Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat has scored the music for Netflix’s “Nyad.”
Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, “Nyad” stars Annette Bening as Diana Nyad, an athlete, who at 60, achieves her lifelong dream of finishing the 110-mile open ocean swim from Cuba to Florida. Julia Cox penned the screenplay.
In a statement to Variety, Desplat said, “Chai and Jimmy’s direction is very strong. They managed brilliantly to make you share the dangers and emotions that Diana Nyad goes through in her incredible challenge. And the friendship between Diana, Bonnie (Jodie Foster), and the crew reveals a beautiful human experience.”
Desplat, whose credits include “The Shape of Water,” “Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio” and “Grand Budapest Hotel,” prefers the organic approach. He said, “The more I compose for films, the more I try to enter into the screen, as if I was another actor playing on the set with the cast.
