Based on Leigh Bardugo’s worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels, Shadow and Bone  finds us in a war-torn world where the lowly soldier and orphan, Alina Starkov has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free. With the monstrous threat of the Shadow Fold looming, Alina is torn from everything she knows to train as part of an elite army of magical soldiers known as Grisha. But as she struggles to hone her power, she finds that allies and enemies can be one and the same and that nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. There are dangerous forces at play, including a crew of charismatic criminals, and it will take more than magic to survive. Shadow and Bone is a Netflix production from 21 Laps Entertainment, starring Jessie Mei Li (Alina Starkov), Archie Renaux (Malyen Oretsev), Freddy Carter (Kaz Brekker), Amita Suman (Inej), Kit Young (Jesper Fahey), and Ben Barnes (General Kirigan).

Joseph Trapanese is best known for his sleek score work for blockbuster films like Tron: Legacy, Straight Outta Compton, The Greatest Showman, Oblivion, and the Raid  series. As a composer, arranger, and producer for movie, television, theater, and video game music, he has collaborated with a number of mainstream musical acts. His first major break came in 2010 when he worked with Daft Punk on the sweeping digital soundtrack to Disney’s  Tron reboot/sequel. Trapanese followed that success by creating a score with Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park for the American release of the 2011 Indonesian martial arts film The Raid: Redemption (he would continue without Shinoda in 2014 with The Raid 2). That same year, he helped with arrangements on a handful of tracks for M83’s breakthrough hit Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, which led to the pair’s collaboration on the 2013 Tom Cruise sci-fi epic Oblivion. For 2017’s The Greatest Showman, Trapanese worked alongside Pasek & Paul and John Debney, producing songs and co-composing the score. Trapanese has also worked on Shadow and Bone (2021), Finding Ohana  (2021), Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge (2020), Project Power (2020), Lady and the Tramp (2019), Arctic (2019), Robin Hood (2018), Only the Brave  (2017), the landmark rap biopic Straight Outta Compton (2015), and the second and third installments of the Divergent series, Insurgent (2015) and Allegiant (2016). Up next, Trapanese will reunite with director Joseph Kosinski for his upcoming thriller Escape from Spiderhead, which marks their fourth collaboration in 11 years.
