Commenting on his score for “Free Guy,” Beck said, “I jumped at the chance to work with Shawn Levy again; he is so energetic and a wonderful collaborator. The first feature we worked on together was “Big Fat Liar,” and we have worked together on several projects since.”
Beck continued, “In crafting the sound of “Free Guy” Shawn and I decided that the score’s primary role would be to focus on Ryan Reynolds’ character Guy, and his journey. At the start of the film, Guy is getting ready for the day to work at a bank which is repeatedly held up. He doesn’t realize he’s a background character in a video game. He’s very childlike, and the music functions to underscore his attitude to life, with bucolic, up-tempo sounds, to convey his sense of hopefulness and a naïve love of life. That music repeats, and then evolves to reflect his changes in outlook and circumstances, and his gradual awakening to knowing there’s more to life than being held up 12 times a day.”
On crafting the love theme Beck added, “The use of electronics in the score is a nod to the fact we are inside a video game. As Guy awakens to this other reality, the musical themes get bigger, the orchestra expands, and the music gets more dramatic. The catalyst for Guy’s awakening is his relationship with Jodie Comer’s character Millie. Shawn and I knew we needed a love theme. The electronic score elements transcend when violins come in and it becomes a sweeping love theme in the grand tradition of cinematic love themes; as that relationship develops, so too does that theme grow and blossom.”
