John Debney has signed on to score the upcoming thriller Dream House. The film is directed by Jim Sheridan (In America, My Left Foot) and stars Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts. The movie centers on a successful publisher who quits his job in New York City and relocates his wife and two daughters to a quaint New England town, only to discover that their perfect new home was the murder scene of a mother and her two children. Among the project’s producers are Ehren Kruger (screenwriter of The Ring), David Bobker (The Skeleton Key) and James G. Robinson & David Robinson for Morgan Creek Productions. The script is by David Loucka and Caleb Deschanel (The Passion of the Christ) is the film’s cinematographer. Dream House is Debney’s first collaboration with Sheridan. He has previously scored Garry Marshall’s dramedy Georgia Rule for Morgan Creek. The thriller will be released by Universal Pictures on September 30, 2011.
As previously reported, Debney also has the comedy The Change-Up starring Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde, the thriller The Double starring Richard Gere and Topher Grace and Garry Marshall’s ensemble romantic comedy New Year’s Eve coming up.
Does the man EVER turn down a job?
I’m glad he didn’t in this case. This sounds like his most interesting assignment since last summer in a genre that he hasn’t been working in too often, so I’m definitely excited.
