Wonderstruck (dir. Todd Haynes, music by Carter Burwell)

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!

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?
