EXCLUSIVE: Paul Hudson’s Los Angeles-based Outsider Pictures is talking to buyers in Cannes about the documentary Copeland, a Spanish production about Stewart Copeland, the composer and former drummer with The Police.
Pablo Aragüés directs the Redwood Films production, which will receive its world premiere at Huesca International Film in Spain in June.
The film opens on Copeland performing in a festival in Italy, where he recalls his life and career, from his childhood in Beirut where he was raised by his CIA agent father and archaeologist mother, before he moved to London during the 1970s punk explosion and formed The Police with Sting and Andy Summers.
After a decade of chart-topping success, Copeland segued into composing film scores such as Francis Ford Coppola’s Rumble Fish and Oliver Stone’s Wall Street.
He went on to work with Ken Loach, George Miller, and Peter Berg and scored video games, before composing operas, choral works and symphonies.
Tarquin Gotch, Shawn Rhodes and John Alexander serve as executive producers.
