.m_giacchino Talks WerewolfByNight, Directing in the MCU, ‘Rogue One,’ and His Favorite Horror Movie Scores [Exclusive] He also talks about future directing plans, why he thanked Brad Bird in the credits, and so much more.
If you’re a fan of Michael Giacchino and his fantastic work on Werewolf by Night, you’re about to be very happy. That’s because I recently conducted an extended interview with him to talk about the making of the Disney+ Special Presentation.
GIACCHINO: I mean, nothing is set in stone yet, but I imagine that Matt Reeves would probably hunt me down and cut me if I wasn't involved. But like I said, nothing's official yet. It's so far off at this point. It's all just general terms at this point. That's where I'm interested creatively when I'm trying to find different things to do. So it was pretty simple. I mean, it was just that, and from that conversation, we just kept talking about it more and more. Well, what could it be? What does that look like? How does that play out? Eventually settled on where we were and just kept going forward with it. But it was not a long and involved convincing thing. It was, Oo, that feels different. Let's explore this.
All the discussions would be discussions where everyone would get very excited about what we were talking about. There's a whole business side of this thing, which everyone is, they do all of that. But the thing that I found so refreshing and so wonderful was this just joyous love of movies and what they can be and what the infinite possibilities are, and trying to hone all that down to the one thing you want to do.
Then from there, who knows? We'll see what we do. We'll see where it goes. We'll see how we play it all out. But I didn't feel the need to worry about any of that at this point. And they certainly weren't mandating that I did, which I love that I thought that gave us a freedom to do something different and do something new.
If Kevin Feige called you and said, "We want you to direct again," are you more interested in doing more Werewolf by Night stuff or working on another character? What's the thing you go for? GIACCHINO: Yeah, no, no, absolutely. I definitely wanted this break. I definitely absolutely desperately wanted this break, but once you get what you want, then you're suddenly going, "Oh, oh wait, maybe is this what I wanted? I should be working. I should be doing something." I was just so used to that. But I am definitely taking this time to really sit down and think about what it is I want to do and just figure all that out. Yeah.
It would either inform something we needed to change in the cut or something we needed to change in the music. We had so much fun doing this. It was such a great process actually him editing and me composing together. We were kind of simultaneously doing this. Whereas normally I'm waiting for his cut. He'll send me a cut and then I'll get into it. This was such a different unique and organic process and I think it really helped. And it was just a lot of fun.
She was so smart and so willing to go for it and try. She loved this idea doing this thing in black and white and she just went on this crazy rabbit hole into every black and white movie known to man. We talked at length about everything from those sort of movies that we loved, whether it was The Third Man or whether it was Bride of Frankenstein or any of that.
I have a few other questions that I got from what we called the Twitter. Favorite horror movie scores? I always felt such empathy for them. So for me, I think the thing that is the lasting feeling you get from those is because of that empathy because they're about people. Ultimately the best ones are not about the killing and not about a monster rampaging. It's about the person behind the monster and the help they need and the help they're struggling to get. But in our world, especially today, everyone is so quick to just want to label you as something and disregard you.
GIACCHINO: A lot of similarities. It's all storytelling. And when I'm writing a story for a film, it's to help tell that story. It's to make sure that that story is telling the best version of it I can, and it's my job to keep an eye on the characters always at all times and allow you to understand how they're feeling. It's not about having you understand what's happening on screen.
