Mothersbaugh’s recent projects also include the Miguel Arteta’s comedy Beatriz at Dinner starring Salma Hayek & John Lithgow. The movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last month and was picked up by Roadside Attractions and FilmNation Entertainment for domestic distribution.
They should’ve bring Henry Jackman to do the music.
I disagree. They should have stuck with Jay Vincent and Michael Kramer who composed the soundtrack for the TV series.
