Ryan Gosling’s DRIVE Soundtrack with Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx, The Chromatics, Desire, + More!
Drive - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack in stores on September 13, 2011 in conjunction with the release of the film by FilmDistrict on September 16th. The soundtrack will be available digitally on September 6th.
The soundtrack features original music by Cliff Martinez (The Lincoln Lawyer, Traffic) with Eurosynth-styled songs by Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx (“Nightcall”), The Chromatics (“Tick of the Clock”), Desire (“Under Your Spell”), College featuring Electric Youth (“A Real Hero”), and Riziero Ortolani featuring Katyna Ranieri (“Oh My Love”).
“One thing that was unique for me about this project was having songs exert such a strong influence on the score,” said Martinez. “That helped to create a unified, one-size-fits-all, style of soundtrack…the 80s electronic pop style made a lot of sense to me. I knew that Nicolas [Refn, director] was in love with that sound and I saw a way to acknowledge it with vintage synth sounds and cover most of the dramatic food groups while referencing that style.”
This blending of score and song is the perfect vehicle for Cliff Martinez. Martinez moved to California in 1976, just in time for the punk movement. He had stints as drummer for the Weirdos, Lydia Lunch and Foetus frontman Jim Thirlwell, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Dickies. He was also the drummer in the final incarnation of legendary iconoclasts Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band.
Martinez’s entrée into music for film happened somewhat inadvertently, when a tape collage he had constructed led to an opportunity to score an episode of comedian Paul Reuben’s mid-‘80s TV hit, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. That collage was also heard by Steven Soderbergh, who tapped Martinez to provide the music for his first theatrical release sex, lies and videotape.

A foul-mouthed anti-hero who roams international hot spots with state-of-the art weapons and technology with the aim of destroying those who violate h

Psychopomp – Children of Men producer like this mad killer Leave a comment »Psychopomp is a script by Blake Leibel. It is also the name of the title character. Heat Vision describe the character as:
A foul-mouthed anti-hero who roams international hot spots with state-of-the art weapons and technology with the aim of destroying those who violate his code. The script has been described as having tones similar to “A Clockwork Orange” and “The Dark Knight.”
Hilary Shor, one of the producers behind “Children of Men,” has optioned the script.
Unsurprisingly, it will also be developed as a graphic novel.
“This is the evil twin of the ‘Children of Men” future world Alfonso created,” said Shor. “A lot of material I’m best known for developing is ‘weighty,’ for lack of a better word, but this really appealed to me. It’s the graphic novel world and something I’ve been interested in exploring.”
I do like comics, but the whole name and synopsis remind me of a bad Image comic from the Nineties. You know what I mean, big guns, silly costume with lots of pouches, insane action and wafer thin plot.
It is too early to judge though. That is just my initial reaction to the limited info. It could well end up being brilliant.
A quick search on the word Psychopomp gives this info:
Psychopomps (from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός (psychopompos), literally meaning the “guide of souls”) are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls to the afterlife. Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply provide safe passage.
In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms. It is symbolically personified in dreams as a wise man or woman, or sometimes as a helpful animal. In many cultures, the shaman also fulfills the role of the psychopomp.

UNDERWATER AND ICE WINTER SCRIPT EPIC HIGH CONCEPT
Jiang unveils $130 million 3D 'Deep'
China's most expensive pic moves toward post
BEIJING -- Producer Jon Jiang introduced his 3D underwater actioner "Empires of the Deep" to the Chinese media Tuesday and said the U.S.-China co-production will be China's most expensive movie ever with a budget of $130 million.
Real estate mogul Jiang is one of China's richest men and "Empires" marks his bow as a producer. He also wrote the script and has been involved in every step of the production, which he sees as the first genuine contender for an international-scale movie made in China.
"This is a Hollywood-style movie. The budget for this film is definitely $100 million but it's for sure that we will invest more. The final figure will be around $130 million, part of it from my own funds and part of it E-Magine Studio," Jiang said a news conference at the Huairou production base near Beijing.
The movie has been lensing around China for six months, and is helmed by Canadian Michael French. The pic has had a number of helmers involved, including Jonathan Lawrence and "Vidocq" director Pitof, and has one month left to go, before starting a year of post-production for a 2011 release, either in the summer or at Christmas.
"Avatar has opened a new era for film market. So I think we must keep up with this new trend. This film is a Hollywood film. There will be no pre-sales in other countries. We will share income of the film accordingly with local distributors in countries around the world," Jiang said.
The movie is seen as the first in a series and Jiang said the second instalment has been scripted and the third is in treatment.
Anthony Arendt, part of the team behind the 3D work on "Avatar," is consulting with the producers on stereography.
One of the film's stars, former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, attended the event dressed as a mermaid (she plays a mermaid queen in the movie). Pic also features Steve Polites from "The Murder Game."
Pic is using more than 10 stages at the Huairou studios, as well as shooting in Fujian province and Greece.
