Ilan Eshkeri is composing the original score for the upcoming thriller Autobahn. The film is directed by Eran Creevy (Welcome to the Punch) and stars Nicholas Hoult, Anthony Hopkins, Felicity Jones and Ben Kingsley. The movie follows a young US couple who are plunged into a game of cat-and-mouse across Germany when they find themselves caught between two ruthless criminals. F. Scott Frazier (The Numbers Station) has written the screenplay. Joel Silver (The Matrix, Die Hard, Sherlock Holmes) is producing the project with Ben Pugh & Rory Aitken (Monsters: Dark Continent), Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Sinister, Midnight Special) and Daniel Hetzer. Eshkeri has previously scored the Silver-produced 2009 film Ninja Assassin. Autobahn is currently scheduled to be released on October 30, 2015 by Relativity Media, but might be pushed back given Relativity’s current situation.
Eshkeri’s recent projects also include Aardman Animation’s Shaun the Sheep, which will be released in the U.S. on August 7 by Lionsgate.
