Jonny Greenwood Shares “West” and “25 Years” from The Power of the Dog Soundtrack: Stream
As if being a founding member of Radiohead weren’t enough, Jonny Greenwood is one of the most sought-after film score composers in the biz.

Close Calls and Misfires: Before Alec Baldwin Shooting, Armorer and AD Had History of Safety Issues
Last Thursday, a prop gun fired by Alec Baldwin killed Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and while law enforcement officials are still looking into the matter, her tragic death is thought to have been an accident brought about by oversights from armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who prepared the weapon, and assistant director (AD) Dave Halls, who declared the weapon safe and handed it to Baldwin.
