A selection of West One Music tracks are featured alongside Andrew Hewitt's brilliant score on Richard Ayoade's debut feature ‘Submarine’, released in cinemas nationwide on March 18. Based on a novel by Joe Dunthorne, the film stars Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Paddy Considine and Sally Hawkins.

An over-excited West One Music team ventured out of the confines of Percy Street and attended a screening and Q&A at BAFTA last week. We’re not just blowing our own trumpet because we’re used on the original soundtrack - we just can’t recommend it highly enough – we urge you to go and check this out! The songs crafted by Alex Turner are a particular highlight.

A psychological thriller set in the world of the New York City ballet, Black Swan stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis).

A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler), Black Swan takes a thrilling, and at times terrifying, journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous Swan Queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect.

The film has opened to rave reviews and Portman has already won a Golden Globe for her mesmerising performance, so the stage is set for more plaudits with 12 BAFTA nominations and the Oscars on the horizon.

The score for Black Swan is composed by long-time Aronofsky collaborator Clint Mansell. Mansell has based the original score around a re-imagination of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and, as his previous work testifies, it brings some of the most beautiful and haunting elements to the film.

We licensed Fox Searchlight our version of Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky for the trailer, a track from West One Music’s expansive collection of classical tracks. If you too would like to use a classical work, our team of dedicated music consultants are on hand to help on 0207 907 1500 so just give them a shout!

The director Peter Weir (Master and Commander, Truman Show) is back with the eagerly anticipated The Way Back and Fired Earth Music’s Man of Steel from Vulcano has been chosen to accompany the epic film trailer: the mysterious, atmospheric opening evolves into an exhilarating, all-powerful, heroic theme.

The Way Back stars an impressive cast of Ed Harris (Pollack, Gone Baby Gone), Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe, The Other Boleyn Girl), Saoirse Ronan (Atonement, The Lovely Bones), Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes, Kick Ass) and Colin Farrell (In Bruges, Crazy Heart).

The film is an adaptation of the novel, The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz, a Polish army officer captured by the Russians in September 1939 and sent to a prison camp when the German and Russian armies were fighting over his country. There have been many challenges to the veracity of his claims, but Weir was hooked on the inspiring tale of human endeavor and survival. The film depicts the escape of the prisoners from a Siberian gulag, travelling 4,000 miles by foot across Siberia, Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, Tibet and the Himalayas before the surviving members of the party found refuge in India in 1941.

The film will get an Academy qualifying run from December and all of us at the West One Music Group cannot wait! It could finally be Peter Weir’s path towards another Oscar nomination and for a director with his pedigree it’s thoroughly deserved.
