George Clooney is well-known for giving his hundred percent when it comes to filmmaking. The 59-year-old actor recently revealed that he collaborated with the Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat for developing the background score for The Midnight Sky.

The actor noted that he worked with a little girl in this movie, Caoilinn Springall, who portrayed a mute girl's character.

Clooney explained when a character doesn't speak, it automatically takes out a lot of words from the performance and the only way to deliver a power pack act was with the help of a score in the background. The actor further admitted that his intention to create this movie was "meditation" and asked the musician to write down more music compared to other projects.

The actor further explained that music is one of the languages in the film as the characters are not going to communicate with the help of words. In fact, the actor said that music is one of the characters between the old man and the young girl.

"I thought this was an opportunity for us to do something where the music is a character a central character in the film, not just highlighting moments of sadness or terror but also carrying the emotion all the way through from the very beginning," he added.

Desplat agreed with Clooney and said that it was challenging for him as the music was supposed to be created not only for Earth but also for space. However, Clooney disclosed that they couldn't work together in person due to the ongoing pandemic, but they used to virtual medium to communicate.
