Reinhold Heil, Johnny Klimek and Tom Tykwer have recently written and recorded music for the director’s upcoming sci-fi feature Cloud Atlas. The movie written and co-directed by Andy & Lana Wachowski and Tykwer stars Tom Hanks, Jim Sturgess, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, Keith David, Ben Whishaw and Jim Broadbent. The film based on the novel by David Mitchell intertwines six stories spanning different times that sees one character shaped from a murderer to a savior. Stefan Arndt (Run Lola Run) and Philip Lee are producing with Tykwer and the Wachowskis. Heil and Klimek have been collaborating with Tykwer on the music for most of the director’s previous features, most recently on the Clive Owen- and Naomi Watts-starring thriller The International and the German language film 3. The composers have already recorded some music with a German orchestra during pre-production of Cloud Atlas, which is currently being shot in Germany, Scotland and Spain. The team is set to continue to work on the music for the project next year when the movie is in post-production. No release date has been announced yet, but the film is expected to premiere in the US in late 2012 by Warner Bros.
The composer duo of Heil and Klimek has also signed on to score the highly anticipated NBC drama Awake. The show stars Jason Isaacs as a detective, who wakes up after an accident to find he is living in two different realities, one in which he has killed his son and one in which he has killed his wife. Laura Allen, Cherry Jones, Dylan Minette, Wilmer Valderrama and Steve Harris are co-starring in the series created by Kyle Killen (The Beaver, Lone Star). Awake is set to premiere as a mid-season replacement in early 2012. For updates on the project, visit NBC’s official show website.
