Dario Marianelli is currently scoring the upcoming drama A Long Way Down. The film based on the novel by Nick Hornby (About a Boy, High Fidelity) marks the English language directing debut of French filmmaker Pascal Chaumeil. Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Aaron Paul, Rosamund Pike, Sam Neill and Imogen Poots are starring in the movie, which follows four strangers who meet on New Year’s Eve on the top of a London skyscraper, who each had intended to jump off but make a pact to stay alive and help each other. Jack Thorne adapted the material for the screen. Finola Dwyer (An Education) and Amanda Posey (Fever Pitch) are producing the project for Wildgaze Films. Marianelli has previously collaborated with both producers on last year’s Quartet directed by Dustin Hoffman and starring Maggie Smith. Chaumeil’s last two movies Heartbreaker and Un plan parfait featured music by Klaus Badelt. A Long Way Down is currently in post-production. No word yet on a premiere date.
As previously reported, Marianelli has also scored the thriller Redemption (aka Hummingbird) directed by Steven Knight and starring Jason Statham. It has recently been announced that Roadside Attractions will release the film in the US on June 28, 2013. Check out the film’s first trailer below and visit the official movie website for updates.
