Yes, Michael is “relaxed,” he’s a movie , he’s a television celeb- rity, he’s a nightclub sensation, he’s a social issue and, of course, he’s one of the world’s most successful recording artists. All in all, he’s an entertainment phenomenon the likes of whom emerge only a half-dozen times or so in the course of a century. Oh wait -- that’s Dean Martin. Well, Michael Giacchino is relaxed, too. And he’s a darned good film music . In fact, you know what? I’d hire him to write film music over Dean Martin any day. One, because Dean Martin doesn’t write film music and two, because he’s dead. So Michael has it over Dean Martin 100%. Granted, there are other people who write film music that aren’t dead. So why was Michael Giacchino perfect for this job? is nothing if not eclectic. It demands a lot as it switches from a nostalgic memory, to a trio of goofball tagalongs, to an action adventure. As we listed the litany of skills we were looking for in a composer, a music agent told us, “Sounds like you need three !” Of course, we got Michael Giacchino, who single-handedly wrote everything we needed and tied it all together beautifully. His action music is exciting, his comedy funny without trying, and his nostalgia makes me cry every time. His approach is character based, and the music became as important as the characters themselves. It was as if he had somehow reached out into the sky and grabbed the soundtrack for our film, as if it has always existed out there, waiting for our movie to come along. Working with Michael was a real privilege and this soundtrack is Michael at his best. I know every director says that, but this time it’s true! Listen and see if you don’t agree with me.
