Jeff Danna has taken over scoring duties on the crime drama The Convincer. He is replacing Alex Wurman who had completed a score for the film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January. The movie is directed by Jill Sprecher (Thirteen Conversations on One Thing) and stars Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, Billy Crudup and Lea Thompson. The film follows a desperate insurance salesman whose scheme to get a hold of a rare violin leads to unforeseen consequences. Deadline reported in March that ATO Pictures is a wrapping up a domestic distribution deal for the drama, but no announcement has been made since and The Convincer is still awaiting a release date.
Danna is having a busy year with two other feature projects coming up. As reported in April, the composer is also scoring Pascal Laugier’s mystery thriller The Tall Man starring Jessica Biel and the action thriller The Killing Game starring Kellan Lutz, Nina Dobrev and Samuel L. Jackson.
