On this episode, Brad, Kurt, and Alex talk about the mysterious, and intriguing world of film scores that were ultimately rejected. Composers are constantly performing a balancing act for directors and the studios backing the films. Many times, the last person studios, producers, or directors can turn to are composers to fix a film they think is failing. This creates a very difficult problem for composers, as they need time to craft such a specific art. They guys talk about film scores like The Most Dangerous Game by Max Steiner, one of the first scores to replace a rejected score in 1932. They also talk about rejected scores like 13th Warrior by Graeme Revell, Mission Impossible by Alan Silvestri, and Torn Curtain by Bernard Herrmann. They also talk about why film scores are rejected, what studios think or dont think about them, and how much pressure there is for a film to be perfect. Sometimes rejected scores are better than the originals, and sometimes there are good reasons for replacing them. Do you have a favorite rejected score? Write in and let us know, because this will not be the last episode about rejected film scores. There are many that deserves the light of day. Thanks for listening!
