while that sounds like a lot , it amounted to just eight minutes of film time . ? hubble 3d ? makes up for the limitations of filming at hubble last year by using older imax footage shot by astronauts on previous missions to hubble that has been converted to 3d .
in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the hubble telescope , hubble will be released in select imax and imax 3d theatres starting april 20 , 2015 .

using a specially - modified 3d camera , atlantis astronauts filmed their delicate repair of the hubble telescope . this is how they did it
myers first used such a camera for her 2002 imax film called
space station 3d .
water bags were stuffed into the camera to help protect the interior film from damage due to space radiation .
a decade ago we made a film that briefly touched on the subject of hubble , but back then its first images were just coming in ,
said imax producer and director toni myers of her 1994 imax film
destiny in space .
today , we have hubble ' s entire phenomenal legacy of data to explore . with imax 3d , we can transport people to galaxies that are literally 13 billion light years away . real star travel is here at last .
the result is a hubble space telescope that is more powerful than ever . the telescope first launched in april 1990 and turns 20 years old next month . when hubble first lifted off , a flaw in its optics threatened to doom the telescope to the annals of space gaffs .
the astronauts also had canon high - definition cameras which they were able to use while working inside atlantis to add to the exterior hubble shots . the result was a wealth of video , much more than could be squeezed into the limited run time of ? hubble 3d . ?
prepare to be surprised , delighted , and most of all , excited for the upcoming wonder woman film .
i ' ve been to two launches , apollo 11 and apollo 12 , and hubble 3d is the first film i ' ve seen - - and felt - - that does more than hint at the skeleton - rattling power of those stupendous rockets .
the hubble space telescope has long been an icon of astronomy ? with $ 10 billion spent over two decades to keep it peering deep into the cosmos . now a new imax film is taking that space icon and turning it into a 3d star .
hubble provides a vivid , breathtaking look at our solar system like never before . and it leaves us pondering not just science , but faith .
the film ' s goal is to make viewers feel as though they are voyaging through the cosmos , seeing through hubble’s eyes , and peering over the shoulders of astronauts as they work on the telescope – providing an intimacy and immediacy beyond the reach of static images .
a wonderful film for anyone who still has a passion for watching the skies and wondering what ' s out there .

the new film includes some footage shot by atlantis astronauts using a camera mounted in the shuttle ? s payload bay . the astronauts had nearly 1 mile ( 1 . 6 km ) of film in the imax camera mounted in atlantis ? cargo bay .
besides being released on vhs , laserdisc , and dvd , in recent years , the film has also been shown on the starz and hbo television channels in the usa , and the film has been aired frequently in europe on the sky movies channels .
the film opens with mad scientist dr . clayton forrester , working from an underground laboratory , explaining the premise of the film ( and associated tv series ) . mike nelson and the robots crow t . robot and tom servo , along with gypsy , are aboard the satellite of love high in earth ' s orbit , when forrester forces them to watch the film this island earth to break their wills ; as per the television show , mike , crow , and tom riff the film as it airs .
seriously , it feels like they might have made this film for around $ 500 , not that that’s necessarily a bad thing .
the documentary is populated by the gorgeous and revealing imagery captured by the hubble telescope over the last quarter of a century . in that brief amount of time , the hubble has answered many of the questions that have long plagued the most ardent astronomy enthusiasts , and inspired new queries that had not previously been considered . the film uses clear and crisp narration to explain complex scientific concepts , and offers precious insight into the origins of the universe and our place within it .

the film is based on data from the goods project , a collaboration between hubble , nasa ' s chandra x - ray observatory and spitzer space telescope , and several ground - based observatories . the observations with the advanced camera for surveys , one of the largest hubble projects ever , provided deep images of a small patch of sky covering about one - third of the projected area of the full moon . that patch contains nearly 30 , 000 galaxies , which were cross - matched against a ground - based redshift survey to get distances for the 3 - d model .
among the work scheduled is the installation of two new instruments , the cosmic origins spectrograph ( cos ) and wide field camera 3 ( wfc3 ) , along with the replacement of one of the hubble ' s three fine guidance sensors and an attempted repair of the advanced camera for surveys , which stopped working in january 2007 . the mission is designed to extend the working life of the hubble through two decades of service .

