The Most Dangerous Game
The James Whale Orchestra - Forum Groningen
Program Info: Influential adventure classic that is considered one of the founders of the adventure film genre. With live accompaniment from the James Whale Orchestra, which put the original score by composer Max Steiner in a surprising new arrangement.
In this adventure classic, an evil count hunts down castaways on a remote island. Big game hunter Bob Rainsford is the only survivor of a shipwreck. On the island that he manages to reach by swimming, an even tougher test awaits him. There, a certain Count Zaroff enjoys himself hunting for... castaways. Together with Eve, another victim of the Count, Bob flees into the jungle. With the only weapon: his own ingenuity.
The film's spectacular sets would later be reused for King Kong , while a significant portion of the cast and crew also worked on both adventure classics. James Whale Orchestra
The James Whale Orchestra combines cool American minimalism, bluegrass and its own unique romanticism. The music is precisely synchronized to underline the film, using advanced music production technology in combination with live soloists for an immersive 'orchestral' experience.
Founded in 2019, the JWO's unique concept of combining live soloists with music production technology has achieved rapid success. The orchestra has regularly appeared at the Leiden International Film Festival, Northern Film Festival, EYE Amsterdam, and many other theaters at home and abroad. At the Northern Film Festival 2023, the JWO won an audience award ' Best of Festival ' for their production ' Blackmail '.
