Arpy 4,145 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 It is a viable project, I think it's in post-production right now. I came across this news when perusing through the acting credits of Xander Berkley who portrays Tedesco in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,054 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It's already been nominated to several awards (and received one), so I suppose it's finished but for some reason the release has been delayed. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,826 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I assume this is a biopic of Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Also, I didn't know there was a composer named Jerry herst. I thought he was an imaginative character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Herst it's very funny. Just a couple of days ago i was thinking about Tedesco and I was curious to listen to what film music he wrote. I watched some main titles from some films he had scored in youtube. Also,I wonder if they took williams' permission to depict him in the film. Olivia De Havilland just recently sued over her portrayal in that Feud series. I'm sure there shouldn't be anything negative with the portrayal of his character but still.. Another thing I wonder is, how can a film about a film composer keep the interest of the viewer, unless there is a personal turmoil, or conflicts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I don't know how many of you know already, but a biopic on Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (the Italian emigrée who taught composition to John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith among many others) has just been released in the US. Here's a trailer: According to the IMDb credits list, there are actors portraying Williams, Goldsmith, Andrè Previn, Henry Mancini, Stanley Kubrick and Igor Stravinskij SteveMc and JWMike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thor 7,492 Posted December 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2018 Yes, we did a thread about it about a year ago or so? I'm very curious about it, and am still waiting for an opportunity to see it. It doesn't appear to be on any streaming service, for example. As we talked about in the other thread, I'm sure Laurence Fuller's John Williams role is tiny -- perhaps no more than a brief cameo-type appearance -- but they did cast the actor pretty well in terms of resemblance: Josh500, Once and SteveMc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