it ? s a story that almost never happened , since nasa initially canceled the last hubble repair mission , deciding it was too risky in the wake of the 2003 columbia tragedy . that decision was ultimately reversed . then a critical piece on hubble broke just weeks before the mission was slated to launch in the fall of 2008 . nasa delayed the flight again , to may 2009 , so a fix could be added to the flight .

first launched into orbit in april of 1990 , the hubble telescope remains in operation to this day . it ' s captured a series of beautiful and fascinating details which may hold the key to comprehending the mysteries of an evolving galaxy . reaching depths and realms of space never before documented or even imagined , the hubble has enabled top astronomers tremendous insights into the history and functions of solar systems , black holes , exploding stars , planets and even the possibility of inter - galactic life .
, but not to this extent and never this effectively . while the film is conceptually simple , brice and duplass extract a lot from their set - up , hitting their conceit from numerous unique angles , with the film never outstaying its welcome as new and effective ideas are explored as soon as the previous one begins to go stale . maybe it shouldn’t be surprising that
the space telescope science institute ( stsci ) is operated by the association of universities for research in astronomy , inc .

filming an imax 3d feature about nasa ' s last manned mission to repair the hubble space telescope created challenges that even christopher nolan ' s crew never faced on the set of
the dark knight .
using only eight minutes of film , astronauts had to capture the essence of five long spacewalks using a custom - made imax camera as big as a submarine . thankfully , imax director and producer toni myers was there to help .
an excuse to release another 3d movie of astronauts in space , which as always is awesome - it ' s an entertaining way to watch the hubble repair evas . but the movie is too short ; there ' s not enough of the hubble images and their science . the journey through the stars and into the orion nebula showed real promise for 3d as an astronomy outreach tool , but the rest wasn ' t so carefully prepared , making galaxies & nebulae look like layered paper cut - outs .
trying to get it right required a special imax camera that was operated remotely from inside the shuttle . conventional imax 3d cameras capture images from the left and right eye views on two different strips of film , but weight constraints led filmmakers to design a more compact 700 - pound camera that can shoot both left and right views on a single , mile - long strip of film .
? ? hubble 3d ? gives you a real perspective on how our small and fragile planet exists in a volatile and constantly evolving universe , ? dicaprio said in a statement . ? it reveals the beauty and complexity of space and its vast possibilities . ?
a sea change cometh , and we might have the hunger games to thank . jenkins thinks we ' ve never been more ready to receive a film about wonder woman . “things like the hunger games have already made a huge impact and i think they helped open the door for us , ” jenkins said . “it’s finally saying : ‘look , there are people making these things with female leads that doesn’t become a chick’s film ! it becomes a film for both genders ! ’ and so other people have opened the door , but i certainly hope that in the superhero genre this will change things . ”
this is an interesting documentary narrated by leonardo dicaprio . he tells the story of the launch , repair and mission of the hubble telescope which looks into the cosmos . you cannot imagine all the stars in the galaxies . it ' s unbelievable what it has captured .

highly positive critical reception has placed the film in early conversations about a possible best picture oscar nomination - - a field that is doubling in size from the traditional five movies to 10 nominees in next year ' s ceremony . about the only negative notice the movie received from prominent critics came from daily variety , which also minimized the film ' s box office potential .

