Gone Girl (2014)

[Bloomy1992]

As I'm sure some of you are well aware, David Fincher's next movie is Gone Girl and its coming out in early October next year. Given the great relationship he's had with Trent, who thinks that Trent will score the film? I for one hope he finds the time but it might not be possible with the amount of touring he's planning on doing.

[onthewall2983]

If I had to guess, I'd say TR isn't going to be involved. He's definitely touring next year, who knows how long. Plus this is the kind of project that I'm guessing he'd pass on as the plot sounds more standard Hollywood fare that would probably require a more conventional composer to do anyway. Jeff Beal (from House Of Cards) would be a good choice.

I really liked Jeff Beal's score for HOC but i wouldn't be surprised if Fincher used Atticus Ross, given that he's the other half of the award winning duo. He might even go back to Howard Shore who did the music for Se7en, The Game, and Panic Room. Either way i really hope TR finds the time in his schedule for this.

[That other guy]

Tr does have some open timeframes from now till what Oct?? when movie comes out..Hopefully will work on it , will see movie anyways.

[RJK]

Trent just confirmed that he and Atticus will be scoring this film.

[Santos L Halper]

Trent just confirmed that he and Atticus will be scoring this film.

Very exciting stuff. I did not see this coming at all. Now that it is confirmed it gives us plenty of time to save up for the super deluxe vinyl edition :D

[gorast]

Holy shit. Time to get excited about film scores again.

And save up for the eighteen different formats it'll be offered on...

[sheepdean]

Fucking A!
Hope I can afford the vinyl this time...

[pwing47]

YES. I'm going to lose my mind if he ends up putting out a Bluray/5.1 version, similar to the TSN. (Hardest item to find ever, btw.)

[ninlive]

I am very very excited for this!! Honestly, having Trent and Atticus scoring movies has made me appreciate the soundtrack/score to a movie even more. When I go to a film now, I pay more attention to the music and how it effects the emotion on screen.

With just reading the premise of the movie, I hope this means there is some Swarmatron action in this one!!!

[simonn]

So happy there's going to be another soundtrack. Loved the first two, and frankly, anything new from T & A is bound to be all kinds of great.

[icklekitty]

anything new from T & A is bound to be all kinds of great.

You can never have enough T&A.



I though this film had already come out for some reason?

[simonn]

Glad someone picked up on my juvenile train of thought!

mixed it up with 47 Ronin?

YES. I'm going to lose my mind if he ends up putting out a Bluray/5.1 version, similar to the TSN. (Hardest item to find ever, btw.)


It was only hard to find if you didn't purchase it from the nullco website at the beginning. It took me forever to track down the 2 that I have. One sealed, the other open.


As far as Gone Girl, I don't see this getting the same "release" treatment that TSN & TGWTDT scores had...I may be wrong and I hope I am but for some reason I see this getting a standard CD release.

[gorast]

Why don't you think it'll get the same treatment as the previous scores? The book was very well-received, so there's going to be a good audience for the film. I hadn't really heard anything about it before this announcement, though.

I'm expecting a TSN-style treatment for it, especially after the GDT deluxe box fiasco. CD, standard vinyl, maybe some other weird format like TSN. But definitely a sampler to build hype. And besides, we're still nine months out from the film's release - we're not going to hear more about this for a while.

[pwing47]

Sadly, because I'm a fool, that's the category I fall into :(

Keeping my eyes open now, though. Can't even locate a good rip online (that being a last resort, of course :)), unless I'm not digging deep enough. Ah well, I will hopefully hear it one day.

[theimage13]

Good. We're almost a month into 2014 and there hasn't been a single album I already knew I would buy on release day.

You wont find a "good rip" of the BD audio. You need the actual BD to really experience it. I would ask around int he NIN Marketplace here to see who is selling one.

[Deepvoid]

I'm not familiar at all with the book nor the movie adaptation.
Should we expect a soundtrack similar to TGWADT or does this story has a different atmosphere/vibe?

[fillow]

I've only read novel synopsis at Wikipedia and I think we can expect something more similar to Dragon Tattoo score than to Social Network. It's about a guy who can't find his wife and investigates whether he himself killed her.

[snaapz]

This is great news, personally I really enjoy listening to TSN/Dragon OSTs. Especially while I work (reporting & analytics; boring) I swear that my productivity improves when I listen to the Dragon OST.

[butter_hole]

I'm not familiar at all with the book nor the movie adaptation.
Should we expect a soundtrack similar to TGWADT or does this story has a different atmosphere/vibe?

Well it's a story about love, deception, greed, lust and...unbridled enthusiasm.
You see Deepvoid, Billy was a simple country boy. You might say a cockeyed optimist, who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.

Hitchcockian, or at least that is the approach I hope Fincher takes. It is difficult to talk about the story without spoiling it, but I expect it will be lighter than the previous two movies. Some potential scenes of humor that could be played more broadly than is written in the book. The composer most associated with Hitchcock is Bernard Herrmann, whose score for Taxi Driver has been mentioned by TR as a favorite.

[Prettybrokenspiral]

Stoked for this! Hopefully in 2014 we get Gone Girl sndtrk, The Fragile deluxe and Interscope's Greatest Hits package..

[ManBurning]

Stoked for this! Hopefully in 2014 we get Gone Girl sndtrk, The Fragile deluxe and Interscope's Greatest Hits package..

I was almost ready to place money down that the Fragile deluxe re-issue would have dropped this September to go with the 15th anniversary of the album, but based on his recent comments on the new interview posted today in the NIN spotting section (i'll link it down below), I have doubts that this album will not come out now in time for September. He said the mixing and packaging is done, but the other day he found 40 unreleased demos from that era that he might want to include with the package. If that's the case, this release is NOT coming out this fall, he's way too busy. He has to still tour Europe and finish Gone Girl by the fall, which I barely see happening. And if the rumors are true with another supposive US tour this summer, there goes ANY time he had for Gone Girl, let alone The Fragile. I honestly have no idea how this man does it...


New interview from 3news is up.

I hope we get a Dragon Tattoo style soundtrack ( lots of tunes)

[Deepvoid]

Trailer is allegedly being released shortly.
According to some people who had the chance to review the trailer, we won't be hearing any new song from TR/AR.
Charles Aznavour "She" is allegedly used.

