burwellComposer Carter Burwell continues his working relationship with director John Lee Hancock, whose previous features The Alamo and The Rookie both featured scores by the New York-based composer who is best known for his numerous scores for the films of the Coen brothers, and for last year’s score to the massive hit Twilight. Hancock’s and Burwell’s new film is entitled The Blind Side and, just like The Rookie, it’s an underdog sports movie. This one is based on the novel by Michael Lewis, ‘The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game’ and tells the story of a teenager who is recruited by a college football program . The cast features Sandra Bullock, Kathy Bates, Kim Dickens, Ray McKinnon and Quinton Aaron and Warner Bros. will release the film on November 20. Julia Michels is the music supervisor on the project. Carter Burwell has recently finished work on two other scores: Where the Wild Things Are (Spike Jonze’s new film that also features music by Karen O.) and A Serious Man (by the Coen bros).
