We all started to have more of a sense of the film. Well, all of the songs organically appeared over time, and as we got further on into the filmmaking process, "Believe" was one of the last things that came about. How did you get Josh Groban for the big song, "Believe"?

So it was a long curve for music, in this particular case.
#VAN HELSING THEME SONG GUITAR MOVIE#
Unlike the normal scoring curve, where basically the film is made and then you get to look at it and react to if after the fact, for this we had to have songs that were written, approved, and rendered in some form, so they could make the movie to them. Like any kind of musical situation, at some point the material has to be ready before shooting - or in this case, motion capturing. We went through that process through the whole making for the film. Talking about ideas of what might be possible song placements that would have some kind of narrative value in the film, and not just be a dropped in song. This was two-and-a-half years ago - we sat with Bob, talking about where he was headed with the story. So when I heard that he was looking for a substantial song involvement in the movie, I immediately called my pal Glenn Ballard, who I had been looking for the right project to team up with - and this seemed like a great one. So the whole thing really began with Bob starting an almost "stream-of-consciousness" expansion of the original Chris Van Allsburg book, and while he was in that process, in a sense, the music had an opportunity to be right there and be part of that.

One of the things about this film was that Bob - when he was exploring the story originally - had talked about the idea of also wanting to explore the possibility of having some songs built into the fabric of the film. Robert Zemeckis has been working on The Polar Express for a few years - at what point did you get involved? We had a chance to catch up with Alan after the holidays, to talk about what he's been up to. Since SoundtrackNet last spoke with composer Alan Silvestri, he's worked on plenty of films, including Lilo & Stitch, Maid in Manhattan, Stuart Little 2, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Van Helsing, and the most recent Robert Zemeckis film, The Polar Express.
