Paul Leonard-Morgan revealed on Twitter that he is currently scoring the pilot of The CW reboot of Dynasty. The show is created by Josh Schwartz (The O.C., Chuck, Gossip Girl), Stephanie Savage (Endless Love, Heart of Dixie) & Sallie Patrick and stars Nathalie Kelley, Elizabeth Gillies, Alan Dale, Sam Adegoke, Rob Riley and Grant Show. The series is based on the classic 80s series of the same title and follows two of America’s wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children. Schwartz, Savage & Patrick are also executive producing the Fake Empire and CBS Television production with original Dynasty creators Esther and Richard Shapiro. Brad Silberling (Casper, A Series of Unfortunate Events) is directing the pilot episode. Leonard-Morgan (Dredd, Walking with Dinosaurs 3D) has previously scored CBS Television’s Limitless, for which he received an Emmy Award nomination. The CW is expected to decide next month whether the project will be picked up to series.
Leonard-Morgan’s recent projects also include the video game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, which was released last month, as well as Errol Morris’ documentary The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman’s Portrait Photography, which premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival and will be released in U.S. theaters on June 2, 2017 by Neon.