[Vertigo]

There wasn't any Trentticus in Social Network's advance trailer either, if I remember rightly (can't remember about Dragon Tattoo, but I think not there also). We're six months out from the film's release, I'd be surprised if they had any music ready for public consumption at this stage.

SN had Scala's cover of "Creep" which was awesome.
Dragon Tattoo did have Immigrant Song.

Which, whilst on the score album, isn't a score piece by TRAR

[simonn]

Technically not, but as they performed and produced it, it 'counts'. For me.

[thevoid99]

It doesn't feature any music by them but this does look intriguing as it does have an excellent cover of "She" by Charles Aznavour that is famously covered by Elvis Costello.

The music on the films website definitely has that Reznor/Ross feel to it. I love it.

Made an ironic comment about the music on the video being mellow for TR&AR standards. Some guy "corrects" me saying it's someone else performing the song. Fuck the internet.

unghhhh it's so gorgeous

i hope there's a deluxe edition package that's as beautiful as this piece of music

you know, it actually sounds a lot like some of COIL's more ambient work

[gorast]

I don't know if they'll do another deluxe package after Dragon Tattoo. That didn't go over too well.

I really like the feel of this new track, though. Did it have a name attached to it, or just something generic?

[sheepdean]

So long as I can afford the vinyl without selling a kidney~

It was easy to download bg_audio_loop_128.mp3 :)

Let's just say it's definitely on the terrible end of the spectrum.

[slave2thewage]

I don't know why, but that piece reminds me of "Tomhet" by Burzum. Slightly similar melodies at places, probably.

[BRoswell]

Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction for this new snippet of music? I've tried getting it through my usual methods, but they don't seem to work on the site.

EDIT: Got it.

[witte]

Why? Does it suck?

I thought it was ok, nothing extraordinary, but I've read elsewhere that people have found it a non-ending, or kind of flat. It's not the worst ending...hard to explain it without ruining it for you. But it's a really good sign that the book author is involved in this rewriting, as opposed to World War Z.

[slave2thewage]

Yeah, I need help of getting it as well. Thanks.

[Deepvoid]

Love what I'm hearing so far. Dig the mysterious/atmospheric/intriguing vibe.
Can't wait to hear more.

[TheBang]

Yeah, I need help of getting it as well. Thanks.
For me, it was as easy as, right-click, "Save Video As..."

[implanted_microchip]

Totally agree with the Coil comparison. Really looking forward to this; sounds really separate from TSN or TGWTDT. So does this basically mean TR&AR are the go-to Fincher scoring team from here on out?

[BRoswell]

I imagine he'll come back to them at some point in the future, even if it's not the next film. He worked with Howard Shore on Se7en and The Game before working with The Dust Brothers on Fight Club, then he brought Shore back for Panic Room. It's clear that Fincher likes working with Trent and Atticus. He's talked about working with them more than any other composers he's worked with before.

[FernandoDante]

Let's just say it's definitely on the terrible end of the spectrum.
I've heard nothing but good things about the book elsewhere on the internet, so I'll take this with a grain of salt.

Oops. Talked out of my ass again. (Nothing new there.)

Regardless, it took years to sell out.

hey i thought i already posted this, but i just thought really hard about posting it, i guess :p

so do you guys think this is the new project trent said he was working on that will come out in the fall?

i hope not. i was hoping he'd go on a YZ/Ghosts?TS kind of NIN album spree.

Holy crap i haven't thought about Salad Fingers in years. Hey @Ryan (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=67) do you want touch this rusty kettle?

Yes please, Hubert Cumberdale.

Speaking of, there are two new episodes (well, newish).

The latest one is probably the most disturbing one so far...

[eversonpoe]

Reminds me of Salad Fingers episodes' background music.

"beware the friendly stranger" is used a lot in salad fingers, but the darker, more ambient stuff is awesome, too, and i agree that this evokes a similar mood.

side note: one time i went up on the roof of my parents' house with an extension cord, and amp, some effects pedals, and a four-track and recorded a bunch of crazy/pretty noise which i called the "salad fingers suite."

[elevenism]

So considering how much unopened vinyl goes for nowadays for TSN and TGWTDT, i'm starting to think that vinyl for this new thing might be a good investment! buy a few, don't open them, then sell to rabid collectors and make a profit.
Also, trent said in an interview that he was working on a new project that would be released in the fall. Is this the project?
this is my second time asking...does no one care about good old eleveno anymore? He would really like to know the motherfucking answer!
Does anyone think it might be a new NIN album? Or perhaps How We Destroy Angles?

[fillow]

^^
Most of the time, when people assume anything about new unspecified TR projects, they're way off. I don't think it's new NIN or HTDA album.

[wizfan]

I cannot for the life of me downoad the mp3 from the site. I'm right-clicking but all I get is the video. What am I doing wrong?

I believe the song you're refereeing to is "Rhubarb" by Aphex Twin.

I called the phone number, there's a little bit of new music, Plus a male speaker talking about his wife. more details as I listen

I was told the male speaking was nick's perspective, possibly the beginning of the book, word for word

[spahn]

@xfocalinc, it is the beginning of the book. I would have thought that they would have had Ben affleck narrate that instead of some generic voice actor.

[elevenism]

1. no one has answered your question because no one knows. it's probably this that he was referring to, but none of us are sure.

2. if you're going to buy vinyl just to flip it for a profit, you're a dick. and you've never come off as a dick before, so i really hope you were joking about that.

3. if you're going to buy vinyl for any reason, leaving it sealed (in shrink wrap) is a bad idea. you have to at least slit the side open, but the best thing to do is remove the shrink wrap and put it in a protective plastic cover (i recommend putting the plastic cover opening on the spine end of the record). if the sleeve is a tight fit around the discs, take them out and put them outside the sleeve, inside the plastic cover (this will avoid ring-wear and physical compression of the discs).

i can't believe the two of you, @sheapdean and eversonpoe, could possibly think i was serious...i wouldn't talk about flipping shit to rabid collectors in a forum of rabid collectors. surely you two fuckers know by now that i'm not a dick, oh ye of little faith!

