Dickon Hinchliffe (Winter’s Bone, The Lost Daughter, Locke, Out of the Furnace, Leave No Trace, Last Chance Harvey) has composed the original music for the upcoming historical dramatic psychological thriller Firebrand. The film is directed by Karim Aïnouz (Invisible Life, Madame Satã) and stars Alicia Vikander, Jude Law, Erin Doherty, Sam Riley, Eddie Marsan, Patsy Ferran, Junia Rees, Ruby Bentall, Bryony Hannah and Maia Jemmett. The movie explores how Katherine Parr, the last of King Henry VIII’s six wives, endured her union with the monstrous monarch and kept her head in the 16th Century. Jessica & Henrietta Ashworth (Killing Eve, Tell It to the Bees) wrote the screenplay. Gabrielle Tana (Philomena, Thirteen Lives) is producing the project for Brouhaha Entertainment. Firebrand will premiere this month at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Hinchliffe’s other recent projects include Sonja Heiss’ When Will It Be Again Like It Never Was Before, which premiered at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival and opened in German theaters earlier this year. No word yet on a domestic distribution deal.
