Lorne Balfe (Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Black Widow, The LEGO Batman Movie, Bad Boys for Life, The Crown) has been hired to score the upcoming biographical drama Tetris. The film is directed by Jon S. Baird (Stan & Ollie, Filth) and stars Taron Egerton as Henk Rogers, a Dutch video game designer who first secured the rights to distribute Tetris on consoles, Nikita Efremov as Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov who first created the game, Roger Allam & Anthony Boyle as businessmen Robert and Kevin Maxwell, as well as Toby Jones. The movie centers on the legal battle that arose over the franchise’s copyright in the 1980s. Noah Pink (Genius, The Show) wrote the screenplay. Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman, Rocketman) is producing the project for Marv Films, alongside Leonard Blavatnik (T-34) for AI Film, Gregor Cameron (Kill Your Friends) for Unigram and Gillian Berrie (Perfect Sense, Outlaw Kings). Balfe has previously scored the Vaughn-produced comedy Silent Night. Tetris is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere this year on Apple TV+.
Balfe’s other upcoming projects include Michael Bay’s Ambulance, Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible 7 & 8, the second season of Amazon’s The Wheel of Time, as well as the third and final season of HBO’s His Dark Materials.
