Silver Screen Stories: Exploring Heroic Tales and Fantasy Lore
On October 25, 2014, the much-loved Saturday Night at the Movies show is set to enchant listeners with a special fairy tale-themed edition. This enchanting programme has been requested by listener David in Scunthorpe and will be presented by none other than Howard Goodall, who is also marking the start of Arts and Kids Week.
The fairy tale-themed show will include music from films like "Mirror Mirror", a popular fairy tale retelling. Alongside this, music related to characters such as Superman and Spiderman will be featured, but it's important to note that this show does not involve new scores from "Fury" or "The Imitation Game".
Steven Price, the composer of "Fury"'s haunting score, primarily worked on the music in London, and the soundtrack was released in 2014. The fairy tale-themed show, however, is separate from the "How I wrote Fury by Steven Price" article.
The show on October 25, 2014, will potentially feature music from various fairy tale films, making it a delightful treat for listeners of all ages. It's also worth mentioning that another listener, Ian in Edinburgh, requested a show about heroes, which may be scheduled for a future date.
"Fury", pictured, is a movie starring Brad Pitt, and Benedict Cumberbatch plays World War II codebreaker Alan Turing in "The Imitation Game". These films, however, will not be part of the fairy tale-themed show on October 25, 2014.
Tune in to Saturday Night at the Movies on October 25, 2014, at 5pm, for an evening filled with magical melodies from the world of fairy tales in film, all as part of Arts and Kids Week.