Thanks for the tip on the vinyl. When i was 14, my girl's dad killed himself and willed his records to me. and this motherfucker bought two of everything...one to keep and one to play. i'm talking every zeppelin, every pink floyd, even some beatles and hendrix.
and i, of course, being 14-15 years old, fucked it off post-haste.

I just LOVE records, and i'm thinking of starting to collect again. I love the idea of digging through crates and finding undiscovered gems, and i LOVE the way records sound. but i would play the motherfuckers, and i doubt i can afford two copies.

As far as what TR's project is, i didn't expect anyone to know, but then i didn't expect @mofoboy25 to pop up with all those soundboard recordings either...sometimes people here know and have things that shock the shit out of me.

[elevenism]

sorry for the double post, but how are the soundtracks when listened to as albums? i have yet to do it.

[BRoswell]

sorry for the double post, but how are the soundtracks when listened to as albums? i have yet to do it.

The Social Network is a pretty easy listen in my opinion. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a harder listen just because of the length and the mood of the whole thing, but it's very rewarding once you finish it. I tend to listen to The Social Network more, but I think The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is better overall.

[elevenism]

i think i'm gonna check 'em out.

[gorast]

Speaking from the position of listening to them as albums, I feel like Dragon Tattoo isn't nearly as rewarding. It works much better as shuffled background music for me.

[Reznor2112]

The track on Findamazingamy.com (when listened to just as a piece of music and not a score piece) is a love letter to Brian Eno.

[WorzelG]

Speaking from the position of listening to them as albums, I feel like Dragon Tattoo isn't nearly as rewarding. It works much better as shuffled background music for me.
I agree with this, I find the social network soundtrack has three acts and really tells a story and has better flow as a stand-alone piece

[Reznor2112]

I agree with this, I find the social network soundtrack has three acts and really tells a story and has better flow as a stand-alone piece

Absolutely. I listen to the TSN soundtrack religiously and to me when I see the film, the score almost sounds like a completely different album than when I listen it to it by itself. Does that make sense.

As far as Gone Girl, I'm assuming the album will be released in late September (going by the TSN & GWTDT score to film release dates).

Does anyone remember how soon those 2 album pre-orders went up before their subsequent releases?

[gorast]

GDT was up in November, I believe, ahead of a late December release. May have been October.

[ophelia_]

TGWTDT soundtrack is great background music for reading.

That sounds like a bad thing, but I definitely mean it in a complimentary way.

Just finished reading the book and holy cum, Trenticus are the perfect choice to score this. Cannot wait to see the movie!

Holy cum. That's a newie.

I read The Silent Land (http://www.sfx.co.uk/2010/11/13/book-review-the-silent-land-graham-joyce/) whilst listening to TGWTDT and it worked really well, but the side effect is I can't stop thinking about the book now if I put the music on.

Lol, yep! That'll happen...

When I read TGWTDT I was listening to the first 2 Crosses EPs, and now I just instantly think of that book series and the eerie vibe of them whenever I listen to Crosses.

I'm late to the party here, but generally speaking, I agree with what most others have said.

TSN is a great album on it's own; wonderful for listening to when you're out driving or going for a walk, working, reading, or listening to it just for the sake of listening to it.

Dragon, on the other hand, is definitely more of a background album for me. There are some standout tracks that I'll listen to on their own because I like them so much, but as a whole, this album gets most of its use in the form of "load out is done, I'm climbing into my bunk and putting my headphones in". I'm usually asleep within a few songs, but worst case scenario, I've got hours of music.

The next time you visit someplace special, take a bus or a train somewhere for a few hours and put it on. It will soundtrack your memory of the place for years to come.

I did this a few years ago when I traveled through Iceland, and it was incredible.

Funny - that's actually how TSN works for me. When I got it, I was listening to it heavily during the first two weekends, which were spent driving between west Texas and New Mexico. It'll always remind me of driving through the streets of ABQ at night with the moon lighting up the mountains in the background, and driving through the mountains and White Sands Missile Range at dawn.

Listening to the first part of Dragon just reminds me of being on a tour bus, which to me, is a special place. When I've been out of work for too long (or on a tour where we fly everywhere), it still serves as the soundtrack to my memory of busing around.

I'm reading Gone Girl right now, and he is right about the book being "nasty." It also sounds like the film is going to be even darker than its source material. Definitely gonna see this one on Opening Night.

Someone who's recording one of the shows needs to record the pre-show/between act music, too. @RITCNIN (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=1141) ... know anybody that you can give a heads-up to?

Actually at the Copenhagen gig I recorded a part of what I believe is a new song but I might be wrong and I yet have to check it on shazam. I'm still in Berlin and I'm going back to Switzerland in a few hours. I might upload it tonight

The track somewhat reminds me of "She Reminds Me Of You". I tried to shazam it and I got no results, although there are people talking over it so I don't know.

i was just talking to my friend about the Solaris soundtrack tonight because it's one of my favorite scores of all time.

[elevenism]

I read the book and it was SOOOOOOOO fucking good. Creepy, menacing, sinister. And it hits a little close to home...i think that's kind of the point. They reel you in with this fucked up relationship, but want you to think "Oh, shit...my relationship is kinda like that.

I'm REALLY wondering how Fincher is going to pull this off in movie form, because it has such a peculiar, unconventional literary structure.
But i trust him. Can't wait to hear the music!

[gorast]

I wonder if Trent will try out the deluxe package deal again for this one. Though, considering Hesitation Marks didn't get anything more than the 2CD thing, I'm not so sure this will get anything more than CD and vinyl. Especially with The Fragile (perpetually) on the horizon.

I really just want a cool deluxe package from the first day it's released, instead of buying it two years after the fact.

I hope the vinyl will be in something other than the $300 package though, still annoyed that I will probably never own the TGWTDT vinyl because that's too much money for me.

[Reznor2112]

I am just going to be on the look out for the damn "For Your Consideration" copy to complete my collection… if hit is even considered

[elevenism]

I can't believe what you're saying, butter_hole .

I thought Gone Girl was great, beginning to end.

And i would assume that Flynn rewriting the ending doesn't have anything to do with it being "terrible."

It's probably to match the director's vision, or to make it more palatable and stronger in the film version.

