Wanna Hear Alexandre Desplat's THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON Score Early...And For Free??
Merrick here...
Warners has opened up a webpage pimping Alexandre Desplat's THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON score for BAFTA consideration. You can hear the entire score via this site, as far as I can tell.
HEAR IT!!!
Click the BENJAMIN BUTTON image, find the "SCORE" tab on the page you'll access; a new window will open up offering many other tracks (approx 23 I think).
The score CD for this won't be released 'til December 16 (HERE), so this is a nice & early listen.
You'll also notice that, available via the same link is THE DARK KNIGHT score (click on TDK image & follow the same procedure referenced above). While still eligible for BAFTA consideration, TDK was recently disqualified from Oscar consideration by asinine Academy members (details HERE).
HEAR IT!!!

I am very curious to see this movie. I really like Fincher's work.
-
AICN got a scoop before Entertainment Weekly! And its... an bland music score... of a movie that is not out yet. Hmm. Okay.
-
it says Paul is dead and also the movie makes some kind of sense.
-
...like Zodiac and the Panic Room were. The emperor has no clothes.
-
I'm digging the score a lot though. It's somewhere between Chopin and Sadie
-
He really "grew up" as a filmmaker with Zodiac, so I can't wait to see his follow-up to that truly great and underrated film.
-
Rest assured. It wont.
-
read the story just above this one. you = pwnd.
-
Hope the film is as good as this
-
what kind of world do we live in when a composer using countless assistants can't get an oscar. it's not right dammit
-
you can hear Elfman's score for it. it may finally give him is oscar
-
If Warner *really* want him to win an Oscar/BAFTA/whatever, they could at least spell his name right. Sheesh...
-
... To the top of my buying list. This movie will be a splendid experience.
-
I kinda like it.
-
is heartbreakingly brilliant.
-
...which is a good thing. It's like aural Norman Rockwell.

This movie is a big bag of gas. It will likely be an Oscar darling, but there is nothing going on below the surface. The source material is not even that great (you can read a legal copy online), but what little substance it had is removed by the film. (In the story, Benjamin is born with the body AND mind of an old man, and both reverse. In the film, his body is old but his mind develops like a normal child)Therefore, the way the movie presents it, living in reverse is really not that different than living forwards: you're an awkward youth, then you live, then you live it up, then you lose the ones you love, then you lose yourself.Worse, Benjamin makes a decision in the third act that is so selfish and illogical, that it undermines any bit of sympathy you might have for the character.I believe Fincher's a great talent, but he needs to sit in a room with Seven and Fight Club on a loop and remind himself of what movies are supposed to be.Sorry for the soliloquy.

Sweet Jesus!!!

Agreed. Desplat's soundtrack to Birth is one of my favourites. It's hard to come by (especially in the UK), but it's worth it.
-
There's much better to be had from 2008 than that.

First off, "pwned"=Lame. Secondly, you are using a new VERSION of a trailer we have already seen as a real honest to goodness example of a SCOOP? You are easily impressed. In fact, wasn't it Entertainment Weekly that got actual shots of the characters from Star Trek before AICN? Didn't AICN post a link to EW to show us all the pictures? So really, EW once again "pwned" this site- as you might say. I just remember the days when AICN had COOL stuff. Stuff that was from honest to goodness spies. Things that were not supposed to be seen by the general public. SNEAKY stuff! Not stuff supplied by the studios (like this trailer was). I still love this site, I still find it enjoyable. but, sadlyl, go elsewhere to find new, cool news FIRST. Then come here to read about it later.
-
they said it didn't differ enough from his previous work, is anyone surprised that TDK was disqualified for equally dubious reasoning.
Has Desplat won an Oscar yet? He should. Great talent.
