Elliot Goldenthal will write the music for Julie Taymor's The Tempest, based on the famous Shakespeare play. This will be the fourth feature film project for the married couple, following Titus, Frida (which earned Goldenthal an Academy Award) and last year's Across the Universe. Inventive as always, Taymor is switching the gender of Prospero to Prospera in her version of The Tempest. Helen Mirren will play the lead, supported by Jeremy Irons, Geoffrey Rush, Alfred Molina and Chris Cooper. Film went into production on November 17 and will finish shooting in January. Miramax will distribute some time next year. Elliot Goldenthal is also doing the music for Michael Mann's new film, Public Enemies.

Faithful Blood Spattered Blog readers may well know by now that I am obsessed with music and its effect on the moving image. I myself am something of a musician too and it's always a pleasure to talk to other mildly deranged audiophiles who craft their own sounds for films that either exist or exist within the cozy confines of their skulls.

One such composer is Edward Douglas, who in 1996 formed the majestic dark music collective known to horror enthusiasts everywhere as Midnight Syndicate.

I love this man's deep, dark and gleefully ghoulish arias and, in the wake of his most ambitious and eeriest release The Dead Matter: Cemetary Gates (the 10th Ms album to date and not to be confused with the film The Dead Matter that is in fact directed by the multi-talented Douglas), I opted to pin Douglas down and ask him many, many questions.

Here is that interview.
