For Pixar‘s Elemental, composer Thomas Newman was given the challenge of scoring for ‘elemental’ cultures that don’t exist in the real world, while instilling a sense of familiarity for the viewer. He says the real difficulty was to “point towards different cultures and never land on one.”
Directed by Pete Sohn, the story follows Ember (Leah Lewis), a fire resident working in her parents market, whose fiery temper leads her to a chance meeting with Wade (Mamoudou Athie), a sappy water resident working as a city inspector. While fire and water do not mix well, Ember and Wade find themselves growing closer and closer. Rather than focus on the clash between elements for the score, Newman says the most important thing to remember is that it’s a love story.
DEADLINE: You have a lot of different elements blending together, what were your initial inspirations?
THOMAS NEWMAN: The idea was to point towards different cultures and never land on one. The challenge was that it’s a made up world of elements, but there has to be some familiarity. There’s a sense of otherness, and I think in the case of Wade and Ember, there’s otherness on both sides. She lives on the other side of the river, he lives in town. I think the process was experimental, which was trying different sounds, different voices, and processing them a lot so that you’re not pointing towards any kind of world culture here in our world.
I think it was also very important to remember that it’s a love story. This sense of two people who really get along and genuinely liked each other was more important that this culture clash and element clash.
DEADLINE: Can you talk about the themes of the different characters?
NEWMAN: I don’t think I ever approach things with themes

Ellise Shafer SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Priscilla,” in theaters now. As the opening sequence of Sofia Coppola‘s biographical drama “Priscilla” unfolds, viewers meet a 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu (Cailee Spaeny) in 1959 West Germany to the tune of the Ramones’ 1980 hit “Baby, I Love You.” This time-bending choice may seem unexpected, but to those familiar with the work of Coppola — who famously soundtracked her 2006 historical film “Marie Antoinette” with the Strokes, Aphex Twin and the Cure — it won’t come as a surprise. After all, though the song is a subversion, it’s a cover of the Ronettes’ 1964 classic and carries much of the musical stylings of the period, courtesy of Phil Spector, who produced both versions.
