David Arnold has revealed on Twitter that he is attached to score the upcoming BBC and Netflix mini-series "Dracula". The show is written and created by Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss (BBC "Sherlock").
Hopefully he gets an orchestra. Definitely a shame no one wants to hire him for films anymore.
"Just a thought, but maybe he's not interested in bigger assignments, maybe he likes me time off.
Yes, that's true. He told me this at the rehearsals before the concert in Krakow. When he told me this, I wasn't surprised. He has everyting - the money, a good CV & the family."
That doesn't make much sense... TV scoring is usually even faster job and probably more pressure one as well with much longer running time of the content and need to produce more music... while in movies he "only" works on a project for eg 2 months, wouldn't a TV series such as Dracula or that other one coming very soon take much more of his time?
Still hope he'll be back for the new Bond at least.
He will give them (EON/Broccoli Family) Bond 25 score, if they will ask him for it. He writes this on Twitter as an answer a couple of times since a past two/three years.
Excellent. I'd love to hear a gothic/darkly romantic horror score by Arnold -- who has basically prematurely retired from feature films, it seems.
Wow, he did Bonds so what happened, Arnold is still the baby-age in the composer world, I liked his Sherlock projects but was surprised that they were collaborated on i didn't hear much of him after that, but Drac sounds cool looking forward too it.

Ditto your sentiments re David Arnold. I am also pleased with the comments that it is set in Victorian times and that Gattis is a fan of the Hammer Christopher Lee version.
Not to hijack this thread as I am excited about this new Dracula AND Arnold's score but...
Might anyone know where to find a copy of the score to the 1977 BBC production of COUNT DRACULA starring Louis Jourdan? The music by Kenyon Emrys-Roberts was particular beautiful and evocative.
