![]() ![]() What can you tell us about the recording? Initially, it was planned to record the soundtrack in Los Angeles, but finally, it had to be recorded in Vienna, months later. We know first-hand that due to the global coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, the recording has been a complex process. We didn’t want to do a tear-jerking drama: the music had to be emotional but always somewhat optimistic. My main intention was to create a soundtrack that would bring viewers closer to the character’s suffering but without going overboard. ![]() These days you’re rarely asked for that, and I enjoyed it a lot. The director, Dana Gonzales, wanted a classic-sounding score with orchestral tuttis and strong melodies. The film is all about strength in the face of difficulties. What can you tell us about CENTURION XII soundtrack? What did you want to achieve with your music? What can someone find when listening to the soundtrack for the first time?Ĭenturion XII tells the story of Elissia, a young girl who is passionate about horses and who is diagnosed with a serious illness. Unfortunately, due to travel restrictions, we were unable to attend the recording session (neither in Los Angeles nor in Vienna), but with the recent publication of the video, we wanted to chat a little bit with Arturo Cardelús.Ĭenturion XII will be released in late summer 2020, and the soundtrack is slated to be released simultaneously, by a major record label. The film takes us through her process of struggle and overcoming, and shows us how a young Elissa copes with it.Īrturo Cardelús, an old friend of SoundTrackFest, invited us to cover the recording session of the soundtrack in March 2020 a session that was going to take place at the Warner Studios in Los Angeles, but that had to be postponed due to the pandemic, being finally carried on at the Synchron Stage in Vienna. In Centurion it's more like 200 who are attacked by the Picts.In times as complicated as those we are experiencing right now, and with the global pandemic of the Coronavirus COVID-19 affecting each and every portion of our lives, it is always appreciated receiving news such as the recent release by the composer Arturo Cardelús, of the video with the recording session of his latest project: the soundtrack form the movie Centurion XII.Ĭenturion XII is a film directed by Dana Gonzales and written by Bonn Collins, based on the story of Ellissia Hall (starring Amber Midthunder) a young girl passionate about horses, who is diagnosed with a serious illness. The Ninth Legion would have comprised about 4,000 men. There are some things Gladiator had that Centurion doesn't: a great screenplay, original vision, and a massive budget. Of course, there are quite a lot of fireballs in Gladiator too, during the opening battle in Germania. The centurions in Centurion get giant rolling fireballs, a weapon probably unknown to second-century Caledones. ![]() Like many things in this movie, this appears to be a homage to Gladiator, in which Maximus (Russell Crowe) says: "Whatever comes out of these gates, we've got a better chance of survival if we work together." The gladiators in Gladiator got the warriors of Scipio Africanus. "Whatever comes out of that mist, lads, you will hold the line," says Virilus. ![]() The soldiers realise they're being followed, and gather into a defensive formation. It's supposed to be mist, but it looks more like the industrial revolution has started just around the corner. Somebody has been going crazy with a second-century smoke machine. The legion heads north, deep into a Caledonian forest. Great balls of fireballs … looking familiar yet? ![]()
