Steve Jablonsky is currently scoring the upcoming action drama Lone Survivor. The film is written and directed by Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, Hancock) and stars Mark Wahlberg, Eric Bana, Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch and Taylor Kitsch. The movie is based on the book Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell and tells the true story of a group of Navy SEAL members who fought to stay alive after being ambushed in Afghanistan in 2005 by Taliban forces during a covert mission in the Hindu Kush mountain region. Berg and Wahlberg are producing the project with Sarah Aubrey (Bad Santa, Lars and the Real Girl), Randall Emmett (16 Blocks, Broken City), Steven Levinson (Contraband), Norton Herrick (The Devil’s Double) Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend) and Barry Spikings (The Deer Hunter). Jablonsky has previously collaborated with Berg on the director’s last feature Battleship. Lone Survivor is currently in post production and is expected to be released towards the end of this year by Universal Pictures.
Jablonsky’s most recent project Pain & Gain directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg & Dwayne Johnson is currently playing in theaters. As previously reported, the composer is also scoring the Fox drama pilot The List directed by Ruben Fleischer.
Great to see Barry Spikings back in the game. A good chap.
