Last week, Debbie Wiseman (Wilde, Wolf Hall, Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Vampire Killers) has recorded her score for the upcoming British biographical drama To Olivia (aka An Unquiet Life). The film is directed by John Hay (There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble) and stars Keeley Hawes as American actress Patricia Neal, Hugh Bonneville as her husband, the British children’s author Roald Dahl, as well as Sam Heughan as screen icon Paul Newman. The movie is set between New York, England and Los Angeles at the beginning of the 1960s, and focuses on Dahl’s struggles to write some of his most famous works and Neal’s return to acting with Hud, for which she finally won an Oscar. Hay also co-wrote the screenplay with David Logan (Circus) based on a novel by Stephen Michael Shearer.Ronall McCusker is producing the Align, Goldcrest Features and Atticus Films production with Adrian Politowski and Nick Quested. Wiseman has previously collaborated with Hay on his last several features, including Lost Christmas and The Truth About Love. To Olivia is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere later this year.
Wiseman also continues to score BBC’s Father Brown, which has been renewed for a ninth season to air next year, as well as Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators, which will return for a fourth season in 2021.
