[Hunter Rider]

Sure (even if i'm a little late t: lol )

Well ,imagine a cross between paul Veroheven , Darren Aronofky and giallo movies.

Xavier Gens movies are intelligent, sensible ,poetic ,and ,moody ,tense ,kinetik , violent , even gore :heart:

Maze you're back!!!t:

Damn that's a hell of a mix, is his action like Veerhoven ? I'm not sure who giallo is sorry

 

[Hunter Rider]

-The shooting will begin March 19 in Bulgaria.

Maze you're back!!!t:

Yeahh t: , nice to read you !

Damn that's a hell of a mix, is his action like Veerhoven ?

Yeah you know how Verhoven can be visceral ? Xavier action is not only spectacular ,but it actually crawll under your skin

I'm not sure who giallo is sorry

Italian slasher movie..Do you know Dario Argento for example? some moments of Xavier movies remind me of Suspiria.

Anyways if you don't , one can't know everything ( look at me i have just recieved 24 season 5 t: )

Indeed

About Hitman Xavier came back on Allociné to give us some news (after that one of our member asked him some specific question about the music.. meaning you're welcome . i will traducce )

Hello!!

.........About the music , we are trying to get the rights of Jesper kyd music for the game , and also some other artist for the original soundtrack .
Jean-Pierre Taieb is gonna work with me on the soundtrack and is gonna adapt the original game music ..for the moment we are trying to convince Trent Reznor of "Nine Inch Nails" to partipate , and also que Liz Fraser (Lord of the rings), Placebo, Aphex Twin and Massive Attack for some of the necessary songs for some parts of the movie

here's what i can say for the moment about the music.

I'm going back on it

kiss

Xavier.

Hello!
j'ai bien eu ton message Zafox, et c'est bien moi qui répond entre ma post prod de"Frontières" et la prépa d'"Hitman".
Concernant la musique nous essayons d'avoir les droits de la BO du Jeu de Jesper Kyd ainsi que d'autres artistes pour la musique originale.
Jean-Pierre Taieb va travailler avec moi sur l'orchestration et va se réapproprié la BO de Kyd pour l'adapter au film.
Pour le moment on cherche à convaincre Trent Reznor de "Nine Inch Nails" d'y participer, ainsi que Liz Fraser (Lord of the rings), Placebo, Aphex Twin et Massive Attack Pour les chansons necessaires à certains endroits du film.
Voilà ce que je peux dire pour l'instant...
J'y retourne
bise
Xavier
