Stephen Warbeck is scoring the upcoming psychological thriller Keeping Rosy. The film marks the directorial feature debut of commercials director Steve Reeves and stars Maxine Peake, Blake Harrison and Christine Bottomley. The movie follows a female advertising executive whose life disintegrates after a series of unfortunate events. Reeves has co-written the screenplay with Mike Oughton. Richard Holmes (Waking Ned Devine, Eden Lake, Resistance) and Isabelle Georgeaux are producing the Air Productions and Redemption Films production. Warbeck has previously scored the British comedy Jadoo for the producers. Keeping Rosy is currently in post-production and is expected to be released in 2014.
The Academy Award-winning composer of such films as Shakespeare in Love, Quills and Billy Elliot also has the French comedy La marche coming up. The film is directed by Nabil Ben Yadir and stars Jamel Debbouze, Olivier Gourmet, Lubna Azabal and Hafsia Herzi. The movie is inspired by the events during the “Marche des Beurs” that swept through France in December 1983 to protest against inequality and discrimination in the country. Hugo Selignac (Blood Ties) is producing the Chi Fou Mi and EuropaCorp production. The comedy is set to be released later this fall in France.
