Opening credits never really went away (think of the slow-mo demolition of “The Good Fight”), but they are definitely having a moment.
“I really love title sequences,” “Chucky” showrunner Don Mancini told IndieWire. “ I lament the loss of titles. I just love the ritualistic value of them.”
When correctly deployed, opening credit sequences can do some heavy lifting for TV shows. The best title credit sequences set the tone for the show, hint at what’s to come, and, depending on when they’re used, underscore what just happened in the cold open. But in the wake of streaming upheavals and changes to how we consume content, they’ve been missing more and more. Or skipped more and more, depending on the options of a given platform.

Philip Glass has been composing soundscapes of ambient intrigue for documentary filmmaker Errol Morris for decades, from the groundbreaking true-crime doc “The Thin Blue Line” to the Robert McNamara portrait “The Fog of War.” Now, the three-time Oscar-nominated modernist composer and co-writer Paul Leonard-Morgan have crafted the original score for Morris’ John le Carré documentary “The Pigeon Tunnel,” the Apple TV+ documentary that opens Friday, October 20. Also premiering that day will be the film’s original soundtrack from Platoon, and IndieWire shares an exclusive track off the album below.
“It is our pleasure to share ‘The Pigeon Tunnel’ soundtrack,” said Philip Glass and Paul Leonard-Morgan, adding that “the orchestral journey this score took us on, combing the cimbalom of ’60s espionage soundtracks with symphonic orchestral work, led to 80 minutes of score, almost the entirety of the film.”

Less a last will and testament than a mischievously mutual final troll, Errol Morris’s documentary The Pigeon Tunnel sees both its director and its subject, the late spy turned novelist John le Carré (né David Cornwell), engage in a circuitous dialogue, shot over four days near the end of 2019, that’s as charming and playful as it is oblique and ominous.
Contradictions abound, beginning with the film’s title visual, which is taken from le Carré’s 2016 memoir of the same name. It refers to a hotel in the Mediterranean that a young le Carré would visit with his father Ronnie, a career swindler. Pigeons were bred on the roof, and at certain points of the day the birds were forced to fly through a tunnel where they would emerge over the ocean and be shot at from below by wealthy clientele. Those that survived, rather than break for freedom,...

The Pigeon Tunnel, from Apple Original Films and The Ink Factory (The Night Manager), is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on October 20.

In the revelatory Boston Strangler, Matt Ruskin (Crown Heights) flips a well-known saga on its head. The story has been told onscreen many times, first and most famously in a 1968 feature starring Tony Curtis and Henry Fonda. In that movie, released only a few years after a series of murders targeted single women in their Boston-area apartments, the only female characters of note are victims. A select group of upstanding male detectives puzzle over the lurid details of the crimes and wax psychological about the perp. They get their man. Then came the straight-to-video thrillers about Albert DeSalvo, the confessed but not quite proven killer, and the countless episodes of true-crime series. This time around, the investigator played by Fonda has just one scene and a couple of lines; the center instead belongs to the two female reporters who broke the story and, in the process, put the Boston Pd on notice.

Bleak atmosphere and a David Fincher-inspired aesthetic are the first things that audiences will notice when watching “Boston Strangler.” Writer-director Matt Ruskin pulls us into this true-crime tale, centered on the dedicated reporters determined to solve Boston’s serial killings in the early 1960s, using similarly desaturated color, frame composition and camera movements. A distant cousin to “Zodiac,” with splashes of “Seven” mixed into its homages, this thriller falls short of its influences yet carves out a small space of its own. It makes a searing indictment of the sloppy, sexism-laced police work that might’ve resolved the case, and pays tribute to the two women who broke the investigation wide open.

Plot: A true-crime thriller about the trailblazing reporters who broke the story of the notorious Boston Strangler murders of the 1960s.
Review: The notorious serial killer known as The Boston Strangler is a case that captivated the world in the 1960s and spawned a film almost fifty years ago starring Tony Curtis as Albert DeSalvo. In the decades since DeSalvo’s confession and trial, theories have emerged that the Boston murders could have been committed by multiple killers, of which DeSalvo can only be concretely linked to one. This new film from writer/director Matt Ruskin chronicles the quest of two reporters to help stop the Strangler and gives context to the city of Boston as it was on edge for years as the killer brutally dispatched women of all ages. With a solid lead from Keira Knightley, this intriguing drama emulates David Fincher’s Zodiac while not capturing the...

