February 05, 2014: three new projects announced and new interview
In recent interview for Goose Talk Patrick Doyle discussed not only his lengthy collaboration with Sir Kenneth Branagh including their latest project JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT but also offers a few hints regarding his upcoming plans: "I’m working with Mike Newell at the moment for the fourth time and he says I’m a complete romantic, because the first place I turn towards is the string section. They are also essential for giving you drive and energy and are “the backbone of the orchestra”, as I was taught at school. Everything completely revolves around them in many ways."  So far there is actually no news about any new Mike Newell projects besides recently announced remake of The Day of the Triffids, Newell will be directing for Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures. Hopefully more information regarding this "mysterious" project will be revealed soon.
In the meantime Film Music Reporter announced two new interesting projects Patrick Doyle will be working on next. The first is upcoming Dreamworks animation's B.O.O.: BUREAU OF OTHERWORLDLY OPERATIONS, which follows two bumbling apparitions who find themselves in an extraordinary after-life adventure when they join the Bureau of Otherworldly Operations (B.O.O.), the ghost world’s elite counter-haunting unit. The movie is directed by Tony Leondis and will be released on June 5th, 2015.
The other one is BBC Earth Films' upcoming ENCHANTED KINGDOM 3D, which is directed by Patrick Morris and Neil Nightingale and provides a never-before-seen perspective of the African continent using groundbreaking new 3D technology. Patrick Doyle is currently working on his score. So far there is no release date set, but it is expected later this year.
