Mark writes film score!

[Jarle]

On Facebook just now:

Mark is to write the music for a new film called Private Peaceful which is scheduled for release in January, 2012. The film is based on Michael Morpurgo's best-selling novel, War Horse. Set in rural Devon in the years leading up to and including the First World War, it tells the story of Tommo Peaceful from boyhood to the trenches of the Western Front.

Exciting! Although I hope it dosen't affect the studio album or tour...

Well, in any way, it's a better excuse than the tour with Dylan.

Good point, LE! From now on I will read the latest news on the forum before I start a new thread. Promise!

btw, you are right, the story sounds exciting indeed. Just like being created for MK alone. I bet Remembrance Day will be part of the score...

Please,note that the first version of the published news is inacurate : "Private Peaceful" is base on the novel of the same name. War Horse is a different book / film (although also writen by Michael Morpurgo) where MK is not involved in.

Whatever happened to the score for Homage to Catalonia?

[Love Expresso]

Iris, if I got it right the whole movie has been shelved, so Mark never was about to start working on the score?

That's a disappointment.  Great writing.   But very very happy for what we can get.

The film is planned for 2012:

[in development ] Catalonia [feature film/Hugh Hudson ] UK, Spain, Chile, Brazil

I've just checked the Private Peaceful website, and they have the full cast and crew list up, and Mark is listed as the composer.

Wow! Hence the next recording sessions....

Perhaps Privateering or Haul Away will be in the score.  I really hope they won't be in the new solo album.

WHAT?

How comes? I REALLY hope they will be on the new album. They have to be actually, because as you probably will remember, the new album will be called
"PRIVATEERING", (as I decided  ), therefore it would be strange if the title track would not be on it...

I'm just not fond of them, that's all.  I really wish Mark would ditch McGoldrick;  the longer he spends in the company of guys like him McCusker, Tim O'Brian and Phil Cunningham the bigger influence they are having on the sound of his albums.  On tour, Mike plays now on everything and so does John.  Downscaling is needed badly.  Mike out and John to stay but sit out on some songs.
