I couldn’t help but expect a film score that was inspired by Jan Hammer’s music from “Miami Vice” or a variety of electronic scores that were very popular at the time. But the film’s composer, Chris Hajian, ended up creating something much more modern, and it acts as Robert’s conscience as he sinks deeper into a world of crime he may not get out of alive. – The Ultimate Rabbit

Composer Chris Hajian talks to The Ultimate Rabbit about his modern take on an ’80s-era synth score for The Infiltrator, directed by The Lincoln Lawyer‘s Brad Furman.  Based on a true story, the film takes place in the 1980s, as Bob Mazur (Bryan Cranston) goes undercover to take down Pablo Escobar’s Medellín cartel.  Read the full interview here.

If you’re a fan of Bryan Cranston in his acclaimed role in TV’s “Breaking Bad”, then don’t miss The Infiltrator, as he plays someone on the right side of the law!

Whether he’s working with the war-ravaged jungles of Tropic Thunder, the athletic glory of Dodgeball or the sultry espionage in Spy, Shapiro says that when he scores a comedy, he wants to make viewers care the way they would with a drama. – NPR

 

Over the years, Lakeshore Records has released numerous scores by composer Theodore Shapiro.  From the recent Central Intelligence (get it here) to Zoolander 2, or comedy classics like Tropic Thunder and Blades of Glory, we love NPR’s observation (read the story here) about Theodore’s treatment of his comedy scores.  He explains, “I feel like comedies often work best when the audience is just simply invested in those movies as stories.”