I'll admit, the ending wasn't perfect, but it damn sure wasn't "terrible."

From the movie's Twitter:

Gone Girl‏@GoneGirlMovie21 mins (http://www.echoingthesound.org/GoneGirlMovie/status/474634636606197762)The community rallies to support friends & family of missing Amy Dunne. #GoneGirl (http://www.echoingthesound.org/hashtag/GoneGirl?src=hash) 855-4-AMY-TIPS

It's a recording of a monologue by the narrator but in the background you can hear what could be some of the soundtrack music.

[Reznor2112]

I have a bad feeling that this soundtrack is going to get a lackluster shitty release without any thought or time put into the packaging or presentation. Just from how far behind the whole camp is with the Tension DVD and the fact that NIN is about to go back on tour up until the release of the movie and Rob, Im sure, will be on tour taking band photos for NIN.com rather than working on this OR the Tension dvd.

I've got to be honest, I'm not too bothered about the packaging for this, I just want to hear the music and I'll probably go and see the film too. Perhaps they'll do a scavenger hunt type thing while on the Soundgarden tour? (like that mouthtapedshut for girl with the dragon tattoo)

I really don't see an importance to the packaging, considering the "nice" packaging cost $300 last time, it's not something that is going to affect me, I just want good music

have you guys read the book? i really dug it.

[butter_hole]

read more books!

[elevenism]

read more books!
there is never a point that i am not reading a book.
perhaps i'm reading the wrong books.
turn me on, who writes exquisitely these days?
i'm not so much talking about story or plot...when i say it's the best writing i've read in years, i'm talking sheer beauty of prose, page by page.

[elevenism]

for instance, this quote from gone girl: “I felt a queasy mixture of relief and horror: when you finally stop an itch and realize it’s because you’ve ripped a hole in your skin.”

her writing is so sharp. i remember another near the end where amy talks about growing into every part of nick like a vine, something along those lines. there are several other such passages. It's been a while since i read a book where lines really stuck out in my mind.
The last one i've read that had prose as striking as the prose in gone girl was The Loop, by Nicholas Evans.

Unfortunately, in the small town in which i am stuck, the closest bookstore is a wal-mart, so i just buy what seems like it might look good.

I am a Steven King fanatic, and an obsessive and prodigious reader. So anything you guys could recommend to keep me reading between king releases would make me happy.

Edit: I started a thread over in literature; it's called Favorite Books and Authors. So, butter_hole , sheepdean , please weigh in!
My mind is bored. I'm reading something that i don't really like right now...i need good recommendations!

Back on topic, i gave TGWTDT a spin for the first time, and i fucking LOVED it! Now i'm really looking forward to the soundtrack to Gone Girl.

New trailer dropping 7/7, hopefully that means new music too

[sheepdean]

The website just updated, and whilst the audio is the same, the filename changed: it's now "Echoes-2-42-160.mp3", so I take it the track is probably
called Echoes.

edit: my bad, there's a different outro, with feedback. Dumped it onto Atticus blog if you can't run the flash-heavy gone girl site http://fuckyeahatticusross.tumblr.com/post/90895102502/new-website-audio-for-gone-girl-composed-by-trent

[butter_hole]

Hope to hear some soundtrack news with the trailer release tomorrow!

[ninlive]

I just recently read the book and I am very excited to see the movie now. Whatever Fincher uses for filters in his movies (dark) it's amazing. I can only imagine how dark they make this film between Fincher/Reznor+Ross.

Let me pre-empt and caveat or what-have-you this entire post by saying: feel free to tell me to go fuck myself. What someone else reads is not my business and affects me in no way whatsoever and you are obviously more than welcome to keep doing what you want; my post was a total kneejerk reaction.

If your only source of books is a Walmart, then that explains it, doesn't it? Gone Girl is an airport book. It's something lightly thrilling that you don't have to think about too hard. Something to keep the pages turning while you circle La Guardia. Gillian Flynn used to write for Entertainment Weekly and it completely shows. It's the exact perfect thing for a David Fincher movie (just like GWTDT); lot's of shouting and moody sets and Nick and Amy looking pensively out of windows in nice lighting. I didn't like it because the characters were unbelievably self-entitled, Amy's psychosis didn't make sense and everyone acted like they knew they were on a film set. But I did read the last 200 pages in one sitting. And then threw the book at a wall. It's junk food for your mind, basically.

But our tastes are different. You might hate anything I suggest, like The Goldfinch (orThe Secret History) by Donna Tartt (Junk food for your mind, but high-brow junk food. like a crème brulee at a French restaurant) or Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, White Teeth by Zadie Smith, or these collections of stories (http://sesquipedalism.com/shop/) by a member of this very forum (@Sesquipedalism [how do you tag a forum member?!?!]).

Bottom line: do what you want, but basically I hated the book and replied to your comment in an asshole-ish way and now I'm paying the price of getting called out for it.

ahh, shit...i certainly wasn't trying to be a dick or "call you out."
i personally loved gone girl. I LIKED the character's nastiness. As far as amy's psychosis not making sense, i agree with you. it wasn't perfect.
basically it had an amazing twist, and some of the writing WAS exquisite. And yes, the ending was kind of off.

I love to read, CONSTANTLY, and am happy to take ANY suggestions. As a matter of fact, i have a good buddy who has been trying to turn me on to David Foster Wallace lately.

I don't know how you feel about the lush religious symbolism of Steinbeck in books like east of eden, or the heady insanity of William S. Burroughs, but i enjoy those things as well. It's not as if i haven't been exposed to good literature.
And yes, i currently get my books from the walmart. it fucking sucks. i used to live a few blocks from the biggest used book store in the fucking country in dallas. So i buy 12 or 13 best sellers (actually my MOMMY buys them for me, lol, that is part of the problem here,) and read a lot of ultra-forgettable thrillers. i HAVE to read.

I DO love stephen king...i adore his "voice."
And i know many people look down on him, but he, too, uses some fine literary techniques, like, say, weaving Daphne Du Maurier's incomparable Rebecca into the pages of Bag of Bones.

As far as Gone Girl, like i said, some of the WRITING was exquisite, especially compared to the drudgery i've been reading. That's ultimately why i liked the novel...Flynn's writing talent, sentence by sentence, shined at times.

