The Sound and Music of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-GHOST PROTOCOL and WAR HORSE
Both Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and Steven Spielberg's War Horse ended up on my list of Top 10 favorite movies of the year, and if you haven't seen either one yet I suggest you go out and do that as soon as you can because they were awesome films that you're sure to enjoy.
Soundworks Collection has released a couple new videos giving us an in-depth behind the scenes look into the sound and music of the films. Legendary John Williams wonderfully created the score to War Horse and Michael Giacchino created the musical score for Mission: Impossible.
Watch the videos below and tell us what you think!
In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection video we talk with Director Brad Bird, Composer Michael Giacchino, Supervising ADR Editor Gwen Whittle Yates and Supervising Sound Editor Richard Hymns. Tom Cruise returns in the starring role as Ethan Hunt and is joined by an international cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor and Léa Seydoux. Blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Ethan Hunt is disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the President initiates “Ghost Protocol.” Left without any resources or backup, Ethan must find a way to clear his agency’s name and prevent another attack. To complicate matters further, Ethan is forced to embark on this mission with a team of fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not fully know.

From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. In the exclusive SoundWorks Collection video we talk with Sound Designer and Re-recording Mixer Gary Rydstrom and Composer John Williams.
