Eureka - Death and Taxes: Bear McCreary Interview

DEATH AND TAXES: ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and ‘The Walking Dead’ composer Bear McCreary would love to be an astrophysicist


By Andrew Belonsky
January 11, 2012


Arguably one of the best components of SyFy’s “Battlestar Galactica” series was Bear McCreary’s music. It is an incredible amalgamation of influences, beats and melody that perfectly fit the show’s out-of-the-box outer-space drama.

“It was not just another space sci-fi show,” McCreary told me in a recent interview. “What we were working on at that time was something extraordinary.”

Now that “Battlestar” is long over and done, McCreary’s busy scoring AMC’s “The Walking Dead” and another SyFy series, “Eureka.”

Here the 32-year old discusses his aural influences, his favorite film scores of all time, the process of making television scores and why he has trouble watching movies...


... Belonsky: What is your process? Do you receive the scripts before and read them and then think, “Okay, well the cast of ‘The Walking Dead’ is escaping from the CDC, which is exploding,” or do you watch the footage? How does that work?

McCreary: "Well I definitely read the scripts, but most of the time I do that just to get a basic idea of what we’re going to be doing, because most of the time I find that you don’t really know what a scene needs until you see it. It can look fine on paper and when you finally watch it cut together, you might realize it needs something else. Or, as is frequently the case, through the process of casting, acting, directing, lighting, editing, cinematography, the scene can take on an entirely different character, so I find that a script is a fantastic tool for envisioning what the story is going to be, but in fact is a pretty useless device when it comes to figuring out what the music is going to be.

You’ve just got to wait until you see the cut. When I watch the cut, I am able to tell very quickly what the music needs to be and the ideas come much quicker, so most of the time I wait to think about music in a practical manner until I have a cut of the show in front of me..."


Eureka season five premieres on Syfy in 2012.

STARPULSE: Q&A: Sam Witwer Back For More 'Being Human'


January 11th, 2012
By: Brittany Frederick


You've got to keep your eye on Sam Witwer.

As the vampire Aidan on SyFy's Being Human, he could take a bite out of you if he wanted. But offscreen, the Battlestar Galactica veteran's wit as is sharp as his alter-ego's fangs. He's also a man of multiple talents, not only an actor but a musician.

As Being Human starts its second season on January 16, Sam sat down with me to discuss what's next for his character, what he's up to when the cameras aren't rolling, and if being a sci-fi success also allows him to be a fanboy...



... "It's interesting," he said of coming back for a sophomore run. "We all arrived back, and me and Sammy [Sam Huntington] and Meghan [Rath] were all questioning whether we knew the characters or not - 'Am I doing it right?' Now that we've seen a bunch of the episodes, I think we settled right in. I think we underestimated [ourselves]."

"The thing I always enjoy the most is working with Sam and Meghan," he added. "Whenever the three characters are together, I think we're at our best..."


Being Human season two premieres Monday, January 16, 2012 at 9/8C on Syfy.

WINDY CITY TIMES: Colin Morgan weaves magic on 'Merlin'


by Jerry Nunn
2012-01-11


Irish actor Colin Morgan plays the title character in the BBC production of Merlin, now airing on the Syfy Network. This make[s] the fourth season for the show that spotlights the relationship between the wizard and King Arthur. This series updates the dramatic Camelot for a whole new generation.

Windy City Times went overseas to talk to the magic man...



... WCT: I have heard talk of Arthur and Merlin being gay icons. What is your feeling on Brokeback Camelot?

Colin Morgan: "I keep myself pretty separate from it, to be honest. I'm not a big Internet user. I don't do blogs or Facebook or Twitter or anything like that. The only thing I have is an email account.

But if you're looking for anything in any show in any form you can find it. It's certainly something we stick very clearly to the scripts and play them for what they are. And there's certainly no kind of like overtone or pretext that we're trying to show."

WCT: It has definitely helped with viewers, such as on Xena. So are there any love interests for Merlin this season?

Colin Morgan: "Sorry to disappoint, but there are no love interests this season for Merlin. It's not something the writers have explored..."


Merlin season four airs Friday at 10/9C on Syfy.