You didn't respond in an asshole-ish way, you responded in a @butter_hole (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=179) ish way. i thought it was clever.

But it isn't that i need to read MORE books, it's that i need to read BETTER books!

And you are on the right track for tagging people, you just have to remember it's case sensitive... @Sesquipedalism (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=287) perhaps?

i ain't mad atcha! i'm just here to spread love and happiness and shit :p

[butter_hole]

Ah there we go. Sesquipedalism get in here and sell elevenism a copy of your book!

And I'm with you 100% on the King love. But we've derailed this thread enough...

NEW Gone Girl Trailer New music towards the end?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym3LB0lOJ0o

[dvdglss]

the music just made this movie more interesting.

the first trailer with the stock music didn't make it seem as intense. thanks T and A!

[Deepvoid]

I can't freaking wait for this soundtrack. Trailer looks and sounds great.

[gorast]

The tone of that track is really nice - it feels more like Ghosts than the other soundtracks.

[Q-NeilL]

New music started from 0:18.
I like new music and guitar sound with piano. I hope there more music from official film-site.

[Bloomy1992]

I hope the music in the trailer is used in the actual film. In GWTDT most of the trailer music was used specifically to score the trailer.

[WorzelG]

This music sounds almost Downward Spiralish with the kind of buzzing underneath

[sheepdean]

So, given that the website music seems to be the trailer (and so possibly movie) theme, I wonder if the original site audio vs the current one is like Hand Covers Bruise, with the no piano version that was only on the site.

Also, gorgeous music, still not super excited for the cast though.

[elevenism]

that piano run, it's a scale/relationship of notes that shows up SO often in trent's music.
if i had paid more attention in music theory i could tell you what it is.

Whatsamatter, sheepdean. Do you not appreciate Aflac? AFLAC! ;)

All joking aside, he finally won me over with "The Town." Believe it or not, he CAN act! (little known fact)
He just doesn't do it in a whole lot of his movies. I think Afflack will be good in this one.

The woman playing amy...i'm not familiar with her, so idk what to expect.

[sheepdean]

Dude, Tyler Perry too...

[Lastentrance]

Good trailer. Music stood out more than anything, that's from a non biased standpoint. I love Fincher but the trailer makes the film look a bit like flavour of the month in comparison to the teaser. The music makes it something deeper. Cannot wait for more!

[henryeatscereal]

Now it's a must see for me...

Okay I'm ridiculously excited for what Trent and Atticus will do with an orchestra. And I'm relieved that Gone Girl is out in the cinemas in the UK on Oct 3rd as well, I'm sure we had to wait a few weeks for The Social Network after the US release

Hoping for both slower and quicker orchestral stuff myself, but whatever comes out, I'm sure it'll be excellent. The orchestral element has definitely upped my excitement levels for this!

[snaapz]

I'm very excited for this. I still listen to TSN and TGWTDT soundtrack quite often while I work and plug away at my desk.

I find OST 'music' to be more descriptive than conventional 'music'. I find more emotions and complexity in the 'music'.

I guess that's why there are so many fans of instrumentals from Nine Inch Nails.

Side note: Some classical/orchestral/symphony music has more chaotic and intense riffs than Cannibal Corpse or Meshuggah. Beethoven was a modern day punk ass rocker!

my friend and i were eating at kuma's corner (a chicago burger place known for always playing metal and having burgers named after metal bands) recently and discussing the fact that (good, technical) metal is basically classical music played on rock instruments, with vocals.

Wholly agree. Cliff Burton's biggest inspiration was Bach after all....(2 legends)

Actually, it's not a direct relationship. Metal is based originally off of blues. You only need to listen to some Sabbath to hear all the elements of blues.

Which is why I don't understand why Metallica 'load' was so hated. Load is a heavy blues album, Metallica exploring their roots.

But modern metal is taking on more influences, with multiple time signatures, dissonance etc, it's gone very 'classical'

[sheepdean]

I'd argue all modern rock, metal and pop is based in blues and jazz.

On topic, this is about the time of year we get our album sampler isn't it?

sabbath has always seemed more "hard rock" to me, and not so much metal (but i do love them). hard rock was obviously a gateway to metal, but i'm also talking about more modern stuff, not the classics.

[Vertigo]

Zeppelin's the best example of the transition between blues and metal, in my opinion.

[sheepdean]

"transition" is a funny way to say "literally stole blues standards" :P

[Conan The Barbarian]

Gonna have to disagree. I believe zep is the party band while sabbath brought darkness and heaviness.

[Charmingly Miserable]

That whole orchestra pic kinda threw me into a loop. I always imagined (and assumed) that Trent and Atticus did all the work including playing all the instruments for both previous soundtracks. Now the orchestra. It will be interesting to hear what comes out of the addition of the orchestra.

Atticus used a full orchestra on Book of Eli, so if you've not picked up that OST yet, it'll give you some strong ideas of what they can do with 'em (spoiler: it's awesome).

[simonn]

On topic, this is about the time of year we get our album sampler isn't it?

Nope, apparently for TSN, there was just an eleven day gap between the sampler and the official release...seemed longer, though a bit hazy now!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network_(soundtrack)

[sheepdean]

Damn, must be losing my mind.

At least we probably won't have to pay $300 for vinyl this time because it didn't go too well before. And maybe Sony will think to press more than they did for TSN considering the price that that goes for.

[gorast]

The gap between the sampler and the final release was even smaller for GDT - a week.

Still got a few months to go.

[Reznor2112]

Yeah, still not understanding the price inflation for the TSN vinyl. They quit pressing it because it was a bad pressing. Ive seen nothing but shitty reviews for the that release as far as sound quality….not sure what happened there.

[sheepdean]

The price inflation is because it's Oscar winning more than crazy nin fans I think. And I know it's imperfect but I really wish I had it, maybe if there's a second pressing I'll be able to get it

[cahernandez]

Hey Reznor2112, did not know about those Mondo repressings, went to check the website and saw the Gravity vinyl, wanted to buy it but it was sold out, and I'm not willing to pay $85 for that on Ebay. Thanks for sharing.

