Listen to an Exclusive Colossal Soundtrack Cut

Colossal

An exclusive preview of composer Bear McCreary’s music for Nacho Vigalondo’s wild genre film Colossal

Composer Bear McCreary (The Walking Dead, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boy) continues to build his already staggering genre entertainment resume with his stirring, vaguely experimental score for director Nacho Vigalondo‘s new psychological kaiju film Colossal. Lakeshore Records will release McCreary’s Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the wild film digitally on April 7th and on CD May 12, 2017. And we have an exclusive preview of the track “A Monster Hypothesis” to share with today.

Colossal is about Gloria (Anne Hathaway) is an out-of-work party girl who finds herself in relationship trouble with her sensible boyfriend, Tim (Dan Stevens), and is forced to move back to her tiny hometown to get her life back on track. She reconnects with childhood friend Oscar (Jason Sudeikis), a good-natured bar owner with a coterie of drinking buddies (Tim Blake Nelson and Austin Stowell), and resumes her drinking lifestyle.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, a larger-than-life creature begins attacking Seoul, South Korea on a nightly basis, captivating spectators around the world. One night, Gloria is horrified to discover that her every move at a local playground is being mimicked on a catastrophic scale by the rampaging beast. When Gloria’s friends get wind of the bizarre phenomenon, a second, more destructive creature emerges, prompting an epic showdown between the two monsters.

“I chose to focus the music entirely on Gloria,” explained McCreary. “We witness the fantastic events through her eyes, so I generally chose to score her reaction to the events, rather than the events themselves.”

McCreary took an unusual approach to working on the film – he started at the end.  “It was vitally important that the score deliver an epic, soaring finale, without overpowering or destroying the tone of the film. The last 12 minutes of the film was the first thing I wrote.  Once the final reel was approved by the director and studio it was an easier process to reverse engineer the rest of the score.” He continued, “I wanted the score to feel almost schizophrenic for the first hour of the film. Like, some edgy indie rock band scored half of it, and a classically trained orchestral composer scored the other half. Then, as the film progresses, the two musical styles merge to form a coherent vision.”

Check out McCreary’s evocative track below and be sure to catch this oddball genre film when it hits theaters on April 7th.

What We Learned About Midnight, Texas at WonderCon 2017

What We Learned About Midnight, Texas at WonderCon 2017

Here’s what we learned about the upcoming NBC show Midnight, Texas at WonderCon 2017

NBC‘s upcoming horror series Midnight, Texas, from Charlaine Harris (the author behind True Blood), will premiere on July 25, 2017. In the show, we find a town full of creatures, and the only people that stick out are the normal ones. We got a chance to check out the premiere episode at WonderCon 2017 in Anaheim, CA, was well as a panel with the cast, including François Arnaud, Dylan Bruce, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Arielle Kebbel, Jason Lewis, and Sarah Ramos, as well as executive producers Monica Owusu-Breen and David Janollari.

Midnight, Texas stars François Arnaud (The Borgias) as Manfred, a charming, powerful psychic who can communicate with spirits and finds safety in Midnight surrounding himself with both human and supernatural allies. Midnight is also home to Bobo, proprietor of Midnight’s local pawn shop (Dylan Bruce, Orphan Black); Fiji, a witch who owns the local wiccan shop (Parisa Fitz-Henley, Luke Cage); Olivia, a mysterious assassin with a weapon for every occasion (Arielle Kebbel, The Vampire Diaries); Joe, an angel who knows all of Midnight’s secrets having been around for millennia (Jason Lewis, Sex and the City); Lemuel, a wise vampire with a long history in Midnight (Peter Mensah, True Blood); Creek, an aspiring writer with big dreams (Sarah Ramos, Parenthood); and Rev. Emilio Sheehan, who can’t resist the pull of a full moon (Yul Vazquez, Captain Phillips).

In the first episode of Midnight, Texas, we meet Manfred, who is working as a high-end psychic. Something goes wrong and a ghost possesses him and almost murders a client. He also owes someone named Hightower money, so he takes off for Midnight, Texas. As he travels in his very old van, the ghost of his grandmother laughingly tells him he’ll be safe there. The town isn’t really happy to see him, but he quickly meets a sweet girl named Creek who is clearly smitten with him. He also meets a vampire, a hit woman, a human pawn shop owner, a witch and more. Where a murder happens, he realizes that this town is hated by outsiders and that there is more going on here than he realized.

After the screening, we heard from the cast and writer. One of the things Owusu-Breen stressed is that she loves the books. (The entire cast said they read them.) She said that she added, rather than changed things. She also spoke about revealing the characters, especially Joe with his wings, early on. “I tried to play closer to the vest with things,” early on, she explained. She said it was more interesting to tell us what the characters are, and leave the mysteries behind them be the reveals. “We let the audience know who they are and ask questions about that. It’s not their powers that make them interesting. They’re interesting and they have powers…The fact that he’s an angel is just one of the many things that makes Joe, Joe.” Lewis said he was so happy to be playing Joe, joking about how the wings were really his. He said his inner 10-year old loved working on Midnight, Texas, because he gets to do fantastic things. 

We learned from Arnaud and Owusu-Breen that Manfred’s tattoos have a meaning. The arrows that go up one arm and down the other are the way he channels energy. “I tried to fight for more piercings. In the book he had more piercings,” Arnaud said.

Bruce talked about Bobo and how he fits in Midnight, even though he’s human. “It’s so much fun for me because I feel like he’s been there for a while. He’s used to Lem [the vampire]. He’s used to knowing that Olivia is a hit woman. When Joe spreads his wings, he’s like, that man is magical! Bobo was raised Christian and now he’s got an angel living in his town.” He also praised the audience, saying, “Sci-fi fans are the best fans there are.”

Fitz-Henley said the cast hung out after the pilot and that they do all the time. “Being in a place like Albuquerque…people call it Albu-quirky for a reason. We’re together all the time. We’re not driving across LA…we built a family.” Ramos said that Owusu-Breen really grounded her characters, so that things are happening, and then the powers come out. Kebbel said, “I love the messages we can give in the supernatural world. Our show is a place where weirdos can fit in. Every one of our characters have a dark past. We have secrets. We don’t ask about them.” She said they help each other out and that “one person’s strength is another person’s weakness…we can make it really big and exciting, but there are messages under it.”
