Exclusive: Deadline has an exclusive track recorded for Netflix’s Russian Doll, which is set for digital release on a Seasons 1 & 2 soundtrack tomorrow via Gardener Recordings, as the show returns for its second season.
In its first season, debuting in 2019, Russian Doll introduced viewers to a woman named Nadia (Natasha Lyonne), who is caught in a time loop as the guest of honor at a seemingly inescapable party, one night in New York City. She dies repeatedly, and always restarts at the same moment at the party, as she tries to figure out what is happening to her.
Season 2 is set four years after Nadia and her fellow looping human Alan (Charlie Barnett) discover a time portal that sends them both on an era-spanning adventure through the past. Now, once again, the two must search for a way out of the loop together. Wong’s latest soundtrack release features dream-like...

When composer Nate Heller was asked to score A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, he says he felt “equal parts joy, excitement and terror,” knowing that the music he’d create would have to stand up to the legacy of Fred Rogers.
“He was an extremely musical person. He wrote all the original songs for the show, which his bandleader Johnny Costa arranged for him and put his magic to,” Heller explains. “So, I think I felt this cautious excitement about, ‘Ooh, this is going to be so fun, to tuck into this project with all of this beloved music.’”
Directed by the composer’s sister, Marielle Heller, A Beautiful Day tells the true story of the unlikely friendship that unfolds between the beloved children’s television host and a cynical Esquire journalist sent to profile him, on the Pittsburgh set of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

The TriStar release tells the true story of the friendship that developed between Fred Rogers (Tom Hanks) and journalist Tom Junod (here fictionalized as Lloyd Vogel and played by Matthew Rhys), who in 1998 wrote a profile on the children’s TV star for Esquire.

We need Mr. Rogers now more than ever. One look at the news not only confirms that, but can easily lead to despair. Last May, when I gave a rave review to the biographical documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, I included this notion on social media: “Television gave us the Kardashians and Trump, but it also gave us Fred Rogers.” The yin to the yang that is the awfulness in this world, Rogers has a special and unsullied place in our culture. To capture him in a narrative film would take an incredibly soft touch. Not every filmmaker could do it. Luckily, everyone involved in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was more than up to the task. In just a few days, you’ll all be able to see just how amazing it is. This is one of the year’s very best works. The film is a drama,...

What do you think of the idea of the beloved Little Women — Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy — as material girls?
On today’s Sony Pictures panel at Deadline’s The Contenders Los Angeles, Little Women writer-director Greta Gerwig said she wanted to bring out the power of money over women’s choices in Little Women’s Victorian Era.
Gerwig appeared on the panel with producer Amy Pascal and actor Florence Pugh, who portrays aspiring painter Amy. She said the film’s emphasis on the fact that women had no opportunity to earn their own money in that time period helps an audience understand Amy, who wants to be an artist but also aspires to marry a wealthy man.
“(Amy) finally gets a moment to explain herself…Amy is realistic. At no point do you hate her for her decisions,” Gerwig said.

Few composers have as close a relationship with their directors as Nate Heller does with Marielle Heller, who happens to be his big sister. “One of the benefits of that is I’m able to sort of see what’s coming down the pike for her,” he explains. So when she signed on to helm “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” he got “a look at the script” earlier than usual. Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Lovable characters don’t always have to be likable. In the case of Can You Ever Forgive Me, you can make the case that our two main characters are fairly bad people. At the same time, you do quickly come to care deeply for them. That’s a credit to lead Melissa McCarthy, as well as Richard E. Grant, who arguably steals the show. This true life dramedy mines some occasionally grimy territory, but the two actors consistently rise above it all. One could make the case that both are doing their career best work here. Hitting theaters this week, this Fox Searchlight film might be an Oscar force to be reckoned with. More on that later, but this is quite a good flick. The movie is a biographical dramedy, adapting Lee Israel’s memoir of the same name. Lee (McCarthy) used to be a successful author, known for disappearing into the her biographies.

The path to becoming a composer for film scores is not standard by any means, and Nate Heller took an interesting journey. While studying music production techniques and interning at University of California, San Diego in his 20s, he started touring the country nationally with his band Wendy Darling, and soon the group landed a record deal. From there, the band's music was used in both film and television, and Heller seized the opportunity to carve out a new musical career. This month, his work can be heard in the critically acclaimed, Sundance and Berlin winning "The Diary Of A Teenage Girl," his first credited film score. Today we have some exclusive cuts to share.
