Interview: Brian Tyler (Thor: The Dark World)

Composer Brian Tyler returns for his fifth appearance on The Soundcast to talk about his new, out-of-this-world original score for the THOR: THE DARK WORLD. He also talks about his pastoral score for STANDING UP, his magical connection to NOW YOU SEE ME, going small-er with ASSASSINS CREED IV: BLACK FLAG, keeping his TV-game going with SLEEPY HOLLOW (Fox) and how he went from wanting to score CAPTAIN ATOM to IRON MAN 3.

Hollywood Records to Release Iron Man 3 Soundtrack by Brian Tyler on April 30th

Can you believe that it's almost been one year since THE AVENGERS blockbusted us?  Well, get ready to get riding again with Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) as the third installment, IRON MAN 3, is shooting off on May 3, 2013.

Lucky for us soundtrack-folk, the original score by BRIAN TYLER will get to us on an earlier flight than the film.  Hollywood Records (Where have they been, by the way?)  is releasing the soundtrack on April 30th and you, our fine, soundtrack-genius, friends are going to want to have this on pre-order.

Suffice it to say, those things you loved best from the scores of THE DARK KNIGHT, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, and even THE AVENGERS all come together here with Brian Tyler tying it all together with his signature sound.  You might say, "Wha?"  "Huh?" But you can just stop that now and do some trusting.  It's quite a ride...with a final track that you are NOT expecting...but will probably love.

For all of the important deets, you can read the full presser below, including some insightful quotes from Tyler.  To make it easy on you, here is that little pre-order link.  Use it and help support this site.  Thanks!

MARVEL MUSIC/HOLLYWOOD RECORDS PRESENTS
MARVEL’S IRON MAN 3 ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SCORE SOUNDTRACK
AVAILABLE ON APRIL 30th

Original Score Composed and Conducted by Brian Tyler

Burbank, CA -- April 5, 2013-- Marvel Music/Hollywood Records will release the original motion picture soundtrack for “Marvel’s Iron Man 3” on April 30, 2013.  Brian Tyler composed and conducted the original score.

Tyler has scored over 60 films that have grossed $3.6 billion worldwide.  He has composed and conducted the scores for “Eagle Eye” for producer Steven Spielberg; the box office hits “Fast Five” and “Fast and Furious” for Justin Lin; “The Expendables,” “Expendables 2” and “Rambo” directed by Sylvester Stallone; “Law Abiding Citizen,” starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler; the Keanu Reeves thriller, “Constantine” and the epic science-fiction film “Battle: Los Angeles.”

Tyler said, “When Marvel and Shane Black approached me about scoring ‘Iron Man 3,’ I was thrilled as a long-time fan of the series and super hero films in general. We all wanted this score to have a deeply thematic component with a strong melody. We felt that the story would lend itself best to go classic and use the orchestra as the main voice of the music, with horns and trumpets singing the new Iron Man theme in a strong way. I conducted the London Philharmonic at Abbey Road in order to give the score a sound that felt powerful enough to live up to its name. Shane Black was very supportive and collaborative in his vision for the film and the score, and Kevin Feige was also a kindred spirit in really reaching for something special.  Both of them are incredible film score buffs, and we all spoke the same film music language, which made for an awesome experience. In the end we went for a score that echoed the classics of super hero film history with a few surprises like a wild 1960s style main title piece that was an absolute blast to record.”

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley, Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” is directed by Shane Black from a screenplay by Drew Pearce & Shane Black and is based on Marvel’s iconic Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968.

“Iron Man 3” is presented by Marvel Studios in association with Paramount Pictures and DMG Entertainment. Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige is producing and Jon Favreau, Louis D’Esposito, Charles Newirth, Victoria Alonso, Stephen Broussard, Alan Fine, Stan Lee and Dan Mintz are executive producers. The film releases May 3, 2013, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

Marvel’s Iron Man 3 original motion picture soundtrack will be available wherever music is sold on April 30, 2013.
