Kevin was like, Really?
But he loves that stuff too, so it all came together.
My brother Anthony and I would always spend Saturdays watchingold monster movies, Giacchino explains.
Whether it be Ray Harryhausen movies,the old Universal movies, orHammer films, we didnt care.
Music has to go hand in hand with the story, he says.
I felt very prepared.
There are a lot of similarities between music and filmmaking.
I regularly have to wrangle 150 to 200 people to get a score put together.
Here, the crew is your orchestra.
I love that the Universal horror movies were just like, Okay, heres some money.
Go make a movie; youve got two weeks.
Im a filmmaking geek, he says.
I wanted to operate the Steadicam.
I wanted to do the boom mic.
I tried focus-pulling, even pushing the dolly.
But it wasnt all geeking out on set for Giacchino.
Doing this stuff is exhausting, and its hard.
Youre doing long hours.
Sometimes we were out filming till six in the morning.
Its just the nature of the beast.
The nature of the beast is key to the project itself.
And weve lost the heart of it as well.
), but its clear that the subject matter resonates deeply with him.
They dont want to connect with them or understand them.
Anything that makes you feel alienated or less than thats what monsters represent.
Theyre constantly struggling to be seen, to be heard, to be accepted.
Lets look into their souls and see what its really like to walk in their shoes.
A lot of it is practical effects that we did in-camera, Giacchino confirms.
Most of the makeup was practical, and most of the monsters were.
Also important to Giacchino was thatWerewolf By Nightbe filmed on a traditional set.
Everyone is in costumes.
If they have a scene with a monster, that monster should be there in front of them.
They should be able to react to it, look at it, and talk to it.
Not just have a tennis ball on a stick.
AfterWerewolf By Night, Giacchino isnt sure what will happen next.
For the first time in 20 years, his diary is pretty much clear.
I would love to make more things for Marvel.
This is a big experiment for us.
Everyone has ideas, but nothing has been figured out yet.
I guess Im never going to grow up.
Werewolf By Nightwill be streaming on Disney+ from October 7.
