After 14 long years, 'Incredibles 2' picks up with its family of suburban superheroes
LOS ANGELES - Brad Bird stood in front of a full orchestra on the Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage on the Sony Pictures lot, his leg bouncing to the beat, a big grin on his face.
At a recent scoring session for Pixar Animation Studios' superhero sequel "Incredibles 2," the film's writer-director watched as dozens of musicians brought composer Michael Giacchino's jazzy, '60s-inflected score to life. For a die-hard cinephile like Bird, the hallowed history of this particular scoring stage - which had been used to record the music for films like "The Wizard of Oz," "Gone With the Wind" and "Lawrence of Arabia" not to mention the first "Incredibles" - only added to his delight. "The ghosts in the room are the highest-quality film ghosts you can get," he said.
When "Incredibles 2" arrives in theaters on June 15, the action will pick up immediately
