This is a hilarious promo film (in Quicktime format) for the Hollywood Reporter’s “26th Annual Key Art Awards”. (You can right-click on it and choose “save as”.) It features the five men who perform almost all of the voice-overs in Hollywood.
(EDIT: Oops, I forgot the link. Sorry!)
What are the scores used for the background of this promo? Specifically after the second guy gets into the car, that piece sounds incredibly familiar.
Ed. Reply: Fortunately, you’re asking a soundtrack lover who knows almost all of those. Here are the ones I can detect (and the “unknown” ones are familiar and I will kick myself when someone else names them):
James Bond Theme
Back to the Future
Unknown sports music (or possibly western picture) as the second guy gets in car
Some intense Michael Bay movie music as guy with knife appears
Unknown – Intense music As third guy gets in
Sounds like Pacific Heights (FAMOUSLY used as trailer theme music)
Unknown jaunty piano piece
“New York, New York”
“Oh Yeah” by Yello
Unknown but very familiar Disney music
James Bond again
Actually this is part of the reason that I am enjoying the Simpsons less. For some reason I cannot get into it as much knowing that the voices for the entire town of Springfield are provided by like seven people.
Transformers only had about four (or six people at most) to provide background voices and that’s okay.
I can really handle all the known background characters and the leads being handled by more or less the same guys who have done the role for years.
But I’m getting sick of hearing Hank Azaria or Harry Shearer to Asian extra number 6 or whatever because it sounds like the last Asian extra that never did appear again; this is reality-killing.
Ah, well.
