Benjamin Wallfisch is reuniting with David F. Sandberg on the upcoming superhero movie Shazam!. The film stars Zachary Levi in the title role, alongside Asher Angel, Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer, Grace Fulton, Faithe Herman, Ian Chen, Jovan Armand, Cooper Andrews, Rosa Vasquez and Ron Cephas Jones. The movie based on the DC Comic characters tells the story of a boy who is given the ability to become an adult superhero in times of need with a single magic word. Peter Safran (Aquaman, The Conjuring) is producing the New Line Cinema production. Wallfisch has previously collaborated with Sandberg on his last two features, Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation. Shazam! will be released on April 5, 2019 by Warner Bros. Pictures. Visit the official movie website for updates.
Wallfisch’s other upcoming projects also include Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot, the crime thriller King of Thieves starring Michael Caine, Steven Knight’s Serenity starring Matthew McConaughey & Anne Hathaway, the film adaptation of The Darkest Minds and the thriller Keepers starring Gerard Butler.
That’s sad. I was hoping for Michael Giacchino or John Powell on this one.
Wallfisch has worked with David F. Sandberg (director of SHAZAM!) on his other film projects like LIGHTS OUT and ANNABELLE: CREATION.
Powell would have been good. Giacchino is the most over rated composer on the planet IMO.