the 3d imax film , which premiered during the weekend at sxsw , will join its predecessors at 40 imax theaters friday ; a much wider release is slated for august in more than 100 locations . for once , the old cliche is true : this film has to be seen to be believed . if a photo is worth a thousand words , do the math and tell me what an actual photo of 100 billion galaxies is worth .
at its weakest ; whilst the film absolutely nails its jump scares , the post - ending / pre - credits scene designed to make way for sequels , for example , seems contrived and overwhelmingly forced . without this sequence
at the beginning of the film , it was originally planned to have a new version of the
mst3k love theme
by dave alvin , but the song was reduced to an instrumental version over the end credits .
the film , narrated ably by leonardo dicaprio , who seems to share the audience ' s amazement at what is appearing onscreen , is over too quickly in a mere 43 minutes . so line up and see it again .
the movie has been so well received that it recently won the
best short feature
award at the large format cinema association ' s 2004 film festival in los angeles , ca . the hubble movie premiered in april at the maryland science center in baltimore , and is currently also playing at the rueben h . fleet science center in san diego , calif . , and the new detroit science center in detroit , mich . distribution to several dozen other large - format theaters will occur over the coming months and years .
massimino , grunsfeld and their crewmates performed five tricky back - to - back spacewalks during hubble ? s last overhaul . they added a new camera and spectrograph , replaced vital batteries , sensors and other gear , and then successfully repaired two older instruments that were never designed to be fixed in space .
but five repair and upgrade missions later ? including a landmark 1993 mission to fix the optics flaw ? the telescope continues to churn out stunning photos of space . hubble scientists have said the upgrades made by the sts - 125 crew should add another five years onto the space telescope ' s life .
to understand the delay in bringing her to theaters , first we ' ll delve back into the origins of the comic book . when the wonder woman comic came out , it was nothing short of revolutionary . over the years , tv adaptations and potential film scripts have attempted to harness diana ' s initial spirit , to varying degrees of success . given its glowing critical reception , this upcoming film would ' ve delighted wonder woman ' s feminist creator .

nabbed the final major guild award for which it was nominated this past weekend , it will mean another year in which the top film on metacritc does indeed ride its wave all the way to best picture .
birdman
is the third highest - reviewed film , with

the ending was also changed – originally , the film ' s final moments depicted mike and the bots exacting revenge on forrester by hooking up servo ' s interocitor to the video feed from the hexfield viewscreen and sending a metalunan mutant ( played by mst3k prop man and toolmaster jef maynard ) to strangle the mad scientist . at the end , crow goes back to the basement to plan another escape attempt , this time armed with the chainsaw that he found in servo ' s room earlier in the film .
but a final space shuttle mission to the hubble did come off in may , when nasa came up with a contingency plan that featured a second standby shuttle as a rescue vehicle . so imax hitched a ride with mission sts - 125 ; the astronauts , as they did in
space station 3d ,
acted as camera operators .
even with their less than favourable critical reception , and in spite of neither film being particularly successful at the box office , talk of a third instalment has existed for some time , with the most recent rumblings suggesting that a tv series could be on the cards that would explore the brothers mcmanus dishing out their own brand of vigilante justice on a weekly basis . yet according to one of the film ' s stars , norman reedus ( daryl on the walking dead ) , a third movie is definitely in the works .
with domestic ticket sales of more than $ 7 million to date ,
the hurt locker
is hardly a blockbuster , and isn ' t going to help stem the summer ' s plummeting sales , in which box - office returns have been down four straight weeks compared with a year ago . yet bigelow and screenwriter mark boal ' s film is on track to gross $ 15 million or more in its total theatrical run - - an exceptionally strong performance given the film ' s subject matter and its absence of recognizable stars .
after the film , mike , crow , and tom are far from broken , celebrating in various metaluna ways . forrester , furious at his failure , attempts to use his own interocitor to harm mike and the others , but only succeeds in transporting himself into the shower of the metalunan previously seen . mike and the robots briefly celebrate forrester ' s disappearance before they realize they no longer have a way back to earth without him . upon this realization , the crew goes back to the theater to riff on the film ' s ending credits .
? for me , it ? s just increasing our understanding about what ? s out there , ? said astronaut mike massimino , one of hubble ? s last spacewalking repairmen and a veteran of fixing the telescope . ? we ? re just trying to understand these basic questions . there ? s stuff out there and we don ? t know what it is . ?
while meyers could only provide guidance from terra ferma , she worked carefully with shuttle atlantis pilot gregory johnson to turn him into the ideal imax astronaut / auteur during the ninety - minute day - night cycles as the space shuttle orbited earth . this included knowing exactly when to roll film .
the astronauts who flew atlantis ? hubble repair mission said they were just glad the glitch occurred before their flight and not afterward , when they wouldn ? t have a chance to fix it . the sts - 125 crew , commanded by veteran shuttle flyer scott altman , added that seeing their mission replayed in 3d on an expansive imax screen gave them a chance to relive the flight all over again .
the 2009 movie season has been relentlessly tough on difficult dramas . there hasn ' t been a breakout specialized film release anywhere near last year ' s
slumdog millionaire .
and ever since hollywood starting turning out movies about iraq , audiences ( not to mention award voters ) have stayed miles away .
the team , led by dr . frank summers , drew on the artistic talents of greg bacon , zolt levay and lisa frattare , and the science expertise of dr . massimo roberto and dr . jay anderson . together they created the orion nebula model , developed a way to split the carina nebula into layers for 3 - d viewing , and created synthetic star fields from hubble photos , among other feats .
i will never forget exploring the orion nebula ' s star nursery in 3d , or traveling to the end of the hubble ' s universe . never before has 3d felt essential , but it is here . for a fleeting moment the universe is no longer flattened by the spatial limits of pictures . dicaprio does a wonderful job explaining the depth and majesty of our journey . i want more . a lot more .
the film received universal , grovelling praise . metacritic ' s score for the movie underwent a buffer overflow . rotten tomatoes began tithing its readers to present tribute to gravity director and god - king alfonso cuarón . rolling stone movie critic peter travers lamented wasting his life having watched anything else . quentin tarantino killed himself .
but here are the money shots : the telescope ' s new wide field camera and infrared eye can look at - - and shoot - - stars , gas and dust 2 . 5 million light years out . taking those photos and using advanced computer visualization , the film whisks viewers on scientifically realistic flights through time and space .

