Caruso’s Taking Lives, the 9/11 documentary Rebirth, the complete score for John Irvin’s Hamburger Hill, a suite from his score for Scott Hick’s No Reservations, two orchestral pieces written for Peter Weir’s The Truman Show, the original complete ending of the piano duet from Park Chan-wook’s Stoker and a new arrangement of Helen’s Theme from Bernard Rose’s Candyman.
