Paul Leonard-Morgan has been hired to score the upcoming documentary The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman’s Portrait Photography. The film is directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris (The Fog of War, The Unknown Known, The Thin Blue Line, Standard Operating Procedure) and profiles legendary photographer Elsa Dorfman, whose subjects have included such friends as Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, and Jonathan Richman. Steven Hathaway is producing the project and Robert Fernandez (Austenland) & Julia Sheehan serve as executive producers on the Fourth Floor and Moxie Pictures production. The B-Side will premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Leonard-Morgan’s recent projects also include the CBS series Limitless, for which he received an Emmy Award nomination. The composer who also scored the Limitless feature and other movies such as Dredd, Walking with Dinosaurs 3D and The Numbers Station also has the video game Dawn of War III coming up.
So, in addition to the new Tim Burton movie, we can also add the new Errol Morris movie to the list of projects that Elfman isn’t scoring.
I’m pretty damned depressed, here.
Yes. Isn’t it sad when creative people won’t stick to formulas?
If you’ve heard “The Unknown Known” or “Standard Operating Procedure”, you’d be feeling the same way.
I have and I think you are missing my point.
Somebody probably said the same thing about Philip Glass, but Elfman was accepted nontheless.
