Having been fans of the Icelandic composer’s work, we can imagine that it is an integral part of the film, titled The Theory of Everything, which will see release in the UK on the 1st January 2015. The film, which apparently focusing on the romance between Stephen and Jane Hawking, stars Eddie Redmayne (epic name) and Felicity Jones. James Marsh directs. Watch the trailer above.
“I’m a big fan of James as director – ever since I saw Man on Wire (James Marsh directed documentary) years ago – and I have also always been fascinated by Stephen Hawking, both as a writer and theorist as well as a human being. I approached the music very much on emotional terms,” Jóhannsson states, “Most of the score is derived from very simple elements that are announced in the first frames of the film – a four-note piano ostinato which then slowly expands into more complex forms and appears and re-appears evolved, deconstructed and re-assembled in various renderings throughout the film.”