the hubble servicing mission , nasa ' s fifth since the space telescope was launched in 1990 , is planned as an 11 - day flight . after reaching orbit , the shuttle ' s crew will rendezvous with the observatory on the third day of the flight and using the orbiter ' s mechanical arm , will place the telescope on a work platform in the cargo bay . five separate spacewalks will be needed to accomplish all of the mission ' s objectives .
galaxies are vast assemblages of stars , gas , and dust . and viewers experience these majestic cities of stars on a movie screen as tall as a five - story building . the film opens with looming images of two mature galaxies that are relatively nearby earth , and then pans through the vibrant and diverse panorama of thousands of galaxies in the goods mosaic .
so , why has it taken 76 years for a wonder woman feature film ? patty jenkins , director of the 2017 film , weighed in with her best guess in an interview with cinemablend .
the only thing i can think of is that the genre became synonymous with young men , and so i think there was a concern that they wouldn ' t be as interested in a female lead and it ' s taken years for that to sort itself out . that ' s all it comes down to ,
jenkins said . the critical panning of other women - led superhero films like electra , supergirl , and catwoman certainly didn ' t help wonder woman ' s case . pictured : halle berry in catwoman ( 2004 )
to trim the film ' s duration , gramercy ordered one of the host segments to be cut . in this scene , mike and the bots hide out in the ship ' s storm shelter to avoid a meteor shower . the barrage of meteors threatens to damage the ship ' s oxygen supply , and crow , servo , and gypsy rush to save mike ' s life .
gravity received 125 awards ( really ) , including three central ohio film critics association awards , which is apparently a real thing . the 2013 academy award for best actor was earned by special effects . the award for best floating dead body went to phaldut sharma . clooney received an award for his excellent portrayal of himself . bullock was repeatedly nominated for awards as part of a mean prank .
with apologies to james cameron and other science fiction filmmakers , their journeys to deep space never really leave earth . the imax space team in association with nasa have , in a series of astonishing large - format films , literally traveled to other worlds . their latest effort ,
hubble 3d ,
made with warner bros . and directed by toni myers , not only deposits you in outer space , but for the first time ever makes the old
star trek
gimmick of
warp speed
a reality .
veteran astronaut scott altman will command sts - 125 with navy reserve capt . gregory c . johnson as his pilot . mission specialists john grunsfeld , michael massimino , andrew feustel , michael good and k . megan mcarthur will perform spacewalks and maneuver the shuttle ' s robot arm during the flight . altman , grunsfeld and massimino are making a return visit the hubble : all three were crew members on sts - 109 , the fourth servicing mission , and grunsfeld also served on the prior visit , sts - 103 in 1999 .
we like to think best picture goes to the year ' s most celebrated film , but that ' s hardly the case . in fact , just three of the past 20 winners (
12 years a slave ,

