Seven years ago I spent a week in Matera watching Bond, Madeleine and Primo do their thing. I also remember pitching Barbara Broccoli on the idea of Callum Turner as 007 and then seeing him at the No Time To Die premiere.

I don't often get to speak to bona fide rockstars, so was beyond thrilled to interview Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood about his creative collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson and his incredible score for One Battle After Another. www.screendaily.com/features/its...

“It’s addictive working with Paul Thomas Anderson”: Jonny Greenwood on their long collaboration and scoring ‘One Battle After Another’
The Radiohead founding member has collaborated with Anderson on six films so far, and says he has started working on the seventh.

Always a delight to speak to @danielpemberton.bsky.social who's nominated for Film Composer of the Year at this year's World Soundtrack Awards. www.screendaily.com/features/fro...

From a minimalist flutes-only approach to ‘The Drama’ to a full-on rock score for ‘Masters Of The Universe’, Daniel Pemberton never wants to repeat himself
The UK composer's scores this year also include Project Hail Mary and animated sequel The Bad Guys 2.

Given writer-director Andrew Patterson has a new film out soon — The Rivals of Amziah King — it's incredibly annoying that Amazon have made his terrific debut The Vast Of Night unavailable. Even more so when streaming it on Prime was the only way you could watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEiw...

Jurassic Park, Event Horizon, Dead Calm, Possession, In The Mouth Of Madness, Omen 3, The Piano and so much more. Sam Neill was a fine actor and, by all accounts, an even finer person. I met him once, very briefly, when he did me a favour. Condolences to his family. RIP

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

Decided not to binge the final season of The Bear, rather to savour each episode. And so, I've only just learned that Marcus watched "the entire Tony Scott filmography" for inspiration. Good man.

The Pitt doesn't pull any punches in its politics or depiction of medical procedures. "Some of it is quite gnarly," showrunner and creator R Scott Gemmill tells Mark Salisbury. "That was our goal"

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.
Marcia Lucas stands with George Lucas at an editing machine.
