Is there not yet a thread for DRIVE, the forthcoming Ryan Gosling vehicle (geddit)?

:)

fwiw some of the standout tracks were by the Chromatics/Glass Candy guy who (as I'm sure we went over upthread) had most of a soundtrack written for this that was shelved for Cliff Martinez's score

Martinez has done some excellent scores, including a few Soderbergh films -- his score for that version of Solaris is pretty freaking awesome

This may or may not have something to do with that

the only Johnny Jewel song in this is the one that plays during the opening scene along w/ the Clippers broadcast.

also wtf @ you ppl: "special"?

have any of you ever watched a movie ever?

Nah, not that one. There were a few articles on a handful of music sites that referenced it.

Yeah, it was kind of weird for Pitchfork to hint in their Symmetry review that these songs were the ones meant for Drive, even though, from what I can tell, he's pretty much flat out said these aren't those scrapped songs.

In the Refn interview with Elvis Mitchell, he breaks down, in pretty specific detail, how the movie is a fairy tale, and the driver is a knight.

Refn says it here, too:

I read Grimm fairytales to my daughter a few years ago, and the idea with Drive was similar. You have the driver [Ryan Gosling] who's like a knight, the innocent maiden [Carey Mulligan], the evil king [Albert Brooks] and the dragon [Ron Perlman]. They're all archetypes.

It takes place in a city of millions but you never really see anyone. That isolates them, makes it very specific.

It took me about an hour to figure out what you ppl meant by "special." GTFO

gosling plays it kinda "fancy" throughout the whole movie

Reminds me of when a friend's wife took him to see the movie "Radio" in the theater. About five minutes in, he turned to her and angrily whispered, "You didn't tell me this was a movie about SPECIAL PEOPLE!"

Nah, not that one. There were a few articles on a handful of music sites that referenced it.

From this entry from the comments of that IDIB blog entry I linked to upthread it's clear that indeed a) there was a soundtrack that Jewel & Walker made and b) this was not the stuff that is now released under the Symmetry banner and c) Angelo Badalamenti was originally hired for the job?!

Italians Do It Better said...
HEY JESSICA, YOU SAID IT NOT US : )
BUT WE AGREE...IT'S PRETTY COMMON KNOWLEDGE NOW THAT THEY WERE REALLY INSPIRED BY THE IMAGERY OF "NIGHT DRIVE". WE HEARD THE STUFF JOHNNY & NAT DID FOR DRIVE.IT'S SICK...BUT IT'S MORE AMBIENT THAN SYMMETRY. CLIFF & JOHNNY WERE GIVEN THE SAME TEMP CUES. MOSTLY BRIAN ENO'S APOLLO & MUSIC FOR FILM, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ANGELO BADALEMENTI IN THERE WHO WAS APPARENTLY THE ORIGINAL COMPOSER HIRED FOR THE JOB. XO

Yeah, electronic badalamenti would have been all over this flick

So, wait, have their original tracks for the movie actually been released, or not really?

apparently not, but JJ has said they'll probably release it in some form

1) this interview (already linked a few times upthread) will answer every question you could possibly have about Johnny Jewel's involvement with this movie (without actually hearing anything he recorded): http://www.boxofficemagazine.com/articles/2011-09-johnny-jewel-on-developing-the-unique-soundtrack-for-drive

2) the screener i downloaded had Eno, Badalamenti's Mullholland Drive theme, as well as Trent Reznor's theme from The Social Network, if you wanna see it: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6700250/Drive_2011_SCR_XviD-playXD

3) Angelo Badalamenti was never a part of this project, his name was just used as a "place-holder" in the opening credits of that screener: http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/movies/drive-david-lynch-angelo-badalamenti/

Thank you x 3. First clicked to this thread yesterday, should have spend some more time reading through it before posting.

no, when it comes to 500+ post ILE movie threads, you really shouldn't waste time reading the whole thing

excellent detective work, all

Would Morbs approve?

John Ford would point out that there's "no story."

How did he see?

yep only 2-D for him

The Green Lantern. Enough said.

...about what?

She said "enough said"!

Three Musketeers?

this was mind-bendingly terrible

mind-mendingly wonderful, more like ;)

I preordered this on blu-ray, think it's shipped, I'm hyped. HYPED

I have thought about this movie a lot in the last month since I first saw it. To me that has to be a good thing.

Actually I have no idea how I'll feel on second viewing, but I really enjoyed Refn's other films I got around to watching

As of August 2011, Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn was attached to direct the remake of Logan's Run with actor Ryan Gosling attached to star.[17] Refn and Gosling had recently worked together on the 2011 thriller Drive.

did morbz watch 'bronson' yet

>Logan's Run with actor Ryan Gosling attached to star

See, this could be amazing or ghastly, don't think there's much chance of middle ground. <3 the original.

>preordered this on blu-ray

Yup, just awaiting delivery of mine; Apparently the blu has a phenomenal transfer, am looking fwd to cranking up College etc on the surround sound too.

Bronson was great, kind of a flawed film but a really great vision and showcase for Tom Hardy

I just about lost my shit when I was at the liquor store last week and "It's a Sin" by the Pet Shop Boys came on. Can never hear it again without remembering that scene from Bronson.

What is this Bronson? Should I see it?

It is a pseudo-biopic about a crazy violent British man who keeps getting imprisoned and/or committed starring Tom Hardy. And yeah, he takes the name Bronson after Charles Bronson.

So, yes.

yes you should see it, it is his best film imo.

Nice. Will do.

Should I see "Kill List"? Tyres is in this, right?

xp there's a lot more violence than drive if that's an issue, but it's kind of constant low level fighting and swearing rather than skulls and hammers 60 minutes into a moving tumblr
