COMPOSER
Emmy nominated composer David Buckley has recently finished scoring Greenland, directed by Ric Roman Waugh and starring Gerard Butler and is currently working on The Wheel of Time, a TV adaption of Robert Jordan’s best-selling fantasy book series. He has also recently scored the Netflix thriller series The Stranger, the films Angel Has Fallen and Unhinged, the remake of Papillon starring Charlie Hunnam & Rami Malek and animated feature Arctic Justice. Further credits include Jason Bourne directed by Paul Greengrass and The Nice Guys for Shane Black and Joel Silver, the Joel Schumacher-directed thrillers Trespass and Blood Creek, Ben Affleck’s crime drama The Town, director Taylor Hackford’s action feature Parker and Rob Minkoff’s fantasy adventure The Forbidden Kingdom.
For Television, David has composed the music for the hit Scott Free/CBS drama series The Good Wife and The Good Fight (for which he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Title Music) Mercy Street for PBS, BrainDead for CBS and The Gifted for Marvel/FOX.
Born in England, David’s first involvement with film music was as a cathedral choirboy performing on Peter Gabriel’s score for Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. He continued his musical education at Cambridge University where he later taught. After graduating, he moved to London to begin a successful career writing music for TV shows and commercials. In 2006, David moved to Los Angeles where he began collaborating with Harry Gregson-Williams on film scores, including Shrek The Third, Flushed Away, The Number 23 and Gone Baby Gone. He has also written additional music for such films as Wonder Woman, Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, Fifty Shades Freed, Big Eyes, Winter’s Tale and American Hustle, and his music was featured in David O’Russell’s Joy. David was honoured as a ‘Brit to Watch’ by BAFTA and has been the recipient of numerous BMI Awards.
As well as film and TV, David has written the music for a number of games, including the Warner Bros/Rocksteady game Batman Arkham Knight and Activision’s Call of Duty: Ghosts for which he received a TEC Award.
