Perfect Strangers) who also serves as one of the producers of
the series for Universal International Studios and Heyday
Television.

series centers on the Delaneys, who from the outside appear to
be an enviably contented family. Former tennis coaches Joy
(Bening) and Stan (Neill) are parents to four adult children.
After decades of marriage, they have finally sold their famed
tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the
golden years of their lives. But after Joy disappears, her
children are forced to re-examine their parents’ marriage and
their family history with fresh
eyes.
Filming

2023: October 08: New project: THE
KILLER
Marco Beltrami is currently
scoring John Woo's reimagining of his own 1989 action thriller
THE KILLER for Universal Pictures (their second project
together after upcoming SILENT NIGHT). The plot details
are currently unknown as the film switches the gender of
the main protagonists. THE KILLER stars Nathalie Emmanuel
and Omar Sy. Here is the quote from interview with
the film's producer Charles Roven published by
The
Hollywood Reporter who also summarized the current state
of the production, which was originally expected to be
released by Peacock by the end of this year. More details will
be added as soon as available.
"I was also shooting a wonderful movie in
Paris. John Woo is remaking his own movie, The Killer, which
was one of his seminal Hong Kong movies that he made in 1989.
So we had to shut that down because we lost all of our SAG
actors, and of course, we honored that. We’ve got somewhere
between 10 and 18 days left, so that was obviously very
disappointing. In the original Killer, the great Chinese
male actor Chow Yun-fat played the killer, but the killer in
this movie is played by Nathalie Emmanuel. And by changing the
dynamic to a woman, the storyline became quite different. So,
while it’s an homage to his movie, it’s definitely not a
remake. There’s a lot of original content in it that’s
different from the first movie."

2023: June 21:
WORLD WAR Z 10th Anniversary Marco Beltrami celebrated
10th anniversary of WORLD WAR Z release by sharing one of his
earlier attempts at Jerusalem sequence, which is quite
different from the version heard in the finished film. Marco
wrote:
"There are always conceptual
ideas that you work through that never quite make it into the
movie. This cue is one such. I had a blast hanging with Joe at
my studio and coming up with this piece alongside Buck
Sanders. This track also features the fantastic Lili Haydn on
electric violin and vocals. Ultimately the score in the film
is more orchestral so its understandable why this wasn’t used.
Even so, it was really fun writing and putting this
together." Check Marco's
instagram page to listen to this unique track and make sure to
follow if you haven't already.

In the meantime here is the press announcement:
Premier 2-CD release of sizzling Marco
Beltrami sci-fi horror score! Dimension Films presents in
1998, Robert Rodriguez directs, Kevin Williamson scripts,
attractive cast features Jordana Brewster, Josh Hartnett,
Elijah Wood, Clea DuVall, Robert Patrick, Piper Laurie, Shawn
Hatosy, Salma Hayek, many others. The students at Herrington
High School are rowdy crop, tough on each other and their
teachers. Then without fanfare, they become targets of an
alien virus that turns people into monsters. And unfriendly
ones at that. Mayhem ensues. Beltrami was already a veteran of
the horror genre, having scored dynamic music for Scream and
Mimic for the same studio prior to The Faculty. For this
intense and violent thriller, Beltrami scores for full
orchestra in a dazzling display of aggressive action music
requiring the players to provide numerous techniques with
their instruments, from entrances at different times and
pitches to uncommon bowing techniques, horn glissandi, detuned
instruments and numerous other devices. Rhythms are fierce,
the harmonic vernacular frightening. In balance, Beltrami also
offers undercurrents of music oblivious to the alien invasion,
a musical calm before the storm. Action highlights are many:
“Offensive Coach” provides more than three minutes of riveting
intensity, “Pop Pop Fizz Fizz” offers berserk orchestral fury,
“Just Say No” builds to a dynamic rhythmic finish, “Standing
Tall” is pure drama and action, “Zeke And The Geek” offers
orchestral razzle dazzle, many others follow suit. “Love Me
Tender” is especially exciting! Ditto “Modest Mary” and “Drugs
Kill”. On the opposite side, Beltrami offers a strong theme
for Casey and another for the student body as a whole. Special
spotlight goes to “Lounge Lizards”, where Beltrami opens with
his haunting minor key idea for Casey, slides into the broader
student body theme, then works the music inexorably into
musical chaos and action. When all is said and done, “The Kids
Are Alright” ushers in the remaining student body to a rich
development of their theme, leading to the closing powerhouse
rhythmic treatment of the tune for “Extra Credit”. Two
following cues offer an alternate version of “Casey” and
Beltrami’s demo version of “Too Cool For School”. This scores
packs fireworks! Tim Greiving provides informative booklet
notes, Kay Marshall designs the dramatic packaging. John
Kurlander records and mixes at Skywalker Sound in October and
November 1998, William Boston, Peter Anthony, Robert Elhai,
Jon Kull, Kevin Manthei orchestrate, Marco Beltrami composes,
conducts the Hollywood Studio Orchestra. Intrada Special
Collection 2-CD set available while quantities and interest
remain!

(Awkwafina).

(Walking Dead) and screenplay by Ryan Ridley (Community, Rick
and Morty), RENFIELD also stars Ben Schwartz, Shohreh
Aghdashloo and Caroline Williams. McKay and Kirman are also
