At the BFI Q&A (videos now cruelly deleted thanks to the BFI), Duncan talked about how he got Clint Mansell on board for Moon. Like other talented people Duncan wanted on board, such as Kevin Spacey, Duncan had to make an entire first print of the film in order to convince them. Convinced they were but it can't have been easy. The first soundtrack for Moon featured Clint Mansell's earlier scores - such as for Requiem of a Dream. Clint saw it, the score didn't match and so he wrote Moon's own music. And it is tremendous.
Jake Gyllenhaal's films have been oustanding for their music - just think Moonlight Mile, Donnie Darko, Zodiac. And for scores, how about Brokeback Mountain? It was Oscar winning for Gustavo Santaolalla. And then there's Jarhead and Brothers - Thomas Newman scored both. Harry Gregson-Williams gave me another CD for the collection, for Prince of Persia.
Clint Mansell, I have no doubt, will give us another. Yet another reason - and there are so many - to tick off those days until Source Code is upon us.
