BSX DIGITAL presents music composed by Kevin Kiner (STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH, PEACEMAKER, STAR WARS: AHSOKA) from the documentary film MARTIAN MANIA: THE TRUE STORY OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. Directed by Melissa Jo Peltier, written by Peltier and W.W. Weiner, hosted by director James Cameron.

 

MARTIAN MANIA: THE TRUE STORY OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS explores the impact of Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater On The Air players when they staged a dramatic radio adaptation of the classic H.G. Wells novel over Halloween, 1938. Alleged to have caused a panic among listeners, just exactly how big the reaction has been contested for decades, with some suspecting that the newspapers simply magnified the level of terror because they saw radio as a thief stealing their much-needed advertising revenue. The documentary also explores the creation of the radio drama during the second season of Mercury Theater On The Air. Interviewed in the documentary are several people who listened to THE WAR OF THE WORLDS during the original live broadcast, including radio and TV personality Steve Allen.

 

Prolific composer Kevin Kiner began his film music career in 1985, scoring a number of television projects, including all 100+ episodes of the syndicated 1988-92 superhero TV series SUPERBOY. His subsequent, mostly television, endeavors range from animated STAR WARS series such as THE CLONE WARS and THE BAD BATCH, Westerns and cop TV shows like WALKER, TEXAS RANGER, CSI: MIAMI and NARCOS: MEXICO, and DC superhero shows such as DOOM PATROL, PEACEMAKER and TITANS.

 

BSX Digital presents the premiere release of MARTIAN MANIA: THE TRUE STORY OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, featuring music composed by Kevin Kiner. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and includes new liner notes by writer David Hirsch.
