J. Evans (Dead of the Nite). A production start date in 2017 is expected. (Screen Daily)
Yared’s upcoming projects also include Xavier Dolan’s The Death and Life of John F. Donovan starring Kit Harington, Jessica Chastain and Natalie Portman.
perfect choice ! 🙂
Attached based upon what? All I can find is the mention on the IMDb page and IMDb can be edited by anybody who is registered.
I wonder why they just don’t use the music of Bach himself for this score? After all, he was one of the world’s greatest composers and there is a treasure trove of music to pick from. Just sayin’