I went to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes yesterday, it had the Gone Girl trailer preceding it. I have to say that my crap computer speakers did not do justice (at all) to the magnificent piece of music TR/AR have created. Honestly I watched the trailer in my computer and was not to impressed by it, but now watching it on the big screen, I can say with all confidence that this soundtrack is going to kick some huge butt. The music was perfect to create tension...Hopefully Fincher pushes the music to the forefront, like he did on TSN and not like TGWTDT.

I had to re-read that last part of the book about 3 times because I wasn't sure if I missed something or whether I was missing pages, or maybe I just don't fully understand the way it ended. The ending as a whole was pretty good, but that last section just didn't do it for me. I've got my girlfriend reading it at the moment, she's just about finished as well, I'm very interested in hearing her thoughts on how it ended.

That being said, the fact that the entire third act has pretty much been re-written for the film has me VERY excited.

Hey nothing8 , are you a Dexter fan? Because i thought that the twin sister in Gone Girl was either consciously or accidentally based on Dexter's sister Deb.

Not a Dexter fan...yet. I've had plenty of people recommend I jump on it ASAP though and I've been meaning to start watching another series.

oh shit...get on it.
it's in my top 3 of all time

[jmtd]

Finished the book earlier in the week; pretty good. Didn't like the ending but I think I understand what the author was getting at. Looking forward to see how the movie differs.

[elevenism]

i fucking LOVED the book, loved her writing style and the twist...but yeah, i'll admit, the ending was lacking.

what it felt like to me was an omniscient narrator getting further and further away from the characters somehow, you feel me? the narrative distance changed. before we had REALLY in depth description of the characters' thoughts and feelings and whatnot.
also the way the time speeds up in the end is fairly disconcerting.

but like you said jmtd , i can't wait to see how the movie differs myself.

[BBomkamp]

I guess Fincher has tweaked the ending. I thought the same about the ending, it wasn't amazing <----- see what I did there? But I don't know how else I would have liked it to end. I also don't see the middle of the book happening til a lot later in the movie. Either way I can't wait. More importantly I can't wait to get a Trent Reznor score on Vinyl. Seeing as I was broke for the first two and can't afford either still (GWTDT = $300 = ...fuck... AND TSN being like $60 around the net) But Il be ready for this release.

[jmtd]

Flynn herself tweaked the ending: she wrote the screenplay.

[nothing8]

I've got my girlfriend reading it at the moment, she's just about finished as well, I'm very interested in hearing her thoughts on how it ended.

She finished reading the book last night, same thoughts from her as well, the ending was a bit of a let down.

[elevenism]

nothing8 , i couldn't get my girl to read it. i even bought two copies.
you know what, i think i'm gonna get an audio version...we've been listening to a lot together through our Plex channel.

and yes, isn't it cool that Flynn wrote the screenplay?

I have high hopes for this one!

But as far as buying a $300 record...i think i'm more in the "i'll probably listen to it on youtube" income bracket at the moment.

[Maul]

Finished the book last night. I really liked it even when the ending left me a little confused. Can't wait to see the movie! David Fincher nails this kind of thriller and if the soundtrack is as cool as the little bits we've been able to listen or the SN or GDT ones already released, it's going to be a hell of a ride.

"consequence reprise"

[Atu]

If someone is interested in the song from the trailer PM me.
It's not extracted from the trailer itself but audiotrack used in it.

[elevenism]

i posted this in the thread about the book, but i decided to post it here too.
I got to thinking about the Flynn's writing style and the fact that she had written a book called "Sharp Objects," and i wondered if it was the same book i read in '08 or so about the journalist who cut words into her body with a razor blade.

Sure enough, it was.

It was gimmicky, like gone girl, but also wildly entertaining. I highly recommend it.

[richardp]

I as well just finished reading Gone Girl. Out of her three books, it was definitely my favorite. I feel like she couldn't figure out a way to end it other than what the reader already expected and wanted to throw in a cheap twist, that in effect cheapened the ending a bit. So I'm hoping she decided to do what SHOULD be done with Nick choking her, realizing he's just as bad as Amy, and then walking away to continue to figure out how to expose Amy's lies with Go and Boney, leading to Amy's arrest

I am extremely curious to hear how TR&AR make the film sound. I listened to the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack almost all of the time while I was reading this AND her previous book Dark Places (a story that I think is also suited extremely well for David Fincher), and the tone fits perfectly. Can't wait for them to finally announce the soundtrack.

so, yeah, you dug the other books too?
i recently realized that i read sharp objects when it came out and thought it was pretty dope.

[richardp]

so, yeah, you dug the other books too?

Yeah I read all three in order. Sharp Objects is probably her weakest book, but it's still pretty great. I though Dark Places was super riveting. It reads incredibly fast, and has just as good of a plot twist as Gone Girl. It's dark as shit, and like I said, the thing is just oozing "David Fincher". Him doing Gone Girl is still perfect, though, and thematically it's pretty cool that his last two films have been about a murder investigation where the victim was alive the entire time.

[elevenism]

richardp , it's funny, an ex girlfriend turned me on to Sharp Objects back in 08 or so and i loved it. I didn't, however, remember the title or the author.
I only recently made the connection. I suppose i will be reading Dark Places next.
A lot of people here didn't seem to be impressed with Gone Girl, but i fucking loved it.
I've been reading this book by a writer called Ben Coes, and it is pretty awful, but i'm the type who always has to be reading SOMETHING.
I went to jail a few months back and thought i was going to be doing a month, and also thought i was going to have my psych meds, so i bought a dozen books as i usually read one every couple of days in jail. But there was a problem with my prescriptions and i wound up in benzodiazapine withdrawal (preventing me from being able to concentrate enough to read for about a week), and my sentence was reduced to 2 weeks, so i have a bunch of random books i bought at walmart that i'm still slaving through. I think i'm gonna go ahead and get Dark Places now.

[burn.]

This truly looks and sounds amazing

[sheepdean]

I am liking the direction that the opening music is taking, something very natural about it

[snaapz]

Trent is still working on the soundtrack?? Phht. Danny Elfman woulda been done long ago!

Kidding. I'm very eager to experience this soundtrack.

