Below, Desplat offers further insights into the crafting of his Little Women score. Additionally, the composer shares where he’s at with two highly anticipated upcoming projects: Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch and Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion take on Pinocchio.
The French Dispatch is an incredible, sophisticated story by Wes. The great thing with Wes is that he has no fear about what the music can do, and how we can assemble instruments that [one would not expect] to be assembled together. We’ve done that in the past with Mr. Fox, or Isle of Dogs, or Grand Budapest.
It’s always a strange set of instruments, and here again, we’ve played around with different types of instrumentation to create something weird. There’s a lot of bassoons and solo pianos, which we never really used in these movies; solo piano [is] rarely used in cinema now. And it’s a very, very challenging film. It’s incredibly virtuoso mise-en-scène, and I think to this day, it’s his most accomplished movie.
Pinocchio is a stop-motion movie, and I’ve been writing songs for that film.
Ogólnie widzę ktoś tam w Netflix jest fanem tradycyjnych technik animacji poklatkowej. Bardzo dobrze, mogą sobie pozwolić na bardziej ekstrawaganckie projekty.
No dobra, misiaczki, wychodzi na to, że w maju oprócz Wdowy będziemy mieli jeszcze jeden score Olka
Fox Searchlight potwierdził, że The French Dispatch będzie trwał ok. 108 minut, budżet podobny jak w GBH, czyli 25 mln dolców.
Oficjalny opis filmu: The French Dispatch is a love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city and brings to life a collection of stories published in The French Dispatch magazine.
Równocześnie na Amazonie wypuszczono zapowiedź scenariusza filmu i tam opis jest dużo bardziej dokładny, więc wrzucam to w spojler:
Spoiler:
The French Dispatch is the European edition of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun – a factual, weekly report on the subjects of world politics, the arts (high and low), fashion, fancy cuisine/fine drink, and diverse stories of human-interest set in faraway quartiers.
On the death of the Editor –in-Chief, the editorial staff decide to publish a last, memorial edition highlighting the three best stories which appeared over the ten-year existence of the magazine. The stories involve an artist sentenced to life imprisonment for a double homicide; student riots, and a kidnapping resolved by a chef.
The film stars Wes Anderson regulars: Bill Murray, Jason Swartzman, Owen Wilson and Tilda Swinton, as well as newcomers Timothee Chalamet and Elisabeth Moss.
The screenplay has the wit and imagination that has made Anderson’s previous films, like The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs such unique cinematic experiences.
Wygląda na to, że to będzie ten "film-antologia", o którym Wes mówił kilka lat temu:
Spoiler:
Last year at the Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival, Anderson said he was working on a movie would be influenced by the work of Italian filmmaker Vittorio De Sica and that would be narratively divided into episodes, the same structure used in De Sica’s anthology film, “The Gold of Naples” — a movie Anderson presented at the LEFF and that just recently finished its run at New York’s Film Forum after being absent from screens for decades.
Spoiler:
Anderson briefly spoke about the movies bubbling in his head at the aforementioned Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival in the fall of 2014, and the impact of De Sica’s film. "I’ve always been interested in this form of a movie that’s a collection of stories," he said. "And often [anthology films] are uneven, usually there’s a different director doing each segment. It’s rare to see one that’s all one director’s work.”
A na dodatek jakaś francuska aktoreczka się wygadała, że:
Spoiler:
According to the actress, she said that filming “The French Dispatch” was an interesting experience because it’s difficult to know what the final version of the project will look like because there will be segments of “black and white” and “animation.” Now, animation isn’t anything new to a Wes Anderson film. He’s used stop-motion previously and it’s unclear if that’s what she means, or perhaps the filmmaker is using more traditional styles. However, the black and white aspect is new and leads us to believe that “The French Dispatch” could be structured in a very interesting way.
Ale najciekawsze jest to, że premiera scenariusza przypada na 21 maja 2020. A oficjalnie wiadomo, że film ma mieć światową premierę na jednym z największych europejskich festiwali Hmmmmmm, no to zastanówmy się, gdzie może mieć premierę kręcony we FRANCJI "FRANCUSKI Łącznik" z muzyką FRANCUSKIEGO kompozytora? xD Tym bardziej, że dwa ostatnie filmy Wesa pokazywane w lutym w Berlinie zawsze w listopadzie miały już wypuszczone zwiastuny, a tu cisza. Cannes w tym roku odbywa się w dniach 12-23 maja, a przewodniczącym będzie Spike Lee No więc można się spodziewać, że film wejdzie do kin, podobnie jak pokazywane również w Cannes Moonrise Kingdom, w drugiej połowie maja Can't wait!
A przy okazji, to chyba oznacza, że być może zwiastun wypuszczą w tym miesiącu... Oby!
No nie wiem czy szybko. Liczyłem na to, że jednak premiera będzie w okolicach maja (Cannes). I pytanie, czy polski dystrybutor też to wypuści w lipcu, czy zdecyduje się poczekać do jesieni albo nawet dłużej
Olo robi Black Widow 
Potwierdzony w nowym trailerze.
Can't wait!
