Pino Donaggio, Italian composer of such Brian De Palma films as "Carrie," "Dressed to Kill" and "Body Double," as well as Joe Dante's "The Howling," is scoring the fifth Child's Play film, "Seed of Chucky." Really surprising, I bet nobody would've guessed this one.Here is the news from the website De Palma ala mod:
"Don Mancini, who has written all four of the previous films in the Child's Play series, is making his feature directorial debut with the upcoming fifth installment, Seed Of Chucky, which he also wrote. According to Fangoria magazine's January issue (the news of which you can read at Gorezone), Mancini has hired Pino Donaggio to compose the score for the film. "A lot of Seed is a takeoff on Brian De Palma's early movies," Mancini told Fangoria, "and I thought it would be a perfect touch to have his composer do the music for our film as well." Donaggio scored many of De Palma's classic thrillers, beginning with Carrie, and continuing with Dressed To Kill, Blow Out, Body Double, and Raising Cain. He also scored De Palma's comedy, Home Movies, and told an Italian newspaper in 2002 that he would be scoring De Palma's upcoming Toyer. Seed Of Chucky is released in October, and will also feature director John Waters as an "ill-fated papparazzo," according to Mancini."
I'm not a fan of the Chucky films, but I'm looking forward to what Donaggio does.

The only Donaggio score I own is the Howling, but it is a great horror/suspense score with some good melody in it as well. I hope this score will get a U.S. release though, I had to go through some special means to get the Howling.

This is wonderful news... Perhaps THIS will get Sean Adams to come out of Lurker mode and post something. Sean? Chucky? Pino?

Yay, fantastic news! I'm always up for hearing some new Donaggio, particularly if it's in a horror/thriller vein.I have to say, I wasn't too interested in the film before, but this news has piqued my curiousity. Something to keep an eye on for sure.
