But I thought it made for a fun opener to the movie.

And speaking of fun, before we get any further here, So the score for the movie was by Graham Revell.

Okay.

Did you think about anything when it came to the score?

Lots of strings.

It's just super, super lush for this type of movie.

And apparently Hollywood producers had asked Graham Revell if he had ever worked on a large symphonic orchestra.

And he said, yes, but I think we will lovingly refer to that as a little bit of a stretching of the truth.

G-R-A-E-M-E?

Graeme Revel.

That's how I'm going to say it.

I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly.

Damn, that's a cool fucking, what do you call it, like resume, though.

I got to say, too, the composer, Graham Revell, he's somebody I've just been noticing his name on a lot of things lately, especially throughout the 2000s.

He was like a big composer for a moment.

But he did like Pineapple Express.

He's a returning champion because he scored Planet Terror.

Yeah.

The score by Graham Revell was a score that was basically done, um, not last minute, but, uh, there was originally, it was going to be, um, Johnny Klimek and the guys who work with, um, Tom Tickver.

Okay.

It's, it's those, Ryan Holdah Heil and Johnny Klimek were going to do the score and they, you know, instead they had for whatever reason, Graham Revell come in and do a score for it instead.

And the score sucks.

This is, this is not a good scale score by Graham Revell.

Yeah.

I mean, it's very, very common, just lowest common denominator type stuff.

I vaguely remember The Bees, the band.

And then some of the score is by Graham Revell.

I think he's reasonably of note.

I've seen his name on soundtracks over the years.

The game was widely praised for its visuals, considering it was considered the showcase next-gen game of the 360 launch.

The score was composed by Graeme Revell, who scored such films as Street Fighter 1994, Classic, Lara Croft Tomb Raider, and Freddy vs. Jason, some of our greatest video game characters.

And Michael Schiffer, he came back to return as the scenario writer, and the story was once again criticized for being shallow and thin.

This one is not found in any all-time lists, and it shows up in the middle to lower middle of franchise rankings, usually.

yeah

and using string samples as a basis for soundtrack stuff now this is it's probably before Graham Revell from SPK starts doing stuff he ends up doing the Crow soundtrack for example so it's the beginning I mean again I think Peter was so advanced in terms of technology so he's kind of like playing with that stuff And whether for them it sounded too lo-fi or it just sounded too creepy, it was rejected.

But they just released it themselves.

But what is beautiful is on that 10-inch, on the other side of that 10-inch, and it ends up on Non-Natural History, is eight minutes of music that at the same time Peter Christofferson was doing for adverts.