and
lord of the rings : the return of the king
) were the best - reviewed movies of that respective year on metacritic .
the push towards the big screen began in 2001 . producer joel silver was determined to make a wonder woman film , and enlisted the help of screenwriter todd alcott , whose most notable credit up until to date was , of all things , antz . the center of alcott ' s script wasn ' t wonder woman , but a new character entirely : donna troy , wonder woman ' s daughter whose powers are suddenly awakened after wonder woman dies . unsurprisingly , alcott ' s script was criticized for avoiding wonder woman ' s origin story , and for fitting an amalgamation of many different superhero tropes into one made - up character . even sandra bullock , the frontrunner to play donna troy , was lukewarm about the script . she reportedly told the film ' s team they ' d have to rework the plot .

universal re - released the dvd on may 6 , 2008 through their rogue pictures subsidiary . the film is in anamorphic widescreen , and includes an upgraded dolby digital 5 . 1 soundtrack , with english subtitles , a first for an mst3k dvd , and an alternate french language that is noticeably different from the original english one as many of the pop culture references that the show was famous for did not translate well overseas and had to be replaced .
just one adventure in the nineties for jpl , hubble summed up what would be a decade of striking achievements and deeply disappointing setbacks , an era when new opportunities to explore the cosmos collided with the constraints of shrinking budgets . the magellan craft , nicknamed salvage i for recycled parts , barely survived its arrival at venus . galileo , destined for jupiter and at the time the world ' s most sophisticated spacecraft , skirted mission failure when its main communications antenna refused to unfurl . and mars observer , the first mission to the red planet in nearly two decades , would mysteriously disappear just before settling into orbit .
instead of opening
the hurt locker
soon after the toronto festival , summit placed it smack in the middle of the summer , directly opposite
transformers : revenge of the fallen .
the idea was simple : give critics and cineastes who had been knocked senseless by summer ' s mass - appeal onslaught a movie that excited them . as laudatory word - of - mouth built , summit slowly added the film to a few dozen more theaters each week .
the first
hurt locker
trailers noticeably emphasized the characters ' gallantry (
to do this job ,
the trailer ' s type said ,
you have to be brave .
) and the film ' s first round of critical buzz . the sales pitch was directed toward moviegoers older than 25 , with coming attractions previews appearing ahead of
state of play ,
angels & demons
and
public enemies ,
among other adult - oriented dramas .
wonder woman almost got gritty . in 2011 , there was buzz that danish director nicolas winding refn was in talks with warner bros . about making a wonder woman film starring christina hendricks . at 2011 ' s empire big screen convention , refn said ,
i think someone said to me in a meeting that if i get logan’s run right , then i’ll get wonder woman . ” while the director of drive was eventually offered the opportunity to direct wonder woman , he turned it down .
great job doing this documentary , it was really good and i enjoyed every second of it . i felt like a little kid watching this in amazement . i actually saw this on imax dvd quality and it really look and felt great , no need for 3d . the filmmakers who brought you aboard the space station 3d invite you to follow the hubble space telescope on its mission to explore the farthest reaches of the cosmos . follow astronauts up into space as they strive to get the powerful telescope prepared for a fantastic journey of discovery . witness the birth of a star , and experience the awesome power of a supernova in stunning imax 3 - d .
the first wonder woman comic came out in 1941 , but it ' s taken 76 years for the amazonian warrior princess to get her very own live - action film . clearly , wonder woman ' s dc comics compatriots didn ' t have to wait three quarters of a century for their big - screen debuts . i don ' t have enough fingers to count all of the batman , superman , and batman vs . superman films that have been released over the years . at last , it ' s diana prince ' s turn .
even as summit must continue to nurse
the hurt locker
through its slowly expanding theatrical release , it needs to make sure the film is not forgotten four months from now , when academy award voters are swamped with more heavily promoted holiday - season releases , such as clint eastwood ' s nelson mandela biography
