Conversations With Sound Artists: Matt Reeves, Michael Giacchino & More

Director Matt Reeves joins sound supervisors Will Files & Douglas Murray, and composer Michael Giacchino in conversation about their four-film collaboration, starting with Cloverfield and culminating with this summer’s War for the Planet of the Apes. The artists discuss the unique challenges of utilizing the vocalizations of the human actors for the apes, how the trailer for Cloverfield drove the movie and the challenge of making a scary monster movie with no musical score, and why Michael Giacchino originally did not want to write the score for Let Me In.