[WorzelG]

It sounds to me like more guitars are being used, so I'm hoping for quite varied musical styles given we can assume there is an orchestra involved as well

[Reznor2112]

New Trailer!!! Music sounds amazing!!!

Thanks Reznor2112. You're about fourteen hours later than the post just four above yours ;)

^^^This! Sounds pretty bad ass. Bit OT for the "Scores" thread but would love to hear TR do some crunchy distorted guitar for new NIN.

[Reznor2112]

[gorast]

I'm not sure how to word what I think about the new music we've heard so far. It seems more...out there? Further towards the front? Dragon Tattoo was very subdued, very quiet, focusing more on creepy, but this seems bolder and more willing to be noticed and heard, rather than fading into the background like Dragon Tattoo's soundtrack often did.

I don't know what I'm talking about. The point is that it sounds good.

[butter_hole]

im rock hard listening to that. i got a lot of wood. damn

[Leviathant]

Surely, you can post something better than that next time you reply in a thread, butter_hole.

[xfocalinx]

Information about this soundtrack should be released soon, right? Details usually get released about a month before the movie comes out..right?

[gorast]

The big reveal certainly has to be coming up, but wasn't there only a week's notice with Dragon Tattoo? We might be looking at that situation again, which would place the soundtrack release in mid to late September, a couple weeks ahead of the film.

That's actually not too far away. Hm.

[howdidislipinto]

Totally thought until this very minute that the movie was coming out in December. Had no idea it's actually close enough that we can get excited about new music soon!

Edit: I wonder if they might go digital-only release style?

[Jon]

Thought this would be just as relevant here as in the Film section...

While a homevideo release of Gone Girl is still a ways off, Blu-ray.com currently has 2 versions listed:

• The first one is listed as a single BD with an iTunes video copy, as well as an Ultraviolet copy.
• The second one is listed as Limited Edition, with 2 BD's, as well as an Ultraviolet copy. Original Pressing is noted as including a slipcase.

No mention, at the moment, of either including a DVD copy. That 2nd option sounds like TGWTDT, so I'm personally thinking there will be a copy on DVD. The 1st one sounds like a "standard" HD studio release.

EDIT: more TR/AR behind-the-scenes goodness, please!

[sheepdean]

Good, blu-ray is over a decade old, we don't need BD/DVD bundles anymore. Ultraviolet is fine for those who don't upgrade

[Jon]

Good, blu-ray is over a decade old, we don't need BD/DVD bundles anymore. Ultraviolet is fine for those who don't upgrade

First a note, the 2nd version was listed as a "Digipak", not "Limited Edition". I guess I should have used the iPhone and iPad instead of relying on memory. The "slipcase" part is still true.

To your point, Mr. 'dean, I agree with you to a point. I personally buy Blu-ray 3D copies because they typically come with 3 physical versions of each movie, as well as 1-2 digital versions. That's my own personal preference, however, and is far from the way a typical consumer looks at homevideo (and multimedia overall) these days.

The Bootleg-style DVD fit with TGWTDT for obvious reasons.

[sheepdean]

Consumers would stick with VHS if the manufacturers didn't force them to upgrade :P

DVD isn't obsolete yet, but it's getting there, and relying on it too much is holding back BD development

Back on topic, anyone started digging through nullco site files or anything to see if we have any early uploads

[cahernandez]

I, for one, would like to hear Mariqueen in a badass song in this soundtrack (and I know I'm not alone here). Or some other strong female vocalist in a non-instrumental track. Even though they are covers, I think some of the best Reznor tracks post The Fragile are Immigrant Song and Is Your Love Strong Enough? Can't get enough of those!

[jmtd]

Blu ray will never replace DVD and nor is it designed to. I'd not be surprised if media-less digital kills bd before DVD. The price of bd-r is pegged artificially high which IMHO is hurting bd adoption.

[slave2thewage]

People still watch movies on discs?

[thevoid99]

People still watch movies on discs?

Yes. I'm one of those that still watches films on DVD and I've managed to attain a pretty good collection so far.

[Leviathant]

People still watch movies on discs?

When I want high quality, I watch on disc. Streaming from YouTube/Netflix/Hulu means compression artifacts, limited color palette, limited audio options, and fewer bonus features. I bought "Planet Earth" on BluRay before I even had a BluRay player. I got the Alien Quadrilogy on BluRay when it was on sale for something absurd like $25. Same with the super duper mega Blade Runner release.

I still only use my BluRay player maybe three times a year, but it's there when I want it.

[eversonpoe]

People still watch movies on discs?

:p

i love owning a physical product (and literally will not pay for a digital download of something unless that is my only option). also, discs usually come with a plethora of bonus features (audio commentary, gag reels, deleted scenes), whereas streaming services don't often offer those things. and yes, i could probably find those things on youtube (in really terrible quality), but i like owning all of them.

all that said, i totally understand the move to non-physical media. it makes sense for the majority of people. but it also makes me feel like a "get off my lawn" grandma.

[butter_hole]

Dragon Tattoo didn't make a whole lot of money. This should do better, having a bigger star, half the budget and the (more recent) weight of its huge book behind it; I still see piles of GG every time I go anywhere near an airport and it's currently #6 in the NYT Bestseller list after 90 fucking weeks. So the home release should be a bit more expansive than the Dragon Tattoo one, which looked amazing and yet wasn't replete with features, was it? But will TR and AR have much left to say? The Social Network soundtrack was pretty ground-breaking, this is just... soundtrack #3. I doubt Hans Zimmer has a special feature for all of his work.

[BRoswell]

There were quite a few bonus features actually.

[Reznor2112]

Not sure whats wrong with his statement. He simply expressed his love for the new music tease. Yes it was a tad…"unclean" (I'm sure worse has been said on this board) but as far as the statement not "giving" the topic anything…there's technically nothing to talk about besides liking the new music.

Maybe I'm wrong and I'm sure ill get bitched out for questioning an admin but damn…when did this board get so strict?

[Deepvoid]

So what's the general rule of thumb for soundtrack release? A week before or after the movie is released?
Release date is October 3 so we should get more details about the soundtrack very soon I assume.

[Leviathant]

Maybe I'm wrong and I'm sure ill get bitched out for questioning an admin but damn…when did this board get so strict?

