DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOUR AMONG THIEVES THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK BY GRAMMY-WINNING SCOTTISH COMPOSER LORNE BALFE
Friday 31st March, Mercury Classics Soundtrack and Score will release the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for fantasy action-adventure film Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves by Grammy-winning, and Emmy & BAFTA-nominated composer Lorne Balfe. Written and directed by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley, the film is released in cinemas across the UK today (31st March).
A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure. Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, Chloe Coleman, Daisy Head and Hugh Grant all star in this epic fantasy based on Hasbro’s iconic table-top game Dungeons & Dragons.
From expansive, adrenaline-fueled orchestrations, featuring racing strings and plucked harps to mournful melodies, jaunty lute-lead motifs and dramatic choral sections, Lorne Balfe’s thrilling orchestral score brings this action-packed film to life.
On scoring the film, Balfe says “I’m so happy to be the composer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves. I started playing this game when I was 7 years old and I’m excited for a new generation to discover the game I loved growing up with. The score is filled with delicate mystical Celtic journeys mixed with the large cinematic lush orchestra. I really got to tap into my Scottish roots with this one!”
Balfe’s composition credits include the most successful film of the Mission Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Black Widow, The Crown, The Lego Batman Movie, and the Oscar-nominated film The Florida Project.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is out now digitally via Mercury Classics Soundtrack & Score. LP, colour LP & CD releases to follow in 2023.
