Eric Neveux (The Insult, The Attack, A Stork’s Journey, ZombillenniumSpirou & Fantasio’s Big Adventures) has been tapped to score the upcoming animated feature SamSam. The film  directed by Tanguy de Kermel is based on the comic books created by Serge Bloch and the animated TV series of the same title and follows the title character as he is conscientiously seeking his first-ever superpower but is winding up empty-handed every time. Didier Brunner (The Triplets of Belleville, Ernest & Celestine) & Damien Brunner (Pachama, The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales…) and Gaëtan David (The Source) are producing the Folivari production. No release date has been announced yet for SamSam.

The composer has also recently scored the drama The Illegal directed by Danish Renzu and starring Suraj Sharma, Shweta Tripathi, Adil Hussain and Iqbal Theeba. A release later this year is expected. Also coming up for Neveux is the French drama The Breitner Commando (Qu’un sang impur…) directed by Abdel Raouf Dafri and starring Johan Heldenbergh, Olivier Gourmet, Linh Dan Pham, Pierre Lottin, Salim Kechiouche, Hichem Yacoubi, Lyna Khoudri and Aida Al Anfassi.
