Trevor Morris is scoring the upcoming Syfy mini-series Ascension. The show is created and written by Philip Levens (Smallville) and stars Brian P. Bell, Brian Van Holt, Tricia Helfer, Andrea Roth, Tiffany Lonsdale, Ryan Robbins, Jacqueline Byers, P.J. Boudousqué and Gil Bellows. The sci-fi drama follows a covert U.S. space mission launched in the 1960’s that sent hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. Half way into their journey, the mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship’s population to question the true nature of their mission. Levens is also executive producing the Universal Cable and Lionsgate Television production with Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Mark Stern (The Outer Limits), Ivan Fecan, Tim Gamble and Brett Burlock. Ascension is set to premiere on December 15, 2014 on Syfy. For updates on the series, visit the official show website.
Morris also continues the score The CW’s Reign, which currently is in second season, and History’s Vikings, which will return for a third season in 2015. The composer’s upcoming projects also include the feature Admiral directed by Roel Reine and starring Barry Atsma, Charles Dance, Derek de Lint, Filip Peeters, Frank Lammers and Rutger Hauer. The movie tells the story of Michiel De Ruyter, a 17th century Dutch admiral who must lead the Dutch fleet to defend his homeland from the terrorizing forces of England. A release in 2015 is expected.
