Morrison, who joined the leading London animation and mixed media production company Th1ng earlier this year, won each of the three projects separately – Sleuth, As You Like It and The Magic Flute.
Morrison, whose film credits run from before his pioneering titles for Batman in 1989 to the imminent release Sweeney Todd, said: “To do three titles in a row for Kenneth Branagh has been good, as it is the first time I have worked with him.”
Sleuth, starring Jude Law and Sir Michael Caine, premiered this week to good reviews and much media interest. It was produced by Castle Rock Entertainment and is distributed in the UK by Paramount Pictures.
As You Like It was released in the UK in September and was a BBC/HBO production. And the third part of the trilogy of Morrison titled films, The Magic Flute, an adaptation of the Mozart opera, is released in the UK on November 30.
Morrison said all three titles are typographical. He creates both type-led titles, and also film sequences which use Th1ng’s animation capabilities, such as for Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd.
Morrison said: “Sleuth looks like it will definitely do very well at the box office, as could The Magic Flute.”
Dominic Buttimore, the producer who founded the Beak Street based Th1ng in 2003, said: “We knew that when we joined forces with Richard there would be lots of quality film work coming to the studio. It’s great to see three of his projects come to fruition like this.”
Richard Morrison’s previous feature film titles have included Event Horizon, High Fidelity, The Constant Gardener, Seven Years in Tibet, Dirty Pretty Things, Brazil, Gandhi, Hellraiser, The Killing Fields, A Passage to India, Memphis Belle and Quadrophenia.
Th1ng is a leading animation and mixed media production company, creating commercials, idents and title sequences for film and TV.
Th1ng is pronounced “thing one“.