invictus
and rob marshall ' s musical
nine .
at the same time , summit can ' t throw multiple millions of dollars into its oscar campaign , as that would eliminate
the hurt locker ' s
profits .
our original imax 3d releases have already put audiences in the driver ' s seat of a nascar racecar and taken them swimming with some of the most exotic undersea creatures on earth , and now we look forward to transporting them to the far reaches of the universe ,
said dan fellman , warner bros . ' domestic distribution president .
warner bros . and imax have collaborated on 20 films over the last four years , and we are excited to share our next endeavor - - the imax 3d space film - - with our audience .
an apt model would be
the visitor ,
another movie that debuted at the toronto festival . released by overture films last april , the immigration love story did steady art - house business throughout the summer , ultimately topping out at $ 9 . 4 million . overture released the film on dvd in early october , the video release coinciding with overture ' s modestly budgeted ( less than $ 2 million ) oscar push . though star richard jenkins didn ' t win an academy award ( he lost to
milk ' s
sean penn ) , he was at least nominated for the lead actor prize .
mark duplass’s latest outing , a co - production with director patrick brice , is a lo - fi , single concept film that expands the found - footage genre , hitting it from a unique angle and injecting a healthy dose of comedy into the mix . 1 creep marks a point of branching out for both duplass and producer jason blum , 2 with the former returning to the realm of experimental horror after a seven year hiatus , 3 and the latter investing in some truly experimental content from a niche creative team . unlike other blumhouse acquisitions , creep is not a surefire hit for the company – mark duplass is not a big name outside of the indie - cinema scene , and it’s unlikely that there’s a huge crossover between fans of his work and the broad output of blumhouse productions . thankfully , it’s an investment that looks like it will pay off ; with an extremely positive critical reception thus far and a strong push from netflix’s marketing team , it looks like creep will find a sizable audience . luckily , the film is deserving of such a reception ; it’s a hilarious , unsettling genre crossover that isn’t quite like anything i’ve seen before , totally straying from the path laid by “mumble - gore” films that have come before it .
what ' s the word ? the word is good , people , the word is good ! early reviews are generally spectacular . once the embargo lifted , critics took to twitter in droves . germain lussier of gizmodo said ,
wonder woman is the dc movie i ' ve been waiting for . it ' s exciting , inspiring , funny , and has some truly awe - inspiring action scenes .
katie erbland of indiewire said ,
wonder woman : easily my favorite dceu film . has the humor and heart the franchise so desperately needs . gadot and pine are charming as hell .
the list goes on and on . maybe wonder woman was worth the wait .
wonder woman ' s first small - screen attempt came in 1967 . william dozier , the creator of the batman show starring adam west , wrote this short film in the hopes of selling warner brothers studios on the idea of a wonder woman comedy series . the show was called who ' s afraid of diana prince ? the trailer is downright cheesy . while wonder woman ( ellie wood walker ) poses in front of the mirror , the narrator condescends ,
wonder woman , who knows she has the strength of hercules . who knows she has the wisdom of athena . who knows she has the speed of mercury . and who thinks thinks she has the speech of aphrodite .
wonder woman was the first feminist superhero . marston had ties to the feminist and birth control movements , long before feminism was a line used to hit on women in bars . when writing wonder woman , he imbued her character and themyscira with his forward - thinking philosophies . as marston succinctly put it , “frankly , wonder woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who , i believe , should rule the world . ” in 1942 , another comic - book writer tried to cap wonder woman ' s feminist fury . diana was written as the secretary for the justice society of america . marston was irate , and demanded full control over his character , which he received . want to know more about marston ? you ' re in luck . a film about marston and his partners , called professor marston & the wonder women , is coming out this year . perfect timing .

