Anybody know who's doing the score for the upcoming spoof SCARY MOVIE?

Vangelis, of course. Nah, I have no idea. Neither the IMDb nor the official site have the music credit up.NP: SCARY MOVIE (rejected score by Vangelis)

Well, according to the trailer, music credits go to David Kitay. According to IMDB, his credits include...
Night at the Roxbury
Can't Hardly Wait
Clueless
Surf Ninjas
Problem Child 2
Look Who's Talking Too
and many others.So it seems to be many comedies and teen or children type films.

Thanks Sebulba.I've heard a few scores by Kitay, and although he's not A, B or even C list, he's not too bad at all. He normally works with an orchestra, so I hope he spoofs Beltrami's music well.

not to be rude to Mt Kitay, but with that list of films, it'as not wonder I've never heard of him until this very instant. Those are ALL films I stayed away from like the plague. Surf Ninjas? oh well, I'm sure he does a good job for whatever it is the movies call for.NP -- East_west, Doyle.

Well I watched a 30 minute behind the scenes special. They played some of the scenes and from what I heard he does use the themes but plays around with it making it sound funny while sounding like Scream theme.

The score is pretty damn good!!!! I never entertained the thought of buying the Scream scores but I'd definitely buy this one.

...yeah............seeing as how Scary Movie is getting a score release, and all...........Personally, I feel as if it did it's job by properly paroding the genre, but other than that, it's nothing spectacular or remotely original.

(I haven't asked for a shrugging icon in a while) SCARY MOVIE is a decent score for the movie it's in, but it's nothing more than a SCREAM pastiche -- precisely what the movie asked for, although they might have spent LESS money just by tracking actual pieces from the SCREAM films (since Dimension Pictures released all the pictures in question.) True, there is that little bit that sends up (steals from?) Don Davis's THE MATRIX, but I wouldn't dream of buying this score for any sum.

I've gotta be honest. This was one of those movies in which I forgot that there was actually a score. I noticed the mock-up of Beltrami's style during the first of the film, but really it might as well have been temp-tracked. Heck, they do that with Beltrami's scores enough as it is!

I don't know if I'm being hypersensitive or not. I usually don't notice comedy scores either, unless they're really good, or really bad (anything by Miles Goodman made me want to leave the room -- I'm just sorry he had to die in order to spare us any more of his work -- also sorry in advance to the Goodman fans in the room). Perhaps it was the sheer copycat quality of Kitay's Beltrami imitation that made me notice it immediately. Beltrami himself, based on what little I've heard, is still basically imitating Christopher Young's horror scores -- just as Young, at the beginning, was imitating Herrmann and Goldsmith. Nature of the biz. And just like Young's earlier scores, Beltrami's early ones are showing some promise. Some day perhaps he'll do something really amazing and I'll be kicking myself that I didn't grab his SCREAM albums when I had the chance. Oh well. It'll be too late when it is.NP: THE SWARM ("Bee Suite," as heard on "The Rocco Files: The Case of Jerry Goldsmith's Missing Music")