The ASCAP Screen Music Awards kicked off a four-day virtual celebration Monday morning with the naming of winners in the peer-voted ASCAP Composers’ Choice Awards, with the score for Pixar’s “Soul” managing to notch yet another triumph as its sweep continues virtually unabated.
The number of categories for the performing rights organization’s still fairly new division of awards voted by fellow songwriters and composers was expanded in this round, with documentary score and television theme of the year being added for 2021.
In the film score of the year category, the “Soul” music proved that it has some life — or afterlife — left in it yet after recently triumphing at the Oscars. The award went to Trent Reznor and Jon Batiste, two of the composing trio behind the music.

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is arguably the the biggest video game release of 2020, transporting players to a gritty sci-fi world full of bio-augmented criminals and lowlives. True to its name, the game explores some pretty deep concepts about cyberspace and what life might be like in a futuristic transhuman society where technological advancements have turned us less human and more machine. So it’s no surprise that the game’s score often sounds like something recovered from the year 2077 and brought back to our time. At its very best, the soundtrack elevates this grim dystopia.
In the wake of Cyberpunk 2077‘s massive launch, Den of Geek spoke with the trio of composers behind the game’s score: Marcin Przybylowicz (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt), P.T. Adamczyk (Gwent: The Witcher Card Game), and Paul Leonard-Morgan (Dredd). The three composers discussed the soundtrack’s conception and revealed the unconventional methods they...

Where do you even begin with a year brimming with as much exciting music as 2020 had to offer? Even if you limit it to what made it to TV screens, it’s still a daunting collection of possibilities.
To start, there were the undeniable musical charms of “Central Park,” “The Eddy,” and “P-Valley,” all of which drew heavily on original songs to help tether their stories to a distinct time and place.
Phillip Glass, Harold Budd (“I Know This Much is True”), Alan Silvestri (“Cosmos: Possible Worlds”) and Atticus Ross all added to their robust, ever-growing bodies of work.
Musicians who have helped define the atmospheres of their respective series — like Ramin Djawadi for “Westworld” or Jesse Novak for “BoJack Horseman” — continued to do so as the characters in focus faced monumental changes. In the middle of it all, Jeff Russo held onto his title of the busiest musician in...

While composers Marcin Przybyłowicz, P. T. Adamczyk, Paul Leonard-Morgan are looking to surpass The Witcher 3‘s incredible original score, the real story of Cyberpunk 2077‘s soundtrack may be the game’s GTA-like radio stations and their lineups of licensed songs.
Of course, you may not initially realize that Cyberpunk 2077‘s soundtrack is loaded with licensed hits as a quick Spotify search for in-game bands like Window Weather, Bara Nova, and Tainted Overlord yields no relevant results. Well, that’s because all of the bands in Cyberpunk 2077 go by pseudonyms designed to better match the lore and style of the Cyberpunk universe. For instance, Run the Jewels is “Yankee and the Brave,” Nina Kraviz is “Bara Nova,” and Converge is “Shattered Void.”

Errol Morris’ surreal investigations into humanity have been influencing documentary filmmakers for generations, so it was only a matter of time before he began influencing himself. Morris’ last effort, the 2018 Steve Bannon one-on-one “American Dharma,” was inspired by Bannon’s own creepy affinity for Morris’ work. Now comes “My Psychedelic Love Story,” which owes its existence in part to “Wormwood,” the category-busting Netflix miniseries in which Morris investigated whether the FBI used LSD to take down government scientist Frank Olson.
That bizarre chapter of ‘60s conspiracy and psychedelia has now birthed another one, as Morris’ feature-length interview with former Timothy Leary lover and FBI informant Joanna Harcourt-Smith came to him because of “Wormwood.” Morris’ movies have always been rabbit-hole journeys that work best when staying true to his playful instincts: “Wormwood” was an intriguing experiment in breaking the familiar Morris mold, but “My Psychedelic Love Story” brings him back to where he belongs.