FFS. Please, show me where on ETS it is that people get bitched out for questioning admins - here, on a board with a forum dedicated specifically to questioning admins.

Just a random observation but the piano theme from the Gone Girl trailers sounds exactly like the music from this Portal movie:

[Ryan]

Perhaps a 'this got me hard' button as well.

I vouch for this.

[sheepdean]

I'm not gonna link to the daily mail because fuck them, but there's a brief thing with Atticus there:


Now their third project with the filmmaker is getting ready to hit cinemas, Gone Girl, with Atticus saying it's 'the best thing we've done'.

I feel like the music fits beautifully with the picture but it also feels like our most experimental work,' he said.

'The process was different partly because Trent and I were working on it in between his Nine Inch Nails tour and there was something magical about that.'
Starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike in the lead roles, with Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry making up the supporting cast, Gone Girl follows the plight of a husband who becomes accused of his wife's murder after she goes missing under suspicious circumstances.


As one of only a select handful of people in the world to have seen the finished cut of the film - and loved the best-selling novel it's based on - Atticus said audiences are in for a treat.
'I like it when I go into a cinema and I'm not aware that I'm there, I'm totally involved in the film for two hours.
'With Gone Girl I sat down and suddenly the end credits were rolling, you just become so engrossed in it.
'From the very first time I saw it I thought it was a superb film.
'From day one it seems like David has had a clarity of vision before he even picked up the camera.'

[wizfan]

I hope they'll be able to release a 5.1 mix this time. Their surround stuff are brilliant. In Motion, with its thumping bass and that synth outburst towards the end, should be a benchmark for surround speaker systems. I remember watching Dragon Tattoo in a theater and I could hear similar surround outbursts when Infiltrator was playing. Oh, the surround release that Tattoo could have been... sigh.

On another note, the guitar theme on the trailer reminds me a lot of the Call of Duty theme. Similar tempo and beat, distorted guitar...

[Sarah K]

I stayed away from all of the threads until I finished the book. The first part of the book was boring, and I actually stopped reading. But last week at work, I had nothing to do, and picked it back up. The middle part is interesting, and that should make for good movie... The ending was lazy and horrible. I'm really thankful that it is being rewritten!

I'm excited for this now!

[elevenism]

Yeah I read all three in order. Sharp Objects is probably her weakest book, but it's still pretty great. I though Dark Places was super riveting. It reads incredibly fast, and has just as good of a plot twist as Gone Girl. It's dark as shit, and like I said, the thing is just oozing "David Fincher". Him doing Gone Girl is still perfect, though, and thematically it's pretty cool that his last two films have been about a murder investigation where the victim was alive the entire time.


thanks for the tip on "Dark Places."
I'm listening to a digital copy...halfway through and i'm fucking LOVING it.

i remember reading sharp objects pretty vividly now and thinking that it was so REFRESHING and, well, sharp. I love Flynn's "voice."

Unlike a lot of folks here, i really liked Gone Girl.
I think i'm going to wind up liking Dark Places even more. Maybe it will get a film treatment too.

[richardp]

Maybe it will get a film treatment too.

There already has been one made with Charlize Theron as Libby Day, but it's stuck in distribution limbo. Sucks too, the film's got a great cast.

[elevenism]

JESUS dark places was fucked up.
i think it was better than gone girl.

[sheepdean]

Anyone else set up alerts on every music marketplace for anything called "gone girl"?

[BenAkenobi]

Is it fair to assume it'll pop up in the same alerts set up for "nine inch nails"?

[sheepdean]

Is it fair to assume it'll pop up in the same alerts set up for "nine inch nails"?
Not always, if a music site simply lists the soundtrack, they may not add a description of origin. A search for Trent/Atticus should trigger it, but it can't hurt to add Gone Girl too

[WorzelG]

Interview with Trent and Atticus in the Wall Street journal. I imagine the amount of interviews etc will depend on the film buzz / critical and commercial success

http://online.wsj.com/articles/david-fincher-turns-to-trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-for-gone-girl-soundtrack-1409845014

I wonder if they will go to the premiere at the New York film festival?

[sheepdean]

"Their score for David Fincher's new movie, Gone Girl, in theaters October 3, is due the following week."

[otnavuskire]

"Their score for David Fincher's new movie, Gone Girl, in theaters October 3, is due the following week."


*initiate boners*

I'm pretty sure that sentence meant that they had to be finished creating the score the week after this interview was happening, not that it'll be released the week after the movie.

[WorzelG]

I like the idea of it starting with lilting melodies and then becoming something quite sick, also I can't get enough doleful piano!

[Brokenfern]

"As soon as the score is in, he'll be hitting the road on a NIN tour,..."

Wait, this can't be right. Another tour as soon as the score is in? This is the first I hear of this.

[botley]

This interview was conducted before the Summer tour.

[otnavuskire]

"As soon as the score is in, he'll be hitting the road on a NIN tour,..."

[cahernandez]

The score was in before they went on tour. This interview happened when he was still working on the score, which he finished before going on tour.

He kept working in the score during the tour. Check his instragram, he was working on it in the Florida date.

[Moebius]

Consequence of Sound is misreporting that PHM also included a live orchestra (http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/09/trent-reznors-score-for-gone-girl-recorded-with-live-orchestra-inspired-by-really-terrible-massage-parlor-music/). Looks like they missed a word when they read this part:



Today they'll listen to music for the film they recorded the day before with a live orchestra. That was a first for Reznor, who since the 1989 release of his first Nine Inch Nails album, Pretty Hate Machine, has been a pioneering figure in the genre of heavy, machine-made music classified as "industrial."

[otnavuskire]

He kept working in the score during the tour. Check his instragram, he was working on it in the Florida date.

I'm sure he was tweaking it, but the bulk of it would have been finished before the tour.

That article is actually why tend to hate music journalism. Mostly due to obligatory (unnecessary) flashbacks and retrospection in each paragraph.

Reznor... who just got off the X-month tour in support of [bullshit smartass description] Hesitation Marks... bla bla... returning to scoring Fincher's (who ... bla bla... also shot Only video and used Closer in Se7en) new movie, after TSN and TGTTDT... bla bla... Lost Highway... Natural Born Killers...
Jesus, get to the point already.