the main theme of the show , and the score for season one , was written by the popular doctor who composer murray gold , but for 2015’s season two he was replaced by the equally talented lancashire - born composer paul englishby ( although gold’s main theme , an upbeat renaissance - style dance piece with gruff , chanting voices , was retained ) . englishby intentionally doesn’t reference much of gold’s material in his score , instead building it around a brand new , flashy motif for the heroic musketeers in action . after a being briefly introduced in the opening “musketeers theme” – a flurry of dashing strings and rousing brass fanfares – englishby cleverly inserts the theme into numerous cues thereafter , establishing it as the primary identity of his score .

it is used terrifically in the numerous action sequences , most notably the magnificent and swashbuckling “the ravine sequence , ” “escape foiled , ” “rescue from the guillotine , ” the almost folk - like “saving jeanne , ” the determined - sounding “training the villagers , ” and the high - spirited “series finale” . in fact , the exceptional quality of the action music in the musketeers is the most surprising thing about the score ; englishby’s previous scores , which include small - scale dramas like miss pettigrew lives for a day and an education , and more contemporary jazz - infused pieces like salting the battlefield and turks & caicos , gave no indication as to his prowess for writing stirring , exciting action material , but the muskeeters contains a ton of it , and it’s impressive indeed .

i’m very lucky to have worked in a variety of musical fields . i work in film and television , as well as having written a great many theatre scores for the likes of the royal shakespeare company , royal opera house and in the west end . i play the piano and conduct , and in my early career , worked quite a bit as a musical director and arranger . i love to work in all of these disciplines , that all have their particular challenges and collaborative opportunities . generally in scoring to picture , the music is the last thing to be added , whereas in dance for the stage , the music comes before the choreography . it’s nice to get into a rehearsal situation in theatre productions , as composing can be a solitary pursuit for much of the time . i try to play piano in jazz situations when i can for the same reason .
i think it was around the time that the movie “ an education “ , which i scored , was doing quite well in festivals and getting noticed , and i guess my showreel dropped on the desk of the producer and director of the first block of luther when they were looking for a composer . as is usual in these situations , you go for a meeting with them to see if you all can work together and have a similar idea as to how the music might work within the production .
“luther” deals with some pretty dark themes and material . how did you go about reflecting this in the music ?
i started with a harmonic world , quite simple and dark , which could adapt to introspection , action and brutality . i mixed traditional instrumental textures with electronic sound scapes . i then added live solo instruments , in some cases playing very disturbed textures . i also liked going against the brutality at times and playing some very beautiful elegiac music over violent scenes .
in 2009 you won the ascap award for your film score to “miss pettigrew lives for a day” . did winning this create further success for you down the road ? how did it feel to get recognition for your work ?
the ascap was lovely to get , as they represent the impact a score has in the us . so coming from britain , it meant that my music was being recognised in some way over there . i’ve since had more of my music heard in the states , and i’m really excited to be attending the emmy’s this year .
i was working as a musical director at the national theatre in my late 20s , when i was asked if i would look after the on - set music in the film “ captain corellis mandolin “ , where one of my duties was to give nic cage his regular music lessons , which was great fun . similar story with hugh for a scene in “ about a boy “ . both were great guys , and hugely professional and put the work in , making my job easy . i hilariously recorded a couple of songs with james franco in ireland on “ your highness “ , co wrote songs with jennifer love hewitt for” if only ” – i work a lot with actors in theatre productions , particularly shakespeare’s works , which often have songs in them .
i think for me it is about being fulfilled with the process of making music . i’m not that concerned with what happens to the work after i have left it . a project can be very successful when you had a very difficult time , and conversely , a job which brought great joy can sink without trace . it’s obviously brilliant if you have a wonderful time and the work is universally loved , but you can’t know that , so i look for situations that are going to be exiting and interesting in their creation .
that’s really hard to say . i think style is a strange concept . i think my melodic writing is influenced by jazz improvisation , in the sense of long , unfolding musical thought . i trained in composition , and therefore have a technical grasp of harmony and counterpoint , and really the influence comes from the situation you are composing for . i love to research different genres that might be suggested by a certain job . for example i studied the arabic makam system of scales in syria before writing the “ thief of baghdad ” for the opera house . i ended up writing my own scales and improvising – a bit like modal improvisation , to create my melodies .
i like to leave a lot of room for improvement , so that when live musicians play the music , there is a collective recognition of the superior sound and expression live players bring . the demos have to be good , obviously , but i like to spend more time composing than programming . i’m committed where possible to keeping music live , and i think there are dangers in super samples . clearly when you are looking for electronic sounds , then that’s different .
when writing for tv , how much of your music is recorded live vs . using samples ?
depends on budget , but i will always have some live elements , and on occasion , i’ve spent most of my fee on orchestral costs because i’ve felt it will pay off in the sound .
yes , absolutely . it ; ’s like the best training in orchestration : to do it , then conduct it , and if necessary alter things at the podium . you learn what really works .
i’m working on a british film with dna , who just brought out “dred” , i have a play opening tonight ( hedda gabler ) , at the old vic theatre in london , i’m about to start on a chinese epic play with lots of music and dance for the rsc ( the orphan of zhao ) , and i have luther series 3 after that .

