To Be Completed by Candidate TO BE COMPLETED BY CANDIDATE Referring to the research you carried out for your chosen film, list the most important elements about production, distribution and exhibition you have found out. Film: The Wrestler Year: 2008/9 Production Details The film was produced by Protozoa Pictures, Wild Bunch and Saturn Films with an estimated budget of 7 million dollars, financed by Winchester Capital Partners. It was filmed between January and March 2008 it is an American film and is an original screenplay written by Robert Siegel. It was produced by Darren Aronofsky and Scott Franklin. Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain) also directed it, Maryse Alberti did cinematography, Andrew Weisblum edited and Clint Mansell (Pop Will Eat Itself) did the music. Its main stars are Mickey Rourke (Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson), Marissa Tomei (Cassidy) and Evan Rachel Wood (Stephanie Robinson). Nicolas Cage was originally set to star in the movie. On February 9, 2008 filming took place in the New Alhambra Arena for the upcoming movie which included many CZW (Combat Zone Wrestling) alumni, along with the Necro Butcher, who will be playing a major part in the film. Reportedly, both Bruce Springsteen and Mickey Rourke were paid no money for their contributions towards the film. Due to the film's modest budget, W. Axl Rose donated the use of Guns 'n' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" free of charge for the final match. Distribution Details The UK distributor is Optimum Releasing and Fox Searchlight Pictures in the USA. I could not find details of its marketing budget, probably as it is still out and they are still spending. I did find out it cost Fox Searchlight $4m for the distribution rights when they saw it at the Toronto film festival. I did not find any mention of test screenings other than the film festivals. It was released in the USA in December 2008 and nationwide release in the UK in mid January 2009. It has been promoted with posters (see below) magazine articles and the cast and crew attending premiers, festivals and interviews, although this has created a ‘buzz’ it is still ongoing and there may be more activity if it wins an Oscar. The Wrestler won the Golden Lion for best picture at the Venice film festival. It also appeared at the New York film festival. Exhibition Details The Wrestler was shown in all three kinds of cinema (multiplex, independent and art-house). Its success in festivals/awards and subject matter gave it a wide appeal. It has been on for nearly a week and may last past the Oscars on the 24th February. So far its box office has been $2,822,431 in the US, UK figures are not available yet. It is classified as a 15 in the UK. As already mentioned it seems to have a wide audience appeal as it is a story about an underdog and is showing in all kinds of cinemas. I think it is a successful film as it will probably cover its production and marketing costs and has won many awards: 2 Golden Globes, 1 Golden Lion Award (Venice), and 5 critics awards. It has been nominated for 2 Oscars which might keep it in the cinemas a bit longer. The taglines on its cinema posters were – “Never Give Up Without A Fight” and “Love. Pain. Glory”. I used the following websites: imdb, wikipedia, yahoo! Movies & launchingfilms.com. .

  • BBC Four Programme Information
    SOUND OF CINEMA: THE MUSIC THAT MADE THE MOVIES BBC Four Programme Information Neil Brand presenter and composer said, “It's so fantastic that the BBC, the biggest producer of music content, is showing how music works for films this autumn with Sound of Cinema. Film scores demand an extraordinary degree of both musicianship and dramatic understanding on the part of their composers. Whilst creating potent, original music to synchronise exactly with the images, composers are also making that music as discreet, accessible and communicative as possible, so that it can speak to each and every one of us. Film music demands the highest standards of its composers, the insight to 'see' what is needed and come up with something new and original. With my series and the other content across the BBC’s Sound of Cinema season I hope that people will hear more in their movies than they ever thought possible.” Part 1: The Big Score In the first episode of a new series celebrating film music for BBC Four as part of a wider Sound of Cinema Season on the BBC, Neil Brand explores how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it’s still going strong today. Neil begins by analysing John Barry's title music for the 1965 thriller The Ipcress File. Demonstrating how Barry incorporated the sounds of east European instruments and even a coffee grinder to capture a down at heel Cold War feel, Neil highlights how a great composer can add a whole new dimension to film. Music has been inextricably linked with cinema even since the days of the "silent era", when movie houses employed accompanists ranging from pianists to small orchestras.