Baby Yoda. Jean-Luc Picard. A medieval witcher. A world where fairies have sex with humans. Steve Carrell aiming for the moon. A science-fiction anthology. The fantasy and sci-fi realms prospered on TV during the past season, particularly with the help of several gifted composers.
The anthology “Tales From the Loop” (Amazon) boasted the most high-profile theme, by famed minimalist Philip Glass, in partnership with Scottish composer Paul Leonard-Morgan. The two ended up scoring all eight episodes together.
As they were beginning, sitting at pianos in Glass’s New York studio, Glass remarked to Leonard-Morgan, “your melodies are beautiful but your harmonies need work!” But, as Leonard-Morgan related, “by episodes 2 and 3, we were so much on each other’s wavelength that people didn’t know what was coming from Philip or from me.”
In classically Glassian fashion, piano and strings became the primary voice for the miniseries. “He was playing some harmonies,...

When composer Philip Glass was first approached by executive producer Mark Romanek to score “Tales From the Loop,” he was immediately drawn to the striking paintings of Simon Stålenhag that served as the basis for the existential sci-fi drama from Amazon Prime Video. Given his own spirituality, it was the perfect fit for Glass’ TV debut. Only he was too busy with other projects, so he suggested finding a collaborator — and that’s when Paul Leonard-Morgan joined the team.
It was no coincidence. Both had worked with documentary director Errol Morris, and Leonard-Morgan’s mesmerizing score for “Wormwood” was the clincher.
“The show is a unique narrative on humanity, so we didn’t want the score to feel like classic Hollywood, but more organic — like the music is just there in the loop, an integral part of the story,” Glass said.

“Collaborating with Phillip was like a bucket list ‘tick,’” admits composer Paul Leonard-Morgan about working with acclaimed maestro Glass on Amazon’s sci-fi anthology series “Tales From the Loop.” “It was a really organic process [but] it took a while to trust each other and to try and get each other’s wavelength.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Leonard-Morgan above.

“Tales From the Loop,” which stars Rebecca Hall and Jonathan Pryce, is based on the acclaimed sci-fi illustrations of Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag and was developed for TV by writer Nathaniel Halpern (“Legion”).

Errol Morris has been ahead of the curve ever since he broke out with pet cemetery documentary “Gates of Heaven” in 1978. A decade later, “The Thin Blue Line” wowed critics but alienated the hidebound documentary community with its use of “reenactments” and a rousing Philip Glass score. Decades before Netflix created “Making a Murderer,” “The Keepers,” and “Witness,” Morris’ film actually solved a murder mystery and freed an innocent Death Row convict in a Texas prison.
Since then, Glass became a go-to movie composer, earning three Oscar nominations — and could score a fourth for this year’s Oscar documentary frontrunner “Jane.” Reenactments have become standard issue for nonfiction films, filling the void between talking heads, archival footage, cinéma vérité observation, and what isn’t visually available. And Morris isn’t the only filmmaker who is a presence in his films, yelling at his subjects from behind his invention, the Interrotron.

“Second verse same as the first” isn’t exactly how you could describe composer Paul Leonard-Morgan’s life and career, but you could say some of his life’s melodies repeat now and then. Whether it be twice writing music for a thriller about a brain-enhancing drug or annual fundraising for a hospital while clad in a kilt, there are a few refrains in Leonard-Morgan’s life, though he’s found ways to make those familiar experiences fresh each time. Leonard-Morgan composed music for the 2011 thriller Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper. CBS also hired him when the network was developing a TV adaptation of the movie, about the people who discover the powers of a mysterious drug called Nzt-48 that gives users access to every neuron in their brain (based on the myth that humans only use 10% of their brain). Limitless, which premiered last fall, didn’t get renewed for a second season on CBS,...

Fans of Dredd, the second (and significantly more successful) attempt at bringing 2000 Ad’s most iconic character to the big screen, received some news this past week. Good or bad, that’s hard to say, but following a big campaign orchestrated by the comic publishers and star Karl Urban, people have (finally) been talking about the potential of a sequel. Producer Adi Shankar revealed that “there are conversations going on”, but crucially, “there’s no [drokkin'] script”.
So…maybe…we’ll get a follow up to – arguably – one of the best comic-to-movie adaptations of recent years, one of the best action films of the decade so far, and the coolest film Domhnall Gleeson was in until, y’know, Star Wars VII happens. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes shenanigans that are holding up the sequel to Dredd, but they need to strike whilst the iron’s hot.

Maybe Dredd was never going to be successful. It was based on a comic book beloved by a certain slice of the global population (British people) and mostly unknown to everyone else. I say “mostly” because if you say the words “Judge Dredd” in polite company, everyone thinks of the terrible 1995 Sylvester Stallone movie, a film that has somehow become the go-to example of Everything Stallone Did Wrong After Cliffhanger. The new Dredd had a curious pedigree: Written by Alex Garland, who has worked on some great films; directed by Pete Travis, who hasn’t. At one point, rumors circulated...

