WARRIORS OF HEAVEN AND HEARTH Teaser Description (MonkeyPeaches Exclusive)
June 4, 2003

An anonymous fan, just sent me a note claiming he/she has watched the theatrical teaser of WARRIORS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH:

Just wanted to let you guys know that I've just seen the theatrical teaser trailer to Warriors of Heaven and Earth - it will be transferred to film and shown in theaters in China. I think the release date on the end of the trailer was early July (single digits), but I can't remember exactly.

The trailer is very brief and doesn't show much action, only a little bit of fighting. Basically, it shows each of the major characters and some of the cinematography, which looks good. It looks more like a war movie and doesn't seem too likely to have much wire work or a lot of FX, but that's just my impression based on this short teaser. I didn't get to hear the voiceover track or music but was told it's starts with English and transitions to Mandarin.

According to Beijing Morning Post, director He Ping told the paper the scores of the film was composted by A.R. Rahman (LAGAAN: ONCE UPON A TIME IN INDIA) and the music will be performed by London Symphony Orchestra.

WARRIORS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH is produced by Huayi Taihe Brothers, Xi'an Film Studio and SONY Pictures (Columbia)'s Asian branch.

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra to Collaborate with Bollywood Star

Birmingham's bid to be crowned European Capital of Culture 2008 has received a major boost from the biggest name in the Indian music industry.

A R Rahman, yesterday announced details of a collaboration with the world famous City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

The Bollywood superstar will compose an orchestral piece, which will receive its world premiere in July, 2004, and conduct an autumn concert for the CBSO featuring his Bollywood film music.

"It was while I was at the Birmingham Film and Television Festival 2000 that I met people involved in the music industry in Birmingham and was encouraged to write a piece with the CBSO," he said.

"I love the different cultures that Birmingham has and this collaboration provides a bridge between the East and West nations at an important time in history. I chose Birmingham because of its rich diversity and the friendly people.

"I would very much like to see Birmingham become Capital of Culture — it seems to be the only place in Britain where different cultures live happily alongside each other."

As well as a year-long festival of arts and sport in 2008, winning the European culture crown is expected to kick-start an economic boost worth at least £150 million and to create more than 10,000 jobs.

The orchestral work will be based on The Conference of the Birds , a 12th century Persian poem by Farid Uddin Attar from Nishapur.

A R Rahman will also be conducting projects involving young people in a continuing collaboration with the CBSO between now and Birmingham's intended year as European Capital of Culture in 2008.

Rahman has achieved superstar status through his Bollywood music and is reported to be the world's biggest selling living artist — with more than 40 million albums of his own and many more tapes of film music sold.

His first major work outside India was for Andrew Lloyd Webber, writing the score for the West End musical Bombay Dreams — which is now set to open on Broadway.

Andrew Lloyd Webber said: "A R Rahman is nothing short of a melodic genius. It has been thrilling to watch London theatre-goers embrace Bombay Dreams with such fervour."

After starting to learn the piano, aged four, Allah Rakha Rahman started work as a keyboard player, aged 11.

Following a teenage musical career, he earned a scholarship to Trinity College of Music in Oxford and a degree in Western classical music.

He made a name for himself back home in Chennai, southern India, writing and producing advertising jingles, but his career took off writing music for Indian blockbuster films.

He said: "Art is the only way to transcend our different cultures and I am very excited to be involved in this project. I will be composing the piece over the next six months between Birmingham, New York — where Bombay Dreams goes to Broadway — and my present home in Madras."

A.R. Rahman Scores for Chinese Film - Warriors of Heaven and Earth
By: Vijay Venkataramanan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


While it is a given that A.R. Rahman will be composing the music for Mani Ratnam´s upcoming bilingual film (titled "Yuva" in Hindi and "Ayutha Ezhuthu" in Tamil), another film that his fans will be eagerly awaiting is one that isn´t made in India. As a matter of fact, Rahman is the only Indian connection to "Warriors of Heaven and Earth," a Chinese epic-scale period film that is being readied for release by Sony Pictures Classics/Columbia Tristar. The film about the historical silk route is directed by famed Chinese filmmaker He Peng and is a big budget action epic with elaborately choreographed battle sequences. Along with the background score, Rahman has also composed a song of which he has recorded both Chinese and English versions.
Could Indians ask for a better ambassador?
