Composer Lorne Balfe (Mission: Impossible – Fallout, The LEGO Batman Movie, The Crown, Bad Boys for Life) is reuniting with director Matt Tyrnauer on the upcoming Showtime docu-series The Reagans. The show focuses on the rise and reign of America’s ultimate power couple. The 4-part series explores the many surprisingly unexamined aspects of the Reagan White House, and how Nancy Reagan’s paper-doll image was at odds with the power she ultimately wielded throughout her husband’s presidency. Tyrnauer is also executive producing the project with Corey Reeser and Stephen J. Morrison.

Lorne Balfe to Score ‘Studio 54’ Documentary
Lorne Balfe has been tapped to score the upcoming documentary Studio 54. The film is directed by Matt Tyrnauer (Citizen Jane: Battle for the City) and centers on on the pulsating epicenter of 1970s hedonism: a disco hothouse of beautiful people, drugs, and sex. The movie follows club owners Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell – two best friends from Brooklyn who conquered New York City – as they frame this history of the “greatest club of all time.” Tyrnauer is also producing the project with John Battsek (Searching for Sugar Man, How I Live Now, Restrepo) and Corey Reeser.
