Joseph Trapanese commented, “Lionsgate tasked me with creating a fresh, contemporary score for a new generation’s Robin Hood, and I’m incredibly excited to share it with you. Director Otto Bathurst invited me to bring synthetic sound, energetic percussion, and aggressive orchestration to his modern re-telling of this timeless story, the result of which is a classic tale told like none other.”
“We were very committed to making a version of the Robin Hood story that felt contemporary to a modern audience. All the themes of the classic tale run rampant through the 21st century, so our ambition was that the film would resonate with today’s audience. The score was a huge tool in trying to achieve it,” remarked director Otto Bathurst. “In the same way that the design, costume, set pieces and style of the movie were specifically shaped to ensure that the film didn’t feel old-fashioned, we wanted the music to do the same, whilst delivering the scale, fun, and energy of the movie. That’s a tough brief for a composer and Joe really delivered,”
Robin Hood follows Robin of Loxley (Taron Egerton), a war-hardened Crusader, and his Moorish commander (Jamie Foxx) as they mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography and a timeless romance. Robin Hood is presented by Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment and produced by Appian Way and Safehouse Pictures in association with Thunder Roads Films.
Joseph Trapanese is best known for his sleek, ominous score work for blockbuster films like Tron: Legacy, Straight Outta Compton, Oblivion, and the Raid series. Other notable scores include the hugely-successful musical film The Greatest Showman (2017), the second and third installments of Lionsgate’s Divergent series, Insurgent (2015) and Allegiant (2016); Earth to Echo (2014); and Ubisoft’s video game The Crew (2014). As a composer, arranger, and producer for movie, television, theater, and video game music, he has collaborated with a number of mainstream musical acts including Daft Punk, M83 and Moby. In the studio and in concert, he has also worked with Dr. Dre, Zedd, Kelly Clarkson, Kendrick Lamar, Haim, The Glitch Mob, Active Child, Halsey, Sohn, John Newman, Dia Frampton, 3OH!3, Steven Price, and James Newton Howard.
