2013: October 06: Marco
Beltrami Master
Class from Poznan, Poland As a little dual birthday gift for the fans of
Marco Beltrami (born October 7th) and Ray Costa (born October 6th),
here is finally recording of the panel they held during this year's
Transatlantyk Film Festival on August 8th in Poznao, Poland. In the
interview Marco Beltrami is discussing mostly his most recent scores
for World War Z and The Wolverine as well as his recent
award-winning and nominated scores for Soul Surfer, The Hurt Locker,
etc. Also discussed are various other aspects of his job and his
beginnings. Since the panel was basically master class for aspiring
composers, Q+A is also included in the end. You can check out
the recording below:

2013: September 25: SEVENTH SON

recording his score for THE SEVENTH SON. The score was recorded
over the last 5 days in London's Abbey Road Studios and
features 90-piece orchestra and 30 members of London Voices with
only small amount of electronics. The score is described as"hugely rich orchestral based score with great
complexity and organic growth." Still no release date of the
movie has been confirmed but if there are no more delays the movie
should be released in late Spring/early Summer 2014. Here is at
least a few pictures from the sessions:
2013: September 21: CARRIE songs

be released by Columbia Records on October 15th, 2013. Unfortunately

careful what you buy. No score album has been announced so
far.

2013: September 02: The Seventh
Son still in trouble
While Marco Beltrami is currentlyworking on his score (some
elements have been recorded back in early August including
solo harpsichord) as well as new movie with Tommy Lee Jones THE
HOMESMAN, it seems that it will take much longer than originally
expected before we get to see the movie and hear new Marco
Beltrami's score. THE SEVENTH SON was originally set to be released
this Fall and Tuomas Kantelinen recorded his score earlier this
year. A.R. Rahman was also briefly involved but claimed to have
backed out of the project on his Twitter account. Shortly after the
movie got delayed until January 17, 2014 and Marco Beltrami was
hired to score new version, which was still supposed to be
distributed by Warner Bros. while Legendary Pictures financed the
production. But the deal between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.
is coming to its end and while there is still few movies that are
currently in production and will be released during 2014 as part of
original Legendary Pictures/Warner Bros. deal, THE SEVENTH SON isn't
one of them. The movie will get released through Universal Pictures
who will be handling distribution for Legendary Pictures for
the next 5 years and new release date will have to be announced by
the new distributor. The movie is still listed as mid January
release in Korea and Thailand only. No release dates are currently
announced for US, EU and rest of the world.

2013: August 11: New Project
Announced: 1864 Marco Beltrami will reunite with
director Ole Bornedal (NIGHTWATCH, DEEP WATER, I AM DINA, THE SUBSTITUTE) scoring his upcoming
epic TV series 1864 - Denmark's most expensive television
production ever. Historical TV series is revolving around the
Battle of Dybbol, which was a national drama for the whole
Denmark, as declared to the press by Bornedal: "1864 was a fateful year for Denmark. The
nation lost the Battle of Dybbol to the Prussians and, in turn, two
thirds of its land and population, 5,000 troops and a good measure
of self-respect. The ignominious defeat became a national trauma
that can still make Danes feel small". 1864 is currently in
production and will be released in 2014. You can check a few very
promising photos here .

Class with Ray Costa, attended Closing Gala Concert and gave several

me - especially after missing the opportunity to meet Marco
Beltrami at the festivals in Paris, Cordoba and Tenerife; Poznan was
not to be missed. Many thanks to Marco Beltrami, Sara Andon, Robert

sessions photographs The recording sessions for James
Mangold's sequel entitled THE WOLVERINE has started last week and
continued until yesterday at The Newman Scoring Stage at 20th
Century Fox. The sessions took slightly longer than originally
expected as it was required that major part of the score was
recorded with full orchestra as well as in stripes spotlighting
various groups and offering more possibilites in the final mix
(strings, woodwinds, brass, percussions). Some parts needed to be
recorded in even more detailed form than that. Anyway, here is a few
pictures from the sessions featuring the composer Marco Beltrami,
flute soloist Sara Andon, Buck Sanders and composers Scott
Glasgow and Diego Navarro who visited the sessions. Click on

