The Question Unasked
Some number of weeks ago, I made a big stink about a Goners-related question I had for Joss that I was going to ask if he showed up during a particular convention in Burbank. And I steadfastly refused to tell anyone what that question was going to be.
It was, I thought, a fairly atypical question, and one which wasn’t in search of spoilers. Rather, it was more a matter of trying to get some sense of the intended mood, or tone, for the film. But the convention in question was cancelled, and Joss might still have been in the UK anyway.
And so the question never was asked. Which means I might just as well share it now, here. Who knows, maybe Joss will get wind of it and answer it anyway.
The question: “During the production of Serenity, the work of a certain composer, for whatever reason, reportedly was turned down for that film. In terms of what you envision for the mood or tone (and with the assumption that we’d be thinking more along the lines of his work for the Coen brothers than, say, his work for Disney) would Carter Burwell be suited to score Goners?”
