three articles about "Billion Dollar Composer: Marco Beltrami"

himself as well as many directors he has worked with over
the years. Some offer even brief glimpses on the upcoming

WOLVERINE ("We have a big juicy challenge ahead of
us. One of our first tasks will be to find a sound that
reflects that reality but doesn't turn the movie into a
teriyaki restaurant.") or Tommy Lee Jones who is
currently preparing his third movie as the director - period
movie about Homestead Act in Nebraska ("I'm already
talking to him about it. We won't score the movie without
him."). You can read more about this latest project here
