I only wish that Quentin Tarantino was directing. Looks like something he could write and direct.

flattered

I don't know I how I feel about this....seems kind of Corny....Abe Lincoln killing vampires???? how is this going to be a good movie... and Trent's scoring in it....and doing the music...seems a little ridiculous

He's what?

Cool. I don't much blame him for wanting to do this. If I was in a position as high as his, I would be doing some movie too.

Thanks for you input on the actors, Scott! I really don't watch many movies or TV, so it's nice to get some opinions by someone who does (or at least familiar with the cast thus far).

I happen to live in Russia and I know about all the movies Bekmembetov shoots (and he does a lot) and I am telling you he is BAD. He is horrible! He is like Uwe Boll but not from Germany. Some of us could have been skeptical about social network when we firs heard the news, but Fincher never goes bellow a certain quality bar and Bekmambetov never goes above. And his bar is veeeeeery low.
So I am not a bit skeptical about this movie - I know it is going to be awful.

I'm not an expert in russian films (I've watched the original Solaris, but I don't remember many other russian films right now XD), but I remember watching a couple of his russian vampire movies a few years ago that were a huge success there and were called "the russian equivalent to the Matrix movies" or something like that and they were really really bad tbh. XD And Wanted was not much better, not as bad as the russian ones, but not very good either. XD

But well, the Hughes Brothers ruined the film adaptation of Alan Moore's From Hell, but The Book of Eli was ok and had an AMAZING soundtrack much better than the film itself, so maybe this russian guy could improve his future works too, I guess. BTW, one of the Hughes Brothers is supposed to film the remake of Akira, and if that remake was any good it could be much better with Trent and Ross scoring it, although everything I've read about this remake sounds like a total disaster, I hope they don't ruin it like they did with From Hell, I even read that they considered Brad Pitt for the role of Kaneda (a teenager played by a 47 years old guy, lol), and the script is supposed to be crap, but if it was correctly made and it had Trent's and Ross music it could be fantastic (a good script and a good director could obviously help a lot).

Another cool project for Trent and Ross could be what I've read will be one of the next projects by Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, who has talked about a sci-fi movie he wants to film that would be hugely inspired by Blade Runner, and that movie should be scored by Trent, Atticus and Clint Mansell (who scored Jones debut: Moon). After scoring that movie they could visit his dad and produce an album for his musical return (I know everybody is jizzing right now after reading this, a Bowie's album written and produced by the same Bowie, Reznor, Ross, Mansell and maybe even Moulder, and then a cool video for it filmed by his talented son... ejaculation party starts now after this single thought XD).

I read the book and loved it. It's a very fun read, and works well with the timeline and history.
I also loved Wanted - and think the choice of director here is spot on.
We all know that Reznor is more than capable of scoring a movie, and I for one would love to see him score something that has some dark moments. I don't know if some folks these days are having a hard time with the fact that Rez is going in different directions - but I am enjoying his evolution and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with this.

A Time.com article from a year ago about AL:VH.

Reading that, I was mostly thinking, "This book actually sounds pretty awesome.". But then I read their description of the vampires as "inhumanly strong and only mildly fazed by sunlight"

That's somewhat of a disappointment.

You were hoping for spontaneous combustion?

It's the kind of score a NIN rip off merchant would do, I imagine.

Looks like this is official now anyway!

if i was your vaaaampiiiiiiiiii- owait. wrong guy

it is an interesting book..as weird as it may sound

I really dislike his style, it's much too cheap and mostly not really innovative, mostly quite stupid boring stuff imo.
But maybe his worst movies were all those he has already done and maybe this one will be decent...

...I can't think of a single truly bad movie that Bekmambetov has done

Indeed. Trent said it could sound very different from a score he'd do for Fincher, so I'm hoping for some more Bullet Man-like stuff, that fucking rocked.

Maybe something like Quake too. That would be great.

I don't think that kind of music would fit in a vampire movie in the XIX century. It should be more classical, with orchestral stuff and pianos, etc, not noisy electronics, I guess. XD
