“I was very happy to get the call that Paul Haggis wanted to meet as I was fan of his work. When he showed me The Next Three Days I was immediately drawn to the musical possibilities and I was quick to take the job. The first thing that struck me was that this probably wouldn’t be a conventional score, at least for me. I felt that Russel Crowe’s character carried so much internal conflict, as it is something that he does so well as an actor, that playing off that inner struggle would be challenging and engrossing
As I began work with Paul, I had no idea what to expect. After diving in and trying out a number of ideas, it quickly became a really creative and easy flowing collaboration. I was really impressed with his clarity of thought and his appreciation of the wide range of ideas he allowed me to explore. I knew early that the piano would be the centre of the score. it was a good thing that we didn’t record with a large orchestra because it forced me to be more disciplined and leaner in my approach, which I enjoyed. Most of all I enjoyed the simple straightforward process of working with Paul. His mind, his intuition and that he is simply a pleasure to be around has made this project go down as an all-around great experience for me.”
Thank you, Paul.

“I cannot imagine a better collaboration than the one I had with Danny. It is an inarguable fact that he is a musical genius. The true suprise was his openness, humility and unending generosity. I hope there are many more collaborations in our future, as the process was nothing short of pure joy, and resulted in what I’m sure you’ll agree is an incredible score.”
Sincerely,
Paul Haggis.
Just thought I’d type this out after recieving the proper CD today.
Shame. Though for a March movie that got mixed reviews to get a GG and BAFTA nom is pretty brilliant.
At least HTTYD was nominated.

Kraft said on FSM Danny should be signing on Wednesday and WB are looking to ship right after. The contents are still a suprise.
Won’t be out in January. Supposedly they’re holding it back until fall to build some buzz from festivals etc.
Im A Celebrity just played The Harvester Returns/Reveal/TheEscape/Hydrobot Attack/The Final Confrontation for the trial. :L
Amazon won’t let me buy it because I’m not from America, it’s not on the UK website. Same with iTunes.
