JEFF AND MYCHAEL DANNA's "IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS" on [CD]

From the press release:

“In writing the score for Terry Gilliam’s Doctor Parnassus we sought to create music as timeless and archaic as the immortal Doctor himself.” - Mychael Danna

Director Terry Gilliams’ Worlds of candy canes, mile high ladders, giant cobras come and go
and transform into other wonders. To underline the dream-like states and fantastical elements
of Gilliam’s cinematography, Jeff and Mychael produced a breathtaking and surprising
post-modern score. Tangos, Waltzes, Tibetan monastic chant, Mediaeval Music and a greasy
noir-ish saxophone tune for Tom Wait's characterization of Satan all mix together with a full
orchestra and a couple of show-stopping songs.

The brothers last collaborated with Terry Gilliam on his 2005 film Tideland. As Michael Danna
remarks: “This is our second collaboration with Terry, and so we were prepared for the
madness, mayhem and just plain fun that comes with working with his boundless creative
spirit.”

JEFF DANNA to score the sequel to ‘The Boondock Saints’


According to the new online movie score assignment and news magazine, Mikael Carlsson's moviescoremagazine.com, the composer is working on the sequel of The Boondock Saints from 1999 who was too composed by Jeff Danna and marked his big break in the film music business.

Now he's back and he's working on the sequel, which is called The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day and scheduled to premiere on October 30.

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is the sequel to the indie film The Boondock Saints. It continues writer and director Troy Duffy's saga of fraternal twins, the MacManus brothers. The two have been in deep hiding in the quiet valleys of Ireland, far removed from their former lives or modern technologies. When word comes that a priest has been killed by sinister forces in the tough underworld of Boston, they return to mount a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those who must now suffer the consequences, with a new partner in crime (Clifton Collins, Jr.) and a FBI operative (Julie Benz).
