Members sonaboy Posted December 12, 2005 Members Posted December 12, 2005 As if this film wasn't looking good enough already with rotoscoped animation and what's been said to be one of the most faithful adaptations of sci-fi genius PK Dick's work - Radiohead may be doing an electro-rock score for the film being released next year. as read on Twitch.net__________ "I have a friend who is an animator on Richard Linklater's A SCANNER DARKLY. I thought you might be interested in this scoop. The movie is doing very well in test screenings, but the #1 complaint audiences have is with the score. So I can only tell you this anonymously, but the producers have approached RADIOHEAD about doing a new score for the film and it looks like everything is going to go through. So in addition to an awesome animated Phillip K. Dick film, we will have a brand new Radiohead score to look forward to. as far as I know, this is the first time Radiohead has ever done a score for the film. While this is still a "rumor" at this time, I would give it a 99% accuracy rating at this point. Also, I've seen the new trailer for the film and it is absolutely outstanding. It should be hitting the web any time now."__________ swwwwwwwwwwweeeeet! and any haters that want to walk in and just talk {censored} on radiohead to feel good about themselves can kindly lick the sweat off of my right nut, before getting the {censored} out of this thread. thank you, come again.

Members NoirAbattoir Posted December 12, 2005 Members Posted December 12, 2005 Dick was an absolute genius. Hollywood has actually done ok by his stories so far. Since this is animated I am hopeful it will also be good. I think radiohead would do a fine job scoring it, but I bet you won't hear one guitar.
Members Fourth Floor Posted December 12, 2005 Members Posted December 12, 2005 Jonny Grrenwood scored the Bodysong documentary and in the past the band have written music for a ballet (Sigur Ros did one half of the ballet too). So, not totally a surprise.

Bodysong is an awesome soundtrack, too. One of my favorites.

Members Zooey Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 Uh oh. Is this going to be more like Waking Life? Amazing too look at, but painful to sit through. Note to Richard Linklater: people do not actually talk like that. Even animated people.
Members gethsemane Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 Originally posted by Devi Ever rotoscoping? maybe. i totally forgot.
Members Zooey Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 Originally posted by Devi Ever rotoscoping? Rotoscoping seems to be more of an analog technology. You can see it in 70's and 80's animation. Ever seen Ralph Bakshi's attempt at "Lord of the Rings?" That's rotoscoping. Disney's Snow White is an even earlier example. The technique that Linklater used on "Waking Life" is more of a digital/photoshop kind of thing. Much more cartoony than Bakshi's rotoscoping.

No - it's rotoscoping, with some new technology - they call it "Interpolated Rotoscoping."so it's the same idea with some digital tech thrown on. either way it looks fantastic.
Members Duke Foog Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 man that friggin book was crazy. it was hard to follow. from what i remember it's like a cop who has a suit that changes his personality into that of the drug dealer that he's trying to find or some crazy {censored} like that
Members El Caballo Posted December 14, 2005 Members Posted December 14, 2005 No, there's no suit. There are, however, many mind-altering drugs, government conspiracies, and mental disorders. They all interact to produce a narrative that is overwhelmingly confusing, blackly funny, and strangely touching. I had to read the book twice before I understood what actually happened and how all the pieces fit together. Even the ending makes sense once you do that.
Members fridgebuzz Posted December 14, 2005 Members Posted December 14, 2005 Originally posted by El Caballo No, there's no suit. Yes, there actually is. "Scrambe suit" as I think it was called, scrambled your features so that no-one could really tell what you look like. You can actually see Keanu Reeves take it off in the trailer..