hat’s your favourite ballet music ? for me , it is stravinsky’s firebird . favourite film music ? bernard herrmann’s scorching score for
. but your favourite music written for a play ? not so easy to recall . in fact , what can i even think of that qualifies ? wracking my brains ,
comes to mind , but even that , technically , was originally written as a concert piece and only later padded out to accompany a stage performance .
why is it that music for ballet – and lately films – packs out concert halls , but we seldom remember , let alone celebrate , music written for theatre ? is the music less substantial , its job less important ? it’s a question that set me and conductor simon over on an expedition to stratford - upon - avon to find out what noteworthy music had been written for the royal shakespeare company in its century - long history . there we met its head of music bruce o’neil .

o’neil’s team also learned that although the composer conducted the piece ( and even sang some of the off stage chorus when the singers missed their cues ) , the play’s director frank benson was “neither pleased nor interested” by the new music and promptly cut it from all revivals . the word is he found vaughan williams’ penchant for folk idioms too avant garde . this music – vintage vaughan williams , rich in melody and sentiment – has sat unperformed for 100 years . we are thrilled to be giving its concert premiere in london on 20 september , at st john’s smith square .
since the rsc discovered the vaughan williams score , its music team has spent every spare hour exploring the vaults for other notable composers who wrote for the company . inspired by their quest , over and i decided to programme a concert of some of their discoveries – a distinctive way to celebrate shakespeare’s 400th anniversary . but we were spoiled for choice . we could give a whole season of concerts and still not span all there is to be heard in the rsc archive .
nonetheless , other gems from the rsc vaults that we’ll be performing in concert for the first time include lennox berkeley ’s ravishing the winter’s tale ( 1960 ) , which sees the composer at his most desolate and playful , as the play’s two halves require ; edmund rubbra ’s startling , monochrome score for macbeth ( 1946 ) , and malcolm williamson ’s gleeful merry wives of windsor ( 1965 ) , which sounds like shostakovich giddily colliding with benny hill .
also on the programme is a score for a 1925 production of king john . for a long time , the music was thought to be the work of theatre composer albert cazabon . fastidious sleuthing on the part of o’neil’s colleague richard sandland revealed it was actually written in the hand of one rosabel watson . we can only speculate why the manuscripts do not bear her name : pure clerical oversight or a case of a woman not being given due credit ? even by today’s standards , watson was an extraordinary figure : she wrote extensively for the stage and concert hall , founded and conducted a suffragette orchestra that toured nationally , and was also regarded as the finest female horn player in britain . her name should be more widely known . i hope her renaissance begins here .
despite the riches we’re bringing to light , hundreds of other scores remain shelved in the rsc archive . each one needs a careful transference from heaps of faded , handwritten scribbles into legible , computer - notated copies , for which o’neil would doubtless value an army of helpers . then they need musicians eager to take them for a spin .
of course , you might wonder if the music warrants a life of its own , long after the curtain dropped on the show for which it was written . on the strength of the scores we are resurrecting , i would say it’s worth the endeavour . in berkeley’s case alone , there are colours in this music that the composer only hints at elsewhere in his canon . and though he never returned to the rsc , it’s clear that vaughan williams put his soul into the music he wrote for richard ii . i imagine it could easily find its way , alongside his other works , into the classic fm hall of fame . o’neil is convinced there are further gems waiting to be found in the rsc troves .
but what other great theatrical music can we resurrect ? next month , the southbank sinfonia’s musicians embark on the national theatre’s new production of amadeus . i’d love to slip into the national’s archives to see what we can find there . who knows ? a few years ago , the orchestra performed delius’s complete music for the play hassan at the cheltenham festival , a sprawling curiosity that seems to air about once a decade . in 1923 , when the play was written , it was customary for theatres to have lavish bands perform epic scores to match the on - stage melodrama . on dusty shelves across the country , such music must still be sitting , waiting , crying out to be heard again .
