Director / Composer - Michael Giacchino and Editor - Jeffrey Ford ACE
WEREWOLF BY NIGHT'S Michael Giacchino and Jeffrey Ford have had many occasions to work together in the past, but never quite like this. While WEREWOLF BY NIGHT is Michael's first time in the director's chair for Marvel Studios, he's been the composer on five of their features, two of which were also cut by Marvel stalwart, Jeffrey Ford. However, this special presentation for Disney + marks their first time collaborating as director and editor.
WEREWOLF BY NIGHT begins after the death of legendary monster hunter, Ulysses Bloodstone. Five experienced monster hunters are summoned by Ulysses' widow, Verussa, to Bloodstone Manor where they are instructed to participate in a competitive hunt to determine their new leader. The object of their hunt is to retrieve the powerful Bloodstone from an unknown foe.
MICHAEL GIACCHINO
In addition to his work as composer on WEREWOLF BY NIGHT, Michael has also scored the Marvel features; DOCTOR STRANGE (2016), SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING (2017), SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME (2019), SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (2021) and THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER (2022). Outside of the MCU, Michael's work can also be heard on; RATATOUILLE (2007) - for which he won an Oscar®, JURASSIC WORLD (2015) and Taika Waititi's upcoming feature, NEXT GOAL WINS (2023).
JEFFREY FORD ACE
While Jeff Ford's career has been punctuated by the excellent work he has done in smaller projects such as; ONE HOUR PHOTO (2002), BLOODWORTH (2010) and THE COMEY RULE (2020), it is his impressive and unmatched roster of eleven MCU films (plus THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER and WEREWOLF BY NIGHT for Disney+) for which he is most well known.
In our discussion with Michael and Jeffrey, we talk about:
Honoring the horror films of the past
The advantages of having the editor on set
Brad Bird getting inside of your head
The Easter eggs of Fireball Island
How to transpose for a flaming tuba
