Clint Mansell: Last News

EXCLUSIVE: Horror legend Dario Argento (Suspiria) is joining Charlotte Colbert’s debut feature She Will as an executive producer.

Fortress Talent Management, a leading agency for composers and music supervisors, has promoted Jake Kozarec to partner.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter When Darren Aronofsky brought his debut feature “Pi” to Sundance Film Festival in 1998, he negotiated for the rights to eventually revert back to himself. Now, 25 years later as the owner of the numbers-inspired psychological thriller, he’s sold the film to A24. As part of the acqusition, A24 has remastered “Pi” (stylized as π) and plans to release the film in theaters and on digital platforms this year. The 8K and Atmos restoration version will play on the big screen on Pi Day, which is March 14, to commemorate its 25th anniversary. “25 years ago, when we were just kids at Sundance, I was inspired by my hero Jim Jarmusch to fight for the rights of the film to return to the filmmakers,” Aronofsky said. “It took almost a quarter of a century, but time flies. In anticipation of this moment, we went back to the original black and white reversal 16mm film and scanned it at 8K. We also turned our original stereo mix into an Atmos experience. Everyone thought we were a little crazy but the film has never looked or sounded better. I am excited to team up with A24 and release this on Pi Day in Imax. I look forward to seeing everyone back in the theater soon.”  

There are few things more disappointing when it comes to film than all the elements that should make something a genuinely interesting piece of work don’t fulfill the promise they present. “Sharper” is, unfortunately, a good example.  READ MORE: The 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2023 The New York-set neo-noir thriller is very much a character-driven piece and boasts an incredible ensemble cast led by Julianne Moore.

EXCLUSIVE: Rocket Science is launching world sales ahead of the Cannes market on under-the-radar UK psychological thriller She Will, the debut film from UK artist and filmmaker Charlotte Colbert with an original score from Black Swan and Requiem For A Dream composer Clint Mansell.

Chris Willman Music WriterIsobel Waller-Bridge, whose film and TV work includes the scores for “Fleabag,” “Emma” and Netflix’s upcoming “Munich,” has signed a deal with Decca Publishing, the four-year-old publishing company that specializes in handling the catalogs of outside-the-box composers like Max Richter and Clint Mansell.Waller-Bridge also recently signed with the Mercury KX label with the intention of putting out an EP this year and a full album next year.

An ominous score by Clint Mansell mixing electronic dread with insidious melody toils in search of a more coherent horror scenario in Ben Wheatley's disorienting slog, In the Earth. Whether it's a palate cleanser after the constricting labor of Netflix's Rebecca remake or simply a work of creative restlessness cooked up by a resourceful director who honed his skills making more with less, this hallucinogenic fairy tale set during the third wave of a global pandemic and shot under COVID-19 guidelines becomes progressively less interesting after its intriguing start.

Before the trailer for “Inception” introduced the world to the bassy, brassy “braaaams” that dominated movie trailers for years, there was one song that could be heard in virtually every movie trailer of the early ’00s, Clint Mansell‘s “Lux Aeterna.” Now, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Darren Aronofsky‘s gut-punching “Requiem for a Dream,” Lionsgate has released a new recording of the iconic song.
