On the BLOOD TRAIL of 30 Days of Night
June 28th 2007 00:23
The chilling tale is set in the extreme north, an isolated Alaskan town called Barrow, which is plunged into complete darkness each year for an entire month. When most of the inhabitants head south for the winter, a mysterious group of strangers appear: bloodthirsty vampires, ready to take advantage of the uninterrupted darkness to feed on the town’s residents. As the long night wears on, Barrow’s Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his estranged wife Stella (Aussie gal Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking group of survivors must do anything they can to last until daylight.
Not a face I'd like to see in the middle of a cold night
The Sheriff takes the high road
It’s just that I love vampirism. I love lycanthropy as well (there’s a neat sounding werewolf flick in production in New York City at the moment, more on that tomorrow), but that’s a different kind of hot animal blood. And 30 Days of Night is such a neat title too!
Man is the warmest place to hide
A vamp on set strikes a pose
Dad’s already sent me a special effects crew production t-shirt, but I’m hoping he’ll be able to throw me a few other exclusives closer to the release date. A poster would be cool; one can never have enough vampire posters. But I reckon I’ll have to do a Q & A with papa and extract some juicy bloody anecdotes! Ha-ha! I sound like an excited little boy!
Here’s the teaser trailer:

And then I'd like to touch the Greatness That Is Related to the Greatness in said film.

My wife recently had a photoshoot for a new police show and a victim of crime. She wasn't too happy looking like she was beaten up. Less happy about waiting alone in caravan with realistic body part props. A foot missing toes and a torso. I'm still laughing.
This does look like a nice thrill ride. Hope it give the jumps we all love.
There seems to be a spate of graphic novels going to film lately.

Put me down to score the sound track if you get the finances.
I'm just finishing of a sound track for another film.

I have been composing in electronic music for years and I belong to an organization of electronic musicians called Clan Analogue. Occasionally I play live gigs in Melbourne. I used to record a lot for non commercial radio (it an art thing attitude) However more recently I was given the chance to score and record and entire low budget film. Sri Lankan language film made in Australia for Sri Lanka so I have to write the music in a Sri Lankan style. It has been challenging and fun.

I too have been making music on and off for more than twenty years!! I made experiemental music with two friends for ten years (1984 - 1994) then became a prof. DJ and didn't produce anything original until only a few years when I started making music again with my younger brother www.myspace/jaywalkersfunk.com
(page needs work)
So what kind of movie soundtracks have really impressed you? Check out that recent popular post for my faves ...

Damn this is a small world after all.
(E-musically speaking)
I am listening to your music as I type this.
1984 seems to be the year when I was first sending stuff to radio. Still keep my first synth (Korg MS20) in mint condition.
I have some favorites in sound tracks:
Vangelis': Antartica and BladeRunner stand out.
Tangerine Dreams: Thief
Kitaro's: Silk Road
Maurice Jarre's: Lawrence of Arabia
Klaus Schultze's: Angst
The list goes on endlessly.
Good to see you can work with your brother on the same project. That is a bonus.

yeah, Vangelis' Blade Runner is sublime. I remember buying the New American Orchestra's version a few years after the movie came out (copyright problems prevented Vangelis's original music being released at the time).
Yes, the list can get endless ...
Did you like any of the four Jaywalkers' tracks?

Sorry for the delay in replying. Too many pots cooking in my life right now.
Yes I did listen to your music and enjoyed very much.
I picture Late night smokey bars playing this or a gangstar flick.
Definitely the last track(The Ride) is my favorite.
