Orchestral score and more than 100 prints for Beneath Hill 60

Jeremy Sims is working with composer Cezary Skubiszewski and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra this week on the score for WW1 epic Beneath Hill 60, which is likely to open on 100-130 screens in April.

Producer Bill Leimbach told Encore that the film has become a real “classic” film and therefore, Sims is looking for a “full, rich classical feel” with oboes, clarinets, cellos, violins, kettle drums and even bells.

“Jeremy was adamant that Cezary created a leitmotif that meanders through the film, and I think he has succeeded,” he said.

According to Leimbach, the film’s distributor Paramount Pictures was working hard to make Beneath Hill 60 a household name before its release on April 15. The trailer is currently playing nationwide, attached to films such as Nine and Up in the Air.
