H. Scott Salinas is reteaming with director Matthew Heineman on the upcoming biographical drama A Private War. The film starring Rosamund Pike, Jamie Dornan, Stanley Tucci and Tom Hollander chronicles the life of the late American-born British war reporter Marie Colvin. Arash Amel (Grace of Monaco, The Titan) wrote the screenplay based on Marie Brenner’s 2012 Vanity Fair story Marie Colvin’s Private War. Heineman is also producing the project with Matthew George (Wind River) for Acacia Entertainment, alongside Basil Iwanyk (The Town, Sicario) for Thunder Road Pictures, Marissa McMahon for Kamala Films and Charlize Theron (Atomic Blonde) for Denver & Delilah. Salinas has previously collaborated with the director on the documentaries Cartel Land and City of Ghosts, which he co-scored with Jackson Greenberg. The composer’s other previous scoring credits include last year’s features The Ballad of Lefty Brown and Birth of the Dragon, the TNT series Murder in the First and the recent Showtime docu-series The Fourth Estate. A Private War is set to be released in select theaters on November 2, 2018 by Aviron Pictures before expanding nationwide on November 16.
