Frequency (2000)
Science fiction time travelling drama starring Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel as a father and son communicating through time over radio waves.
Composer, Orchestrator, Conductor, Score Co-Producer
Michael wrote a nearly wall-to-wall score and was called back for revisions a few weeks after the initial sessions had ended. He had to revise about one quarter of his score, along with recording multiple fixes and wild cues. Two of the major action sequences, the rescue scene at the beginning and the chase with the nightingale killer near the end of the movie, were scored by Michael (the latter even twice!) but largely dropped and replaced with additional music by J. Peter Robinson.
