Randy Newman, who worked on the Musical Score for Leatherheads, had this to say about working with George.
It’s a gratifying sideline with one glaring downside: “You have a boss. When he likes what you do, you’re a little puppy dog, and then the next day, you think he’s an idiot again.”
When scoring this year’s Leatherheads, Newman butted heads with director George Clooney. “I wanted to put strings over a shot of Renée Zellweger standing in a doorway,” he says. “It would have glamorized her, but Clooney had never directed a picture with a traditional score, and he was not comfortable with it. New directors somehow think it’s cheating to use music, as if they didn’t shoot the scene well.”
