It's not every day that we get asked to work on a
Western. In my 35-year career, this is my fi rst

some shoot 'em up; News of the World is a real
character-driven story of two lost souls who fi nd
each other after the horrors of the Civil War and
form an unlikely bond. So, it was exciting when I
was contacted about working on this project and
to fi nd out that Paul Greengrass was going to
write and direct, was just icing on the cake.
