2008 Music
Preview - Quarter 3
A
Look Ahead at this Summer's
Soundtracks
The heat
is up, school is out, vacations
are on, fancy business ties are
off. What's not to like
about Summertime? Of
course, traditionally the Summer
is big-budget,
big-box-office-time for
Hollywood. They save their
money-makers just as we hit the
mid-year point. For 2008
there are some doozies.
There's a close race for the
title of "the most anticipated"
movie of the Summer between THE
DARK KNIGHT and INDIANA JONES
AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL
SKULL (which actually helps to
kick off blockbuster season in
May) and THE DARK KNIGHT (July
18). Your age bracket
might determine which is the
more anticipated flick, but in
terms of the music, both John
Williams and the
Zimmer/Newton-Howard
collaboration should keep our
ears busy for weeks. But
if that wasn't enough (and it
isn't)
there's plenty more action in
store for us this Summer with
John Powell's score for HANCOCK
and Danny Elfman's HELLBOY
2: THE GOLDEN ARMY.
In the
wake of all of these
mega-movies, let's not forget
the upcoming X-FILES 2 film,
BANGKOK DANGEROUS, and, oh yes,
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS.
Some sleepers out there to keep
an ear open for: THE
INTERNATIONAL (from the
composing crew who brought us
Perfume: The Story of a
Murderer), and SPACE CHIMPS
(Blue Man Group). That's
right, SPACE CHIMPS.
Just as
the film industry looks forward
to the Summer months, so does
the gaming industry. It
would take weeks to list all of
the games coming out this
Summer, so we've listed three of
the most-anticipated:
PROTOTYPE, TOO HUMAN, and THE
FORCE UNLEASHED. Look for
these to have some noteworthy
music attached!
Ok.
Enough with the intro,
