“This is an amazing story,” Blanchard said of Da 5 Bloods. “And again, Spike Lee has found a way to take an American tale and turn it into a visually stunning, artistic work of art.”

He continued: “In doing so, he has pushed me to reach farther in my orchestrations and in my thematic development.  It was such a pleasure creating music to accompany a story that addresses our individual humanity and the immorality of the Vietnam War.”

Last year, Lee earned his first-ever competitive Oscar for 2018’s BlacKkKlansman, taking home the Best Adapted Screenplay award.

The director recently spoke out against the decision to open cinemas in Georgia, USA amid the coronavirus crisis, calling for more testing instead.
