    Haven't managed to finish the album yet. But I'm sure I'd like the action stuff.

    I hope Varese pull a Largo Winch and release the score in Feburary despite no confirmed US release date for the film. That music sounded fantastic.

    I think it's a nice theme but unless it's being played it's quite a snoozer aside from the two or three really short action bits.

    The theme is what turned me off. It's nice, but if that's the spine of the score, I have little interest in hearing the rest of the 'body', so to speak. I'll give it another try sometime soon though.

    I'd not call the thematic material of New moon, snoozer.

    Steve, i gather you're a fan of his GOLDEN COMPASS, LARGO WINCH, The Golden Compass and Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium too?

    Yes, I'm a fan of both Golden Compass and The Golden Compass. And indeed Largo Winch.

    Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium I will need to give another listen.

    I'm really looking forward to this film. The novel is excellent. I don't really see how anyone who doesn't know about the circle of corruption surrounding our former Prime Minister could get much out of it, though, unless the source material has been changed a lot. The novel's essentially a long dig at the various extremely dodgy goings-on of Tony Blair, without really naming them, so unless you know about them anyway then it's hard to imagine this is for you.

    Can't remember any sequels he's done where he scored the original.

    Although the first twilight wasn't his of course, his score for the sequel is ages better. If that's an indication.

  23. Anthony's question has to do whether Desplat tends to use all his good ideas on the first film in a series, and then not be able to go far in the sequel. I suspect he would have done fine with the GOLDEN COMPASS sequel (since he planned the score as though there were two sequels), but with LARGO, there probably wasn't a huge probability that there would be a sequel. I guess provided the sequel goes to new places than Cuba, Croatia, Hong Kong (the locations in the original), and there's a new femme fatale involve, they would draw new ideas out of Desplat.

    THE GHOSTWRITER
    Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

    Music Composed by Alexandre Desplat

    Ewan McGregor
    Pierce Brosnan
    Kim Catrall
    Olivia Williams

    The New Film From Roman Polanski

    THE GHOSTWRITER tells the story of a former British Prime Minister, Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan), who is holed up on an island off the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. in midwinter, writing his memoirs. When his long-standing aide drowns, a professional ghostwriter (Ewan McGregor) is sent out to help him finish the book. The anonymous ghost writer is quickly drawn into a political and sexual intrigue involving Lang’s wife, Ruth (Olivia Williams) and his aide (Kim Cattrall). Hanging over Lang is the threat of a war crimes trial and a mysterious secret from his past that threatens to jeopardize international relations. The cast also includes Jim Belushi, Robert Pugh and Tom Wilkinson. THE GHOSTWRITER is based on the novel The Ghost written by best-selling author Robert Harris. It won the International Thriller Writers’ Award for best novel of 2008. Harris joined director Roman Polanski in adapting the book for the big screen.

    Academy Award nominee Alexandre Desplat (The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button) has created a suspenseful and captivating work, which recalls the classic thriller scores of the legendary Bernard Herrmann.

    Summit Entertainment opens THE GHOSTWRITER nationwide on February 19.

    Additional music by Atli Örvarsson, Heitor Pereira, Henry Jackman, James Dooley and Ramin Djawadi...oops, shouldn't have mentioned these

    Me neither, ordering as soon a Colosseum add it to their site.

    Btw, was it confirmed or just assumed the music in the trailer was Desplat? It certainly did sound like him, but I just want to check that wasn't just another one of his scores?
  27. I've heard quite a few of them, and all of the thrillers, and it isn't one of those.
    Someone at FSM seemed to know for sure that it was his music. It might be safer to wait until it's known for sure what sort of score it is though.

    Good to know. Did he admit more after he told they would have gone to Iraq anyway?

    He'll be speaking in a few weeks but don't expect any revelations, it'll be the usual spin.
