Alexandre Desplat ersetzt Alan Silvestri bei "Firewall"

[Marcus Stöhr]

Und wieder einmal werden Komponisten ausgetauscht. Nach dem Überraschenden Wechsel bei "King Kong", ist nun Alan Silvestri derjenige der seinen Platz für Alexandre Desplat räumen muss, meldet Music from the Movies.

[Antineutrino]

Die Meldung ist doch schon alt.-->http://www.alan-silvestri.com/main.html?/newsarchive.html

Grund waren übrigens Terminkonflikte mit "The Wild".

Die News ist alt das stimmt, aber dennoch freue ich mich, dass sie einen hochwertigen Komponisten wie Desplat als Ersatz genommen haben.

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Einerseits finde ich es schade (Silvestri gehört zu meinen Lieblingskomponisten), andererseits ist es schön, bald wieder einen spannenden Desplat-Thrillerscore à la HOSTAGE (?) hören zu können.

Und Silvestri hat ja mit THE WILD und BEOWULF schon zwei schöne Projekte am Laufen; da muss man nicht allzu betrübt sein, dass er FIREWALL jetzt doch nicht vertont.

Eine Score-CD wird am 14.2.2006 von Varese Sarabande veröffentlicht.

FIREWALL

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Alexandre Desplat

Harrison Ford

Virginia Madsen

Computer security specialist Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) works for the Seattle-based Landrock Pacific Bank. A trusted top-ranking executive, he has built his career and reputation on designing the most effective anti-theft computer systems in the industry, protecting the banks financial holdings from the constant threat of increasingly sophisticated internet hackers with his complex network of tracers, access codes and firewalls.

Jacks position affords a comfortable life for him, his architect wife Beth (Virginia Madsen) and their two young children a standard of living that includes a beautiful home in a residential community just outside the city. But theres a vulnerability in Jacks system that he has not accounted for: himself. Its a vulnerability that one very ruthless and resourceful thief is poised to exploit.

Bill Cox (Paul Bettany) has been studying Jack and his family for many months; monitoring their online activity, listening to their calls and learning their daily routines with an arsenal of digital and video recorders and parabolic microphones that tap into the most personal of information. Having spent the better part of a year methodically infiltrating every aspect of Jacks identity, Cox is now ready to make good on his investment.

Leading a tight team of mercenary accomplices, he seizes control of the Stanfield house, making Beth and the kids terrified hostages in their own home and Jack his unwilling pawn in a scheme to steal $100 million from the Landrock Pacific Bank.

With every possible escape route shrewdly anticipated and blocked by Cox, every potential ally out of reach and the lives of his wife and children at stake, Jack is forced to find a breach in his own formidable security system to siphon funds into his captors offshore account incriminating himself in the process and eradicating any electronic evidence that Cox ever existed.

Under constant surveillance, he has only hours to accomplish the risky transactions while desperately hunting for a loophole in the thiefs own impenetrable wall of subterfuge and false identities to save his family and beat Cox at his own game.

The thrilling score for Firewall was composed by acclaimed newcomer Alexandre Desplat.

Warner Bros. opens Firewall nationwide on February 10.
