PROJECT: THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER
MITTY
Theodore Shapiro has signed to score
upcoming remake of 1947 classic family adventure THE SECRET
LIFE OF WALTER MITTY. The original movie tells the story of a
fictional writter who likes to imagine to be the hero of his
own stories. His dream becomes true when he accidentally meets
a mysterious woman who hands him a little black book.
According to her, it contains the locations of the Dutch crown
jewels hidden since World War II. Soon, Mitty finds himself in
the middle of a confusing conspiracy and has to admit that
being a hero in real life isn't that easy. The new version,
which has been circulating over Hollywood for many years
and was briefly attached to Steven Spielberg or Ron Howard
finally ended with Ben Stiller who is not only directing the
movie but also starring in the lead role. The movie co-stars
Kristen Wiig, Shirley McLaine or Sean Penn is currently in
production and will be released on Christmas
2013.
June 16th, 2012: NEW
PROJECT: THE CAMPAIGN
Shortly after he had scored well-received HBO movie about the
presidential election and Sarah Palin's campaign, Theodore Shapiro reunites with director
Jay Roach again in more political arena, scoring director's upcoming comedy
THE CAMPAIGN featuring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis as two rivals from North Carolina
tagling against each other in presidential elections. The
movie also stars John Lithgow, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox and
Day Aykroyd. Warner Bros. is releasing the movie on August 10.
Theodore Shapiro is still working on his score, which is also
quite sparse and therefore chances for its release are not
very high. You can watch the trailer
below.

HOPE SPRINGS
Columbia Pictures

April 18th, 2012: INTERVIEW:
Avast ye Matey!
New interview with
Theodore Shapiro was released today in latest issue
of Film Score Monthly Online. You can read the article,
where Theodore Shapiro discusses his score for THE
PIRATES! here. The
movie is opening in the US next week and the score album
should be released around that time but nothing has been
announced yet. Here is a little quote
from the interview: "The story is
about a very ragtag group of pirates. So the score is part
swashbuckling pirate music, but part very falling apart at the
seams. There is an element of color in the score, which is
junky percussion and detuned guitars and concertina, stuff
like that. And then a lot of that fits in with a very large
orchestra doing exciting, swashbuckling-type material. The bad
guy in the movie is Queen Victoria, so there's definitely a
whole element of British music that's part of the score. Her
theme is an evil version of "Rule Britannia." Then there are
also some very English sea shanties that I've written. I had
to educate myself in English music."
March 12th, 2012: SAMPLES: GAME CHANGE / THE PIRATES

New drama GAME CHANGE
premiered last weekend on HBO and you can watch a little

Theodore Shapiro recoded his score for The
Pirates in January and the movie will be released on March
28th all over Europe, with US release date coming about one
month later. Currently there is still no soundtrack album
announced, but it is most likely coming. Stay tuned for more
information coming soon.
