2023: October 08: New project: THE
KILLER
Marco Beltrami is currently
scoring John Woo's reimagining of his own
1989 action thriller THE
KILLER for Universal Pictures (their second project together after upcoming
SILENT NIGHT). The plot details are currently unknown as
the film switches the gender of the main protagonists. THE KILLER
stars Nathalie Emmanuel and Omar Sy. Here is the quote from interview
with the film's producer Charles Roven published by The Hollywood Reporter
who also summarized the current state
of the production, which was originally expected to be released by Peacock by the
end of this year. More details will be added as soon as available.
"I was
also shooting a wonderful movie in Paris. John Woo is remaking
his own movie, The Killer, which was one of his seminal Hong
Kong movies that he made in 1989. So we had to shut that down
because we lost all of our SAG actors, and of course, we
honored that. We’ve got somewhere between 10 and 18 days left,
so that was obviously very disappointing.
In the original Killer, the
great Chinese male actor Chow Yun-fat played the killer, but
the killer in this movie is played by Nathalie Emmanuel. And
by changing the dynamic to a woman, the storyline became quite
different. So, while it’s an homage to his movie, it’s
definitely not a remake. There’s a lot of original content in
it that’s different from the first
movie."
2024: April 24: New 10-movement concert work
with 10 composers
Marco Beltrami is one of ten composers
contributing a movement for upcoming concert tribute
to Bob Peak - PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION. Here is an
excerpt from the announcement from Robert Townson: "I
have countless favorite classical pieces, but one of my
favorites has always been Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an
Exhibition. But much as I loved Mussorgsky’s original piece,
my idea was to create a new Pictures at an Exhibition for a
new age. To have all new music composed and have the
inspiration for all the new music be the paintings of Bob
Peak. Not his film paintings. They already have music attached
to them. His other artwork. He did almost everything. New York
World’s Fair 1964, 100th Anniversary of New York’s Brooklyn
Bridge, he painted portraits of Mother Teresa, John Kennedy,
Anwar Sadat, The Band that were featured on 45 different Time
Magazine covers! He did paintings for The Olympics and the
Special Olympics. For the United Nations and for the Academy
of Motion Pictures arts and Sciences. He painted cars, and
beautiful women and couples, and the American West. He did so
much work, it could inspire 50 different versions of Pictures
at an Exhibition. For 25 years it was a dream." The
other composers involved are: Michael Abels, Jeff Beal, Bill
Conti, Mychael Danna, Ihab Darwish, Don Davis, Harry
Gregson-Williams, Maria Newman and Marc Shaiman. Leonard
Slatkin will conduct the world premiere on June 14th. For more
