Liverpool's famous 2005 Champions League win inspires new film, with music composed by woman from Bath

A film composer originally from Bath has composed the original score for her first feature-length film.

The British film called One Night In Istanbul, based on Liverpool FC's famous Champions League triumph in 2005, has been composed by Charlotte Partt.

The film will be released worldwide on September 14 and she has previously written music for TV, and award winning short films.

On May 25 nine years ago, a Steve Gerrard-inspired Liverpool team clawed back a 3-0 half-time deficit, to draw 3-3 before winning the Champions League on penalties against AC Milan in Istanbul.

The film has been adapted from a Liverpool playwrighters hit stage play, which remains Liverpool's Empire Theatre fastest selling show.

Charlotte, 25, became interested in music score at the age of 12, becoming fascinated by the work of John Williams.

The film is directed by James Marquand, and produced by Stray Dogs Films. Click below to watch the official trailer.

On working on her debut feature length film, she said: "Getting the opportunity to work with Jim (Marquand), and the rest of the Stray Dogs crew has been a epic music based adventure.

"The film itself not only appeals to football fans, but also to those who love a true British comedy.

"The cast and crew have done an amazing job with it, and I can't wait for it to be released."

The film will star Paul Barber (Only Fools & Horses, The Full Monty), and Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow, The Parole Officer), and it follows two down-on-their- luck Liverpool taxi drivers.

The two cab drivers, Tommy and Gerry, strike an unusual deal with a local gangster to take their sons on the trip of a Liverpool fan's dream - to watch the side play against AC Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul.

One Night in Istanbul will be shown at UK Odeon cinemas from September 11.
