Mandy: The Highly Anticipated Movie Trailer Debuts, Johann Johannsson Score Coming Soon | The Playlist

Cage’s seemingly inherent visceral nature is back on display in “Mandy,” which many from Sundance consider being his best work yet –  Jacob Davison, The Playlist

Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy movie is one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year, starring Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough and Linus Roache.  The Playlist pretty much says it seems as if everything Cage has done so far has led up to this.  You’ll have to watch the trailer to find out.  It’s psychedelic.  It’s metal.  It’s everything and more.  

Suffice it to say, the late Johann Johannsson’s score is equally highly-anticipated. Read the full story at The Playlist!  What do you think of the trailer?  Let us know in the comments below.

Considering this, its safe to say that only greatness is expected from any title with a Jóhannsson stamp of approval. 

RLJE Films presents MANDY, in theaters, VOD and Digital on September 14.

Mandy. The time has come… Trailer Premiere Wed Jun 27th. – – We miss Jóhann so much.- – – “The soundtrack is equally highly worked, though dominated by Oscar-nommed Icelandic composer Johann Johansson’s original score, which sports a variety of textures apt for a movie that often feels like a vintage prog-metal concept album illustrated.” – Variety – – “The grainy 16mm imagery, a vibrant mixture of neon hues and shadows set to Johan Johansson’s disorienting score, suggests a gothic fantasy unfolding within the confines of a heavy-metal poster.” -IndieWire – – “Mandy doesn’t have a heavy metal soundtrack (though its soundtrack is an incredible hodgepodge of eerie brooding synths), but it is a total heavy metal movie, filled with panel-van airbrush imagery, cultist weirdos, and a group of bikers that seem inspired by Cenobites in the best way possible (they also have their very own drug, and when Cage takes a taste it is a sight to behold). This movie even has animated sequences and a chainsaw duel.” – BirthMoviesDeath – – “Cosmatos is the dominating force for “Mandy”‘s avant-garde horror first half, relishing demonic synth music cues (from Johann Johannsson) and establishing many characters as mysterious, rambling beings of an insidious universe. “- RogerEbert.com – – #mandyfilm #mandy #sundance #filmtrailer #nicholascage #johannjohannsson #spectrevision #beyondtheblackrainbow #panoscosmatos #cultfilm #midnightmovie #elijahwood #filmcomposer #soundtrack #soundtracks #moviesoundtrack #horror #horrormovie #lakeshorerecords #invadarecords #revenge #moviemusic @johann_johannss @spectrevision @spectrevisionmusic #andreariseborough @invadarecords @lakeshorelovesvinyl @panoscosmatos @wallerjoshc #xyzfilms @xyzfilms #filmscore #filmcomposer @indiewire @variety #variety #indiewire @johnhbergin #electronicmusic

MANDY: From Cannes With Love, Praise For Jóhann Jóhannsson Score

Mandy has been playing festivals from Sundance to Cannes with rave reviews and much love for the score by the late, beloved composer Jóhann Jóhannsson who has left us far to soon.

The Panos Cosmatos’ action-thriller is set for release later this year by RLJE Films. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Andrea Riseborough.

“The late Jóhann Jóhannsson’s epic-sounding, metal-tinged score make Mandy feel as if it’s taking place outside of time, dwelling in its own nightmarish realm in which frightening supernatural creatures coexist with their human counterparts.” – ScreenDaily.com

It also features the final completed score by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannson, which drifts between sighing, swelling synths and apocalyptic thunder-crashes of electric guitar. It is outstanding – arguably the film’s very soul – though you wouldn’t want to listen before bed. – Telegraph.co.uk

The late Jóhann Jóhannsson’s synthesiser-heavy score and Benjamin Loeb’s colour-saturated cinematography delivers the promise of every great painted 1980s VHS box cover.  – The Guardian.com
