Wild Target

Bill Nighy is Victor Maynard, a middle-aged, solitary assassin, who lives to please his formidable mother, Louisa (Eileen Atkins), despite his own peerless reputation for lethal efficiency. His professional routine is interrupted when he finds himself drawn to one of his intended victims, Rose (Emily Blunt). He spares her life, unexpectedly acquiring a young apprentice in the process, Tony (Rupert Grint). Believing Victor to be a private detective, his two new companions tag along, while he attempts to thwart the murderous attentions of his unhappy client (Rupert Everett).

 “Wild Target” has fast, quippy dialogue and exactly the right actors to drive it home” – ST PAULS PIONEER PRESS

 “A quirky romantic comedy thriller with lashings of irony and uncompromising humour” – MOVIE GAZETTE

SEG worked closely with the film team to put together a lively selection of source music for the film including songs from Regina Spektor, Yael Naim, Fishtank Ensemble, new recordings from Imelda May and a mellow jazz piece by SEG’s Mike McEvoy.

The gypsy music style score was composed by Michael Price, which perfectly compliments the energy and hectic pace of the film.

In addition SEG negotiated and finalised a soundtrack deal for the film with Sony Music.
