As a fan of Hugh Howey’s books, I’m fairly excited to observe Apple TV+’s live-action adaptation of the hit sci-fi collection Silo, concerning the remnants of humanity who’ve been residing in an underground bunker for thus lengthy they’ve forgotten why they’re there. However Apple has simply revealed the opening credit for the difference, and I couldn’t assist however be aware they appear somewhat… hmm. Simply pay attention—and watch—for your self.
Here’s composer Atli Örvarsson’s opening to Silo:
And now, for comparability, right here’s Westworld, by Sport of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi:
Am I loopy? I don’t suppose I’m loopy. The music sounds a lot alike, from the sinister, more and more frantic piano to that last chord. (Is it in the identical key? I don’t know a lot about music, however it appears very shut if it’s not.) And the visuals, stuffed with languidly shifting snippets meant to be evocative of the collection and its themes give it the identical vibe, even when one’s about robots and the opposite’s about a particularly vertical nuclear bunker.
This isn’t a judgment name! Should you’re going to compose a gap credit music for a dystopian science fiction TV collection, you possibly can do quite a bit worse than being impressed by the opening for the dystopian science fiction TV collection Westworld. However now I’m curious to see how a lot, if in any respect, Silo itself will even attempt to evoke the lately canceled and dumped HBO collection. Provided that the Silo collection was created and run by Graham Yost, who additionally did the identical for the superb albeit non-sci-fi collection Justified, I’m truthfully not significantly fearful about it not being good TV, nevertheless it shakes out.
Silo premieres on Could 5, and stars Rebecca Ferguson, Widespread, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones, and Tim Robbins.