  • New Album Reviews
    For Those Of You Who Have Never: New Album Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world I have always been a fan of the humble compilation. Although much maligned in recent years, they can be a great way to introduce yourself to new artists, or genres. This June has seen a surge of quality collections all begging to be reviewed. Some are designed to showcase a particular label (Floor To Floor for Dusky’s 17 Steps, Facticity for Functions‘ Infrastructure New York, The Lost Tapes for Code Is Law), the selection skills of a certain DJ (Tim Green’s Body Language mix, Ryan Elliott’s Fabric 88), or a specific era’s sound (C87’s 80s indie). If you aren’t a fan of compilations, please don’t despair, as we also find time to review great new artist albums by Rebolledo, Huerco S, Weval, Mala, Trevino, Wolf Müller & Cass, and more. So, put on your reading glasses, open up your ears and let us begin… This week we’ll start with the return of Rebolledo, whose second solo album, Mondo Alterado should be available in your local record store now. Continuing the soundtrack-inspired electronica of last year’s Momento Drive mix CD, Mondo Alterado is a stately, atmospheric downtempo delight. Described in the press notes as being “A kind of soundtrack for a movie that doesn’t exist”, the album conjures a wealth of emotions and imagery, making it Rebolledo’s most rewarding work yet. Opener, Here Comes The Warrior (Super Short Album Version) is a dense and absorbing fifteen minute ride into the heart of ambient grooves.

Clint Mansell: Music in the Films Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky ! by ! Visnja Krzic Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Ian Krouse, Chair ! This monograph examines how minimalist techniques and the influence of rock music shape the film scores of the British film composer Clint Mansell (b. 1963) and how these scores differ from the usual Hollywood model. The primary focus of this study is Mansell’s work for two films by the American director Darren Aronofsky (b. 1969), which earned both Mansell and Aronofsky the greatest recognition: Requiem for a Dream (2000) and The Fountain (2006). This analysis devotes particular attention to the relationship between music and filmic structure in the earlier of the two films. It also outlines a brief evolution of musical minimalism and explains how a composer like Clint Mansell, who has a seemingly unusual background for a minimalist, manages to meld some of minimalism’s characteristic techniques into his own work, blending them with aspects of rock music, a genre closer to his musical origins. This study also characterizes the film scoring practices that dominated Hollywood scores throughout the ii twentieth century while emphasizing the changes that occurred during this period of history to enable someone with Mansell’s background to become a Hollywood film composer.

This model was expanded upon by musicians in England and Germany during the late-1970s who developed the popular music style called Industrial as a fusion of experimental popular music sounds, performance art theatricality, and avant-garde composition.

  • “This Is the Best Thing I've EVER Heard!”
    “This is the best thing I’ve EVER heard!” Jim Reid, The Jesus & Mary Chain The Mello Festival, Worcester, 2019 Independent Country 6 cowboys from Birmingham (UK) who take Indie classics on a rollickin’ ride to Nashville and back. Floppy fringes and baggy jeans are swapped for pedal steel guitars and four-part harmonies as the NME meets The Grand Ole Opry. In the hands of Independent Country, the Happy Mondays’ freaky dancing hit “Wrote for Luck” becomes a barn-burnin’ foot stomper; Electronic’s “Getting Away With It” transforms into a tear-jerking country waltz, and Oasis’ classic “Rock ’n’ Roll Star” morphs into the greatest Glen Campbell smash hit that Capitol Records never released. The list goes on: New Order, Blur, Stone Roses, Teenage Fanclub, Pulp, Nirvana, Pixies - all get similarly taken apart and put back together again with undoubted musical chops, songwriting craft and creative flair. You ain’t heard nothing like this! Saddle up your ponies and say hello to the best gang in town... Pirate Studios, Birmingham, 2017 Rock and Roll Brewhouse, Birmingham, 2020 Attic Brewery, Birmingham, July 2019 Recordings The band’s debut LP, "TrailerParkLife", was released in December 2016 and featured southern-fried versions of songs by Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, New Order, Teenage Fanclub, and more. They followed this in summer 2018 with a 2nd album, "The True Adventures of Independent Country", taking on tunes by the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, The Smiths and Spiritualized. After releasing the “Brassneck EP” in 2019, featuring songs by The Wedding Present, The Cure and Suede, the band then hunkered down to begin work on their third LP.
