“This album is packed to bursting with original themes which differ greatly from track to track… Hancock proves that his work is up there with the best that Hollywood has to offer. Expect great things from him in the future.” (Review Graveyard)
Bodyguard: A New Beginning (Stuart Hancock)
Original score from the 2008 action feature film directed by Chee Keong Cheung, starring Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Sophie Linfield and Mark Strange, produced by Intense Productions and Radius Pictures, released by Grindstone Entertainment (USA) and Park Entertainment (UK).
THE STORY: Leung, the loyal bodyguard of a Chinese Triad boss, Wong, travels to the UK to protect a mysterious young British woman. A betrayal threatens to destroy Wong’s family.
THE SCORE: Underground composer Stuart Hancock’s score for Chee Keong Cheung’s new film, Bodyguard – A New Beginning – is an equally engaging modern film music piece written for orchestra and electronics. This score puts a little more emphasis on character-driven music, as the story is about a Hong Kong bodyguard who is sent to the UK to protect a woman whose identity is known only by his boss. Hancock’s dark, percussive and driving action music is coupled with reflective themes and atmospheric suspense writing.
THE COMPOSER: Stuart Hancock is a British composer, known for his music for the BBC fantasy drama Atlantis, the Channel 4’s animated TV special We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and the Netflix comedy-horror Crazyhead. Stuart won an Ivors Classical Award in 2015 for his large-scale concert work Snapshot Songs, and has garnered considerable industry recognition for his commercial, documentary, TV and film music, including multiple Jerry Goldsmith Awards. Stuart, who studied at the London College of Music, maintains a varied composing career across all media. Raptures, his debut album of concert works, recorded with the BBC Concert Orchestra, was released in 2019.