Shock Til You Drop found two excerpts from the remake's score; its main theme and track with vocals called "Juno" that sees Chloë Alper team with the film's composer, Rob. Plenty of musicians are looking back to synth-heavy genre scores, and we're probably all the better for it (Paul Leonard-Morgan's work on Dredd is also drone-y, dancy and all around splendid).
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank's obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.
Maniac stars Elijah Wood, and sees U.S. release from IFC this spring. You can find Rob's entire score currently on Spotify.

Set in the not-so-distant future America, an irradiated desert wasteland, Dredd 3D paints a dark, grungy picture of society to come. Based upon the comic book series, this second film adaptation takes the British comic strip source material more to heart, without taking itself too seriously. The Judges in this future, based from the Hall of Justice, are also the jury and executioner… a type of one-stop-shop of the criminal justice system. Less focused on celebrity as Sylvester Stallone’s Judge Dredd (1995), Dredd 3D (2012) may feature a relatively simple story, but showcases the extraordinarily bleak, post-industrial mess of a landscape and the overall character of its characters’ world.
Directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point), Dredd 3D stars Karl Urban (Star Trek, Pathfinder) as the infamous, no excuses Judge to be most feared by criminals. Keeping in line with the previous statement about the film not focusing on celebrity, Urban never...

Dredd
Written by Alex Garland
Directed by Pete Travis
USA/UK/India, 2012
Excluding a much-maligned 1995 adaptation, one of the more notable influences 2000 Ad’s Judge Dredd comic book series has had on the film world is informing Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop. Both have corrupt future city settings, helmeted law enforcer protagonists, and often absurd levels of violence. The comparison in Pete Travis’ Dredd is especially inescapable when, in one scene, Karl Urban’s Judge Dredd informs a felon that they only have a certain number of seconds to comply. The most important comparison, however, between RoboCop, or even Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi fare in general, and the Judge Dredd comics, is the heavily satirical content amidst the gore and gunplay. Though not a glaring detriment, it is somewhat disappointing that Travis’ film only has small flourishes of the satire, especially as one brief example in the film’s opening sequence...

Smarter than any comic-book film this year.
Only someone with little common sense would compare Dredd to the recent actioner, The Raid. Yes, both films feature lead characters who are cops, navigating their way through the dangers of an apartment complex controlled by drug lords. But that’s where the similarities end. One is a straight forward actioner, the other an intelligent science-fiction piece disguised as an action film. We already have plenty of fanboys debating or comparing the differences between Star Trek and Star Wars, let’s save that for another forum. These wonderful films should be, forgive the pun, judged on their individual merits.
Unlike the previous comic book films of recent years (and months), Dredd is a small movie, with big ideas. It raises many questions about where our society is headed and how the judicial system may adapt and it holds a mirror in front of us,...

After catching up with Judge Dredd himself, Karl Urban, we turned out attention to the driving force behind the film, screenwriter, producer and author, Alex Garland. More reserved than his star of the film, he was quiet, tired-looking and looked as if he could think of something better to be doing at 11:30 on a Thursday morning. However, once he got talking about Dredd– a film that’s been quite the passion project for him, he completely changed, talking enthusiastically and excitedly about his new baby.
Q. There are a lot of ideas and characters in the comic books – would you want to put those into later Dredd films?
Well, we have a film that’s yet to be released. Those ideas are certainly not more possible now. They might be, in four weeks time, but it’s a very big if. Dredd is an 18-rated film. In order to...

The Alex Garland-Pete Travis 2000 Ad adaptation has bucked the DC/Marvel trend by dispensing with the hangup-laden hero
Dredd, which arrives in UK cinemas later this week, has had a chequered path to production: director Pete Travis was reportedly locked out of the editing suite at one stage while screenwriter Alex Garland finished the film. The pair later issued a statement in which they denied Travis had been ousted and put to rest rumours that Garland might seek a co-director's credit. Nevertheless, the whole affair hardly invited optimism.
Whoever's stamp is on the final cut – and Travis was missing from the special screening I attended last week in London, while Garland held centre-stage – there are no signs that the film has suffered from the lack of a unified vision. In fact there is nothing muddled or vague about the second adaptation of the 2000 Ad comic strip Judge Dredd...
