2012: May 23: Marco Beltrami to attend FIMUCITE 7
in Tenerife Marco Beltrami
will be participating not only the film
music festival in Cordoba, Spain, where he will
be awarded with newly established Elmer Bernstein Award
for Outstanding Contributions to the Art of Film Scoring, but
he will also visit Fimucité 7 held in Tenerife on
July 5-14. The event, which is planned as part of this year's
Celebration of Varese Sarabande's 35th Anniversary, will
also feature David Arnold and the festival will host the
highlights of these two well-known composers that will be
performed July 12 at Auditorio de Tenerife “Adán Martin”,

programme of the concert hasn't been revealed yet, but you can
read more about this event at its official website.
2012: May 23: THE WOLVERINE 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 the images to
display them in full resolution.

2012: 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 does plan 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.
2012: 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.
2012: April 08: CARRIE trailer New trailer for CARRIE
was finally released. Although the movie was originally planned
to be released by now, it has been pushed back until this
year's Halloween, also giving more time to
Marco Beltrami to work on the score considering his
currently superbusy schedule. You can watch the trailer below:
2012: March
27: THE WOLVERINE: International trailer After two very short teasers released earlier

James Mangold, following Oscar nominated score for 3:10 TO
YUMA. THE WOLVERINE will be released on July 26th.
