Laurent Eyquem is currently scoring the upcoming documentary mini-series 14 Diaries of the Great War. The docudrama tells the story of World War I through the eyes of those who lived through it from opposite sides of the conflict. 14 stories from seven different countries have been selected from more than 1,000 accounts contained in diaries and letters, including the story of a German soldier, a French child and a British lady who volunteered as a war nurse. Jan Peter is directing the series and Florian Dedio & Elisabeth Kiledjian are producing the project with Gunnar Dedio, Serge Lalou & Paul Cadieux executive producing. 14 Diaries of the Great War is set to premiere in time for the centenary of the outbreak of WWI in 2014 and will air internationally on BBC, ARTE France, Arte Germany, RAI and more than 40 other countries.
Eyquem who was recently nominated for a World Soundtrack Award in the Discovery of the Year category also has the action thriller Tokarev starring Nicolas Cage, Rachel Nicholas, Peter Stormare and Danny Glover coming up. The film is currently in post-production and is set to be released in 2014. Among the composer’s other upcoming projects are Momentum starring Olga Kurylenko & Vincent Cassel and the drama Where the Road Runs Out.
