Polish composer Abel Korzeniowski has replaced Owen Pallett for the score of John Mitchell Cameron’s upcoming drama “Rabbit Hole” according to MovieScore.
Final Fantasy mastermind and infrequent Arcade Fire member Pallett previously revealed he had been completing work for the film but, due to to prior scheduling with touring for his new album Heartland, would have to leave his work incomplete in the hands of producers to decide its future.
Unfortunately for Pallett, Korzeniowski has been recruited to score the film after making a name for himself with the moving and emotional score for Tom Ford’s “A Single Man” that featured on our Best Of Soundtracks & Scores list of 2009 and received a Golden Globe nomination.
As disappointed as we are to miss out on hearing what Pallett created, Korzeniowski is more than suitable replacement with the themes of Cameron’s film not dissimilar to that of “A Single Man.”
“Rabbit Hole” stars Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart as a young couple trying to cope with the accidental death of their young son in what Cameron described as an anti-Hollywood production. David Lindsay-Abaire adapted the film from his own play with some plaudits already earmarking the film as a potential 2010 award season contender.
Fox Searchlight will likely release the film in the fall. It will be interesting to see if Korzeniowski incorporates any of Pallet’s themes or direct pieces into the film or if the material he had written so far is simply scrapped.
