Will 2,215 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The film is out on October 20. The book it's based on is by Brian Selznick, the author of Hugo. It's been a very long time since I read Wonderstruck, but I remember finding it a beautiful, haunting, and inspiring tale (there are two interlocking story-lines, one told in pictures and one in words). But the reason I got excited about it and started this thread was because, in the film, one of the story-lines will be told as a silent, black and white film! (Source) The director described that part as being "dominated by music ... there is some sound design in it, but it is not naturalistic or literal." I obviously am really excited to see the results of this rather unique situation. It's not often that a composer gets this great of an opportunity! I'm not really familiar with Burwell, but I hope he knocks it out of the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Burwell has done some outstanding scores and he seems right for this. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 So you're in for anything he does next but not anything he's done before? Fine, be that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I've only seen Far From Heaven which was quite good. It had a very original approach to the subject matter. Brian Selznick? It's not a movie for children, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I've only seen Carol, which was quite good. Would love to see more of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Far From Heaven is fantastic and also gave us one last great Elmer Bernstein score before his death, so I'm forever grateful to Haynes for that at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
