To make things more awesome, the soundtrack might be in surround sound considering it's for a movie.

just speculation...

Against all odds, one film will fight for the basic right of a DVD release...
In all seriousness, though, I am pumped about this. Looking forward to some Chemical goodness. I wonder if this is what they said they would be working on in the studio...

It´s a Focus Features production, so it´s supposed to be a small movie. But they have managed to get the astounding The american to the Us box-office´No1,so...

Sure the plot sounds like an action flick (Nikita anyone?) and the previous Wright films are like, the antithesis of an action film, but it´s gonna be awesome...A spy movie...Shot in Morocco...with the Chems...

I´m going to melt right now

Very similar premise to the excellent film Leon.

The mise-en-scène of this looks ultra-cool

that would kick ass.

I like the looks of this movie. Hopefully the bros music fits it very well.

"The Chemical Brothers have just finished composing and performing their first film score, more than 60 minutes of music for Joe Wright's forthcoming thriller Hanna."

Joe Wright says:

" I’ve known them for a number of years. When I first left college I set up a company called Vegetable Vision, which was a lightshow company, and we used to go around doing projections at raves and nightclubs. We met the Chemicals back then, about ‘94, ‘95, and I’ve known them ever since."

I really didn't know he started Vegetable Vision!!

good news!

I'm affraid the film won't be as good as the soundtrack =/

Yay I can't wait for more block rockin' beats!

On the drive home I was listening to 2 songs that to me are Chemical perfection (The Reel and Escape Velocity) and I was wondering about the possibility of Chemical surround sound. Like, if my little brain could withstand the awesomeness of such a feat. I think if something like that ever came to be, I'd go into convulsions. OK, that's dramatic. But still. Would be pretty cool. There's been talk here in the past as far as whether the Chems should (or if they'd even want to) go surround sound. They've pushed the stereo envelope to the brink of bulging and tearing, so surround sound seems like the next leap...

Of course I would be fine with stereo or even mono - as long as it's new Chems!

Brothers and Sisters come on...

With their ability to put together songs like TPPS, and TSU, and TPWHYN (enough abbreviations already), songs with deep resonating emotion that go on for 9 minutes and leave you wanting more, the concept that this will be a disappointment is a shock to me.

The chems know how to dig deep into us and make us feel things that Daft Punk could only dream of. Look, I love Daft Punk, but to find out they're doing the Tron Disney Remake soundtrack, I found it only so fitting. Daft is one of the most groundbreaking acts of all time, but they also put out one of the most disappointing pieces of trash as their last effort, then disappeared. They fuck this up and they go down as those guys that put on amazing shows and made discovery.

My point is that the Chems are going to absolutely kill this movie. They're gonna sit there and watch the scenes, they're going to take the emotions that we are to feel, and they're gonna turn it into music, and we're all gonna be sitting in the theaters with butterflies in our stomachs and tears welling up in our eyes just like they did when we first heard star guitar driving in our car. Or like they did in my friend's eyes (who barely knew of the brothers) when Dissolve was played here in Chicago.

This... is going to fucking killl... and I can't wait.

Long live the brothers!

An awesome soundtrack won't make an average film into a good one. I'm not saying the film is going to be bad, but Tom and Ed won't produced or directed the film.

Ye, I completely agree on that statement. I could see it being like this... Tron the movie, cool as shit. Soundtrack... meh. Hanna the movie... um, not so much. Soundtrack... worth listening to on its own.

Bouh, how do you feel about the Virgin Suicides with the mostly Air score?

I haven't watched it yet. Should I ?

I agree with your sentiment Stumpbone - I think the Chems moving into this direction and providing aural soundscapes to film is an exciting move! We have talked about it here in the forum in the past and to see this finally being a reality is an awesome and promising development (from a fan perspective). I have no doubts about the music.



I know you didn't ask me what I think of Virgin Suicides but I'll chime in anyway, since Air's score is one of my favorite movie soundtracks of all time. I thought the film was good. Not great. But good. Sophia Coppola's style of directing can seem tedious at times but I thought the story itself was dark and intriguing, and the acting and direction and other aspects of the film I thought were good. The music was a perfect compliment to the film in that it was dark and dreamlike. In the end though, I thought the music transgressed the boundaries of the film. I certainly have listened to the soundtrack more times than the single viewing I had of The Virgin Suicides.

We'll see what Hanna has in store. I'll reserve judgment of the film until I see it for myself. I sure hope there's a theater close to me that will show it!

Oh brother. Great movie... haunting and somewhat disturbing but beautiful and a young Kirsten Dunst to boot.

The soundtrack is all done by Air other than 2 songs I believe.

Great soundtrack. One of my favorite works by Air, but I would say, the argument could be made very easily that by opinion, both are only a bit more than mediocre.

Definitely, even if it's only for the 5 (or was it 4 ?) hot blonde girls, and the soundtrack.