2013: April 17: Marco Beltrami
scores WORLD WAR Z As mentioned earlier today Marco
Beltrami is currently in London recording his score for WORLD WAR Z.
The sessions actually started last week at British Groove Studios,
where some additional elements (28 strings, electric guitar
and percussions) were recorded before the sessions were moved
to Abbey Road Studios for full orchestra, which is currently being
recorded there under the batton of Matt Dunkley.
2013: April 17: Marco
Beltrami discusses THE WOLVERINE After having recently recorded
SNOWPIERCER and while he is currently in London recording his score
for WORLD WAR Z, Marco Beltrami has already started working on his
next project THE WOLVERINE and here is an excerpt from Jon
Burlingame's article in Variety where he
mentioned a few details about his next score: As for Marco Beltrami,
who is just starting to write music for "The Wolverine" - the fifth
cinema outing for Hugh Jackman as the mysterious, long-clawed
"X-Men" character - he says "there are
definitely expectations, just with the nature of the project. But
it's fun to play with those expectations." Even though the
story takes place in Japan,"musically, it's
not going to be overtly Japanese because it could easily fall into
cliche,"Beltrami says. He doesplan on
using traditional Japanese instruments (including the koto and
massive taiko drums) but "in a non-traditional way,"he
adds. Director James Mangold (with whom Beltrami worked on
"3:10 to Yuma," which earned the composer his first Oscar
nomination)"has made a real original movie
here, so there is room for a less traditional score, less of a
cookie-cutter musical orientation."He will record in L.A. at
the end of May.
2013: April 08: new project THE
HOMESMAN Earlier this month Tommy Lee
Jones started shooting his upcoming drama THE HOMESMAN, including
cast of TLJ, Meryl Streep, John Ligthgow, James Spader, Hilary
Swank and Tim Blake Nelson. There is currently no release date
set for this ambitious pioneer-era story, but with such a strong
cast, it is already expected to be one of the contenders
of upcoming award season and should therefore be released by
the end of this year.

PIERCER score sample While there was still no release
date announced, it seems that there is finally first sample from
Marco Beltrami¨s score for SNOW PIERCER finally available on YouTube
and you can listen to it below. There was one more sample claiming
to be from the score posted on YouTube but that was obvious fake.
This one, while still suspicious sounds like it could actually come
from the score, which is described as "hybrid small
orchestra/electronic score". Also posted on
the YouTube is a little score restore featuring opening sequence of
WARM BODIES with full Marco Beltrami's score, which was partially
replaced with a couple of songs. You can watch both the final and
score only version added to the previous post.

While Marco Beltrami is currentlyworking on his score (some
elements have been recorded back in early August including
solo harpsichord) as well as new movie with Tommy Lee Jones THE
HOMESMAN, it seems that it will take much longer than originally
expected before we get to see the movie and hear new Marco
Beltrami's score. THE SEVENTH SON was originally set to be released
this Fall and Tuomas Kantelinen recorded his score earlier this
year. A.R. Rahman was also briefly involved but claimed to have
backed out of the project on his Twitter account. Shortly after the
movie got delayed until January 17, 2014 and Marco Beltrami was
hired to score new version, which was still supposed to be
distributed by Warner Bros. while Legendary Pictures financed the
production. But the deal between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.
is coming to its end and while there is still few movies that are
currently in production and will be released during 2014 as part of
original Legendary Pictures/Warner Bros. deal, THE SEVENTH SON isn't
one of them. The movie will get released through Universal Pictures
who will be handling distribution for Legendary Pictures for
the next 5 years and new release date will have to be announced by
the new distributor. The movie is still listed as mid January
release in Korea and Thailand only. No release dates are currently
announced for US, EU and rest of the world.
