Directed by Emmy-award winning journalist, Alexandra Dean, produced by Adam Haggiag, and executive produced by Susan Sarandon, Bombshell tells the true story of Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr. Known for her matchless beauty and electrifying screen persona, few of Lamarr’s fans knew she possessed such an incredible mind. Dean’s exploration reveals how the actress was not only an onscreen talent, but also one of the world's greatest scientific innovators. You see, Lamarr is credited as an inventor of secure Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS – a fact virtually nobody knows. Using never before heard recordings, this film documents Lamarr’s remarkable story in her own words.
Los Angeles-based composer duo, Keegan Dewitt and Jeremy Bullock, were brought in to take on the score. They crafted an elegant and understated musical backdrop to help tell the story of Hedy’s wild and totally original life.
Music supervising this project was an inspirational process. It marked our first creative collaboration with NYC based supervisor, Karl Westman. Karl’s knowledge and understanding of music was a joy to work alongside.
Bombshell hit US cinema screens on Friday 24th November, and will open in the UK on 8 March 2018.
