interview

2020: December 20: AMERICAN NIGHT
Marco Beltrami recently completed
original score for AMERICAN NIGHT, a neo-noir set in the New
York City's corrupt contemporary art world. Michael Rubino
(Emile Hirsch) has just become the Don of the New York Mafia,
but his greatest dream is to devote his life to painting and
become a great artist. John Kaplan (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), an
art dealer, may feel like his life is in shambles, but he
still has the best eye for spotting fakes in the world. Their
paths, apparently distant, cross when Andy Warhol’s Pink
Marilyn is stolen, setting off a series of unexpected events
that upend their lives...
AMERICAN NIGHT is directed by Alessio Jim
Della Valle, who also wrote original screenplay, and
also stars Paz Vega, Jeremy Piven, Michael Madsen and pop
singer Anastacia, who is contributing original song for the
movie.
Ceiri Torjussen provided additional music for the project.
AMERICAN NIGHT is produced by Martha
Capello, Ilaria Dello Iacono,
and
Giorgio Ferrero, in association with Giovanni Cova and with Viris,
in collaboration with Tiziana Rocca. The movie will
have its world premiere in Italy on March 4th, 2021.
So far there are no information regarding international release
dates.

2020: AUGUST
29: SHADOWS IN MY
EYES
Marco Beltrami has started working
on upcoming Danish WWII drama
SKYGGEN I MIT OJE (SHADOWS IN MY EYES) for director Ole Bornedal.
The movie marks the 6th collaboration of the two following
NIGHTWATCH (additional music), DEEP WATER, I AM DINA, THE SUBSTITUTE and 1864. Bornedal wrote
his own screenplay based on true events from March 21st, 1945 when
the British Royal Air Force was tasked with bombing
the Shellhus; used as the Gestapo headquarters
in the centre of Copenhagen.
The raid had unexpected consequences, as some of
the bombers accidentally targeted the local French school and more than 120 innocent
civilians were killed, 86 of whom were children.
As a result of the British victory, the Shellhus
was entirely destroyed, 18 prisoners were freed and Nazi anti-resistance activities were
disrupted. In a press release published by Miso
Film, the director explained: “Shadows in My Eyes is about
children. It’s seen through the eyes of children, from that
perspective, and with the sense of wonder with which children
must observe a grotesque world around them. It’s the story of
innocence versus machines, of the child who falls victim to
the horrors of coincidence.” The movie was filmed largely in
Czech Republic at the end of 2019 and in early 2020 (with some
additional filming still required) and is currently scheduled
for January 6th, 2022 release in Denmark by SF
Studios. International distribution will be handled by Netflx
with specific release date yet to be
announced.
