January 02: What to expect in 2019 and new project
announced Happy new year, everyone! 2019 should be
pretty big with 4 scores already recorded and probably a few
more in the works that might still be released before the end
of the year: - EXTREMELY
WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE will have its
world premiere at Sundance Film Festival on January 26th but
it will probably seek the distributor there. No wide release
date has been announced yet. - VELVET BUZZSAW will
also premiere at Sundance only one day
later and on February 1st will be released worldwide by Netflix.
So far there is no information about soundtrack album.
Trailer and poster will be added as soon as available. -

of the scores/movies waiting to be released. The score
was recorded in late June/early July at Pianella Studios and
20th Century Fox was initially supposed to release the
movie. Yet there is still no poster, stills or trailer available
and it is probably up to Disney to release
the movie now. - FLARSKY will be released on June
7th and has been also recorded recently with participation of
Macedonian Symphony Orchestra. No trailer, posters or
stills have been published either and everything
will be added as soon as available. - SNOWPIERCER: THE TV SERIES pilot
for the new series was initially directed
by Scott Derickson who later left the project
when new showrunner was brought in and James Hawes was
hired as the new director. Marco Beltrami will co-score the series with
Dennis Smith. No release date has been announced, but series
is most likely to debut this Fall.
