Cool. Anyone else think this will be an interesting score when compared to the light hearted moments of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and weird sounds and stuff.

Now of course it won't be like Mancini's and as a result osme will bitch, but I feel very strongly this will be a impressive score.

Thoughts?

Though with Steve MArtin, I think I may have figuered his logic in choosing this picture:

Better he, a talented comedian who was alive during and appreciated, the era the original was from and decided, "Better me, someone who can pull it off and show respect, then some untalented dick who will jsut fu(k it up."

This did NOT need to be made. The original movie was ABSOLUTELY FINE THE WAY IT WAS.

I'm almost positive that Beck will sooner or later get a greater movie to score, with full orchestra and recording facilities, I just can't wait for it.

And for better or worse, I don't think it's doomed to failure. People love Steve Martin so much right now they've made dreck like Cheaper By the Dozen and Bringing Down the House (one of the worst films in the entire history of the medium) into huge hits.

The way I see it, the only way this movie is doomed to failure is if it indeed is good. If it turns out dreadful (which it very well may) I'm sure it'll be a smash at the box office.

As for Beck scoring, I supposed that's good, though I still don't understand how working on Buffy got him typecast as a light comedy composer. I'm with Joan and the rest - he needs to get assigned to something more ambitious.
