New Michael Giacchino Interview

For you Michael Giacchino fans, there’s a good, new interview with Michael that was posted just last week, even though it occured a few months ago during the summer apparently. It’s on Ain’t It Cool News:
aintitcool.com/node/43054

At first he discusses “Land of the Lost”, but then goes on to discuss Star Trek, Up, Pixar, Pete Doctor, Brad Bird and other topics.

Worth reading the whole thing, but here are three excerpts:

[i]MG: You know, Brad Bird said something to me early on in my working relationship with him, “Listen, it’s like a train and what you do to my movie can derail it really quickly if we aren’t in sync. We need to be in sync story-wise.” I never forgot that. It’s so true.

SK: Will you be working with Brad Bird again on 1906 (2012)?
MG: Yes! Brad’s working very hard on that script. Yeah, I’ll be working on that with him.[/i]

MG: A rat (Remy from RATATOUILLE) is as real a person as any live action film you’ll see. Superman isn’t real. So why is he treated more real than a rat that can cook? That I don’t get. That never made sense to me. Why does he get to compete for something like Best Picture and yet animation gets shoved into a category?


Also, for those interested, scoringsessions.com has Land of the Lost scoring pictures up now (as well as the Star Trek ones I posted about a few months ago). No Up pictures though.

Great interview! Thanks for the link, Miafka!

MG just has to get the Oscar for Up!

On his Wikipedia page it says that Michael will be scoring Newt, too. Let’s hope that’s true.

Hm, conch shells. That’s interesting. :sunglasses: btw, My WOT Firefox plugin for that the scoringsessions.com website gives me a warning that the site is dangerous but I’ve been there before and I don’t think it’s ever given me a virus. Kinda weird.
