New Interviews: David Shire (June, 2009), Karey Kirkpatrick (June, 2009), Bear McCreary (May, 2009)
With the remake of The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3, I felt it would be interesting to catch up with the composer of the original film, David Shire, to see what he has been up to of late. In this conversation, David discusses his current slate of creative projects, revisits the saga of Pelham with us, and tells us about the time he spent working with David FIncher on Zodiac.
Please take a few moments and tune in to this interview with the Academy Award and two-time Grammy winner...
Director Karey Kirkpatrick comes from a well-rounded creative background. Thus, it's no surprise that he just wrapped up directing his first live action feature, Imagine That, starring Eddie Murphy. In this discussion with ScoreNotes, Karey tells us what some of the key differences between directing live action and animated films are and also describes what he thinks audiences can hope to expect from this movie. In addition to his directorial duties, Karey also worked closely on creating music for the film's soundtrack and he goes into details about that facet of the production as well. In all, it's quite an insightful chat with a uniquely talented director, and it's a discussion that I am sure many of you will enjoy!
Special thanks to Caitlin Owens, Diana Rosen, and Katherine Rowe from ID-PR!
Bear McCreary is as innovative a composer that is working in television today. He recently stopped by ScoreNotes.com to share his retrospective thoughts about the music of Battlestar Galactica, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and more. He also discusses the "prequel" scoring strategy for the Galactica spinoff, Caprica, and also updates us on his concert schedule in this informative discussion.
