Johnny Marr said “I knew the original Sweeney theme from being a kid so it was interesting to play it on the guitar. The new version has a lot of tension and is quite menacing, which seemed to be the right approach.” Marr’s involvement came from an invitation from Grammy Award winning Scottish film composer Lorne Balfe, who having worked with Johnny on the music for Christopher Nolan’s movie ‘Inception’ in 2010, made an approach. The soundtrack, released on 10th September, also features Antony Genn and Martin Slattery of Indie-Rock band The Hours.
Lorne Balfe said “I have always loved the music of The Hours and the songs Johnny wrote with The Smiths were a soundtrack to my youth. Johnny brought 'Regan’s Theme' to life for me and with the added efforts of The Hours, the score was able to reach new heights“.
