isn't included on the short list of scores eligible for
Academy Awards nomination. It is possible that the score was not
included on the list because of a few songs included in the movie,
which has been a common reason some of the best score of recent
years weren't included, while others (BABEL, anyone???!) won despite
the fact that the original score was only the tiny part of music
included in the movie.
2011: December 19:
Marco Beltrami wins!! Congratulations to Marco
Beltrami, who won Satellite Award last night for his score for SOUL
SURFER. You can watch nice montage of behind the scenes photos from
Soul Surfer sessions below. The video also features alternate
version of Hald Pint Boards starting at 2:00.
2011: December 15: New project
announced WORLD WAR Z Marco Beltrami has recently

(AMC's The Killing), James Badge Dale (AMC's Rubicon) and Bryan
Cranston (AMC's Breaking Bad). The story revolves around United
Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a
race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling
armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself.
Mireille Enos plays Gerry's wife Karen Lane; Daniella Kertesz is his
comrade in arms, Segen. Paramount Pictures will be
releasing the movie on December 21,

DIE HARD 5 confirmed According to multiple sources
Marco Beltrami has signed to score upcoming A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD,
fifth movie in Die Hard franchise directed by John Moore. The plot
of new movie is set in Russia and begins with John McClane heading
to Moscow to sweet talk some cops into letting his
apparently-wayward son out of jail for something he did, but when he
gets there, things surrounding his son's arrest are not as they
appear and world-threatening terrorist hijinks ensue. The shooting
starts in January 2012 and the movie will be released on February
14th, 2013. Marco Beltrami will be working on the score in the
second half of 2012 and the movie will mark his fourth
collaboration with director John Moore following such iconic scores
as FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, THE OMEN and MAX PAYNE. On the other hand, Marco Beltrami won't be
scoring upcoming TOTAL RECALL remake directed by Len Wiseman, which
is currently listed as one of upcoming projects of Harry
Gregson-Williams.
2011: October 28:
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK CD cancelled, THE THING complete score
bootleg Numerous sources suggest that planned CD
release of DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK is now cancelled. No
statement was published by Lakeshore Records. There is still slight
chance the score will get released eventually at the time of Blu-Ray
/ DVD release of the movie later this year, but at this moment, it's
just wishful thinking. On the more positive
note, THE THING complete score recently leaked and it will be
probably available all over the internet within the next few weeks.
The 2CD set features 45 tracks and runs approximately 95 minutes.

07: KNOWING and SOUL SURFER "isolated score" clips Just
edited a few KNOWING videos, which were all a bit more difficult as
there are minor differencies between the music on CD and music in
the film. You can watch the following on YouTube: New York, It's the Sun, Caleb Leaves. Also added were two more
videos for SOUL SURFER: Hymn for Bethany, Big Drum Competition / Paddle Battle .
2011: June
20: SOUL SURFER "isolated score" One
more "isolated score" video for SOUL SURFER - cue Back in the Water:
2011: June
19: SOUL SURFER "isolated score" Here
is the brief music only sample from SOUL SURFER - featuring cue
Bettany's Wave as an isolated score. In case there are some
difficulties with YouTube, I will upload the file to this webiste...
unfortunately the matching of music and image isn't probably 100%
accurate as for example middle section of this piece is shortened in
the movie, therefore I edited it a little bit as well.

Beltrami interview at FSMonline You
can order the SOUL SURFER score CD-R on demand here. Marco Beltrami
was also recently interviewed by FSMonline's Justin Craig. You can
read the interview here. Marco is not only
talking about his experience with SCREAM 4 but also mentions first
detail regarding his latest score for THE THING, which is currently
nearing completition: "It's a prequel to
the John Carpenter [film]. There's definitely a reference to the
Morricone [score]. One of the things I'm really having fun with is
using the orchestra as a complete organism to itself. It almost
expands and contracts like breathing...like going from a single note
expanding out to the full range of the orchestra then going back
down. That's the motif for the thing. It's a very tough thing to
mock up and show how it's going to be. It's sort of an experiment.
Hopefully the filmmakers aren't too nervous. It should be a lot of
fun."

story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark
attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion
again, through the love of her family, her sheer determination and
unwavering faith. The film features an all-star cast, including
AnnaSophia Robb and Helen Hunt, with Carrie Underwood in her film
debut, and Dennis Quaid. The film opens on April 8, 2011 and you can
