News Sound Bites - Random stuff today...
Alfred Molina and Sir Ben Kingsley sign on to Prince of Persia movie. Movies based on video games make me twitchy, but at least we know two things wont suck about the film...
LATimes Blog, has a neat post up about the musical score for 'The Dark Knight'. I'm so stoopid 'cited for this flick!
Congrats to the cast of The Simpsons! Deal negotiated without Fox execs (jerks) threatening to replace them (they're just voices right), like in 1998 when they hired casting directors to replace voices (or how Tress MacNeille's roles showed up in my hands before The Simpsons Movie). You're now paid ALMOST HALF what you're worth!
Missed this story from a couple weeks ago on IO9, about the passing of two great sci-fi soundtrack composers. Bebe Barron who scored Forbidden Planet (AWESOME flick), and Alexander Courage who scored the theme to Star Trek. Great post on IO9, I just find it a lil creepy that the Federation in ST is loosely based on Forbidden Planet...
Zombie musical based on the cult hit Evil Dead? YOU BET! The posters advertising it are HI-sterical too!

Tony Awards add Sound Design!
Not much of a story here per se, but I'm glad to see it. I got my start making cheesy college black box theaters sound like bowling alleys and such.
From Broadway.com:
"The Tony Awards Administration Committee met for the first time on June 19 to vote on the addition of two new competitive categories for future Tony ceremonies. The newly announced categories for which the upcoming season's productions will be eligible are Best Sound Design of a Play and Best Sound Design of a Musical. With the inclusion of these new categories, there will now be a total of 27 competitive categories for which qualifying productions will be in contention."
***UPDATE***
More info can be found here at Playbill.com.
