We turned The Dark Knight into a full-on rescore experiment and honestly... it worked way better than it should have. 🎬
We matched songs to scenes like we were building a real soundtrack.
Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Johnny Cash, Massive Attack - all in the mix.
Some scenes felt like they were made for the music.
The wild part? A few choices completely changed how the movie felt.
Would you rather hear a movie re-scored with dark industrial music or classic rock?
