A {well-advised} Lunch with Rod Lurie and Larry Groupé |
Friday, April 5 | 12-1:15pm | JS415, East Studio Building
Enjoy lunch and learn about the collaborative careers of writer/director Rod Lurie and composer and Jacobs professor Larry Groupé.
The director-composer relationship is a critical one in filmmaking. There are many long-term, well-known collaborators: Steven Spielberg and John Williams, Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann, Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman, and so on. The artistic conception, planning, sketching, and shaping that go into an original score for a film is a unique dramatic journey for the composer and director alike. The collaborative process is always re-invented for each project, with all film scores starting from nothing.
Rod Lurie is an Israeli-American director, screenwriter and former film critic. Joining the ranks of movie critics-turned-directors, Rod Lurie earned his Hollywood stripes by guiding Joan Allen and Jeff Bridges to Oscar nominations in only his second feature, The Contender. Lurie’s works showcase frequent collaboration with Larry Groupé.
Larry Groupé is visiting professor of composition: music scoring for visual media at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. One of the most talented and versatile composers in the entertainment industry today, he enjoys an impressive musical resume in film and television as well as on the concert stage, and his achievements have received both critical praise and popular acclaim. Some of his most recent film scores include “Straw Dogs,” starring James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, and Alexander Skarsgård, which won a Global Music Award (2012); “Nothing but the Truth,” starring Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon, and Alan Alda, a compelling political drama about first-amendment rights; and “Resurrecting the Champ,” starring Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Hartnett. All collaborations were with writer-director Rod Lurie. Perhaps most notably, Groupé wrote the score for “The Contender,” starring Joan Allen, Gary Oldman, and Jeff Bridges, a highly regarded political drama written and directed by Lurie, which received multiple Academy Award nominations. Currently, Groupé is composing a new score about the John Hinkley assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan.
