Jay 37,042 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Quote Michael Giacchino to Score Thomas Bezucha’s ‘Let Him Go’ Posted: December 28, 2019 by filmmusicreporter in Film Scoring Assignments Tags: Let Him Go, Michael Giacchino, Thomas Bezucha Michael Giacchino has been hired to score the upcoming thriller Let Him Go. The film is written and directed by Thomas Bezucha and stars Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Lesley Manville, Will Brittain, Jeffrey Donovan, Kayli Carter and Booboo Stewart. The movie is based on the novel of the same title by Larry Watson and follows a retired sheriff and his wife as they leave their Montana ranch to rescue their young grandson and discover that he is in the clutches of a dangerous family living off the grid in the Dakotas. Bezucha is also producing the project with Paula Mazur (Nim’s Island) and Mitchell Kaplan (The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society). Giacchino has previously scored Bezucha’s last two features, The Family Stone and Monte Carlo. Let Him Go is currently in post-production and will be released in theaters nationwide on August 21, 2020 by Focus Features. Giacchino also has Matt Reeves’ The Batman, the animated feature Extinct (co-scored with Mick Giacchino) and Brandon Trost’s An American Pickle, for which he provided the themes, coming up. https://filmmusicreporter.com/2019/12/28/michael-giacchino-to-score-thomas-bezuchas-let-him-go/ Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,265 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 So Gia is really taking a break from blockbusters this year, right? Because he'll have a hell of a 2021: Jurassic World 3: Jun 11 The Batman: Jun 25 MCU Spider-Man 3: Jul 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,275 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I really don't think he's suited to Batman but at least he'll do something melodic. Batman really needs to return to that gothic darkness that Elfman started, but somehow I don't think Gia can write in that darker tone. Although maybe if Fallen Kingdom is any indication, he could be quite good at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Maybe this Batman won't be grand and gothic, that wasn't always a part of the Batman aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,275 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Just read the film synopsis then saw the track list on Apple Music. He's seriously still doing these shit puns, even for dramatic thrillers? Does he think he's still 18 or something? Embarrassing. Anyway, just sounds like standard Gia drama writing. Weepy strings, a guitar instead of a piano for the solos. Orchestra sounds tiny, reminds me of Lost. MikeH and Edmilson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,042 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 I mean it's streaming for free like any other modern score so there's no cost involved in checking it out, just your time... but yea. For whatever reason Giacchino is great with big blockbusters and not so much with the small dramas. I'm sure it's perfect in the film, but as a standalone, not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,275 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I usually have scores playing in the background while working from home, maybe I'll give it a go tomorrow. As you say, it's free via Apple Music anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,265 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Gia just repeats the same Lost routine for every drama movie he does: sad strings, a piano, etc. Not a fan. Also, the puntastic track titles even for a movie as serious as this are embarassing indeed. MikeH and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was established a few years ago his editor is the pun maker and he just ran with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yeah, I think the music should speak for itself. If you don't like it, okay, but is it really surprising to anyone that Giacchino still uses puns, after all these years? TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, The Book of Henry was more engaging, but that may have been the nature of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I saw the film and nothing particularly stands out to warrant further listening - it's pure background music. In fact, I'd go so far to say that the film didn't need a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
