Composer Daniel Hart is reuniting with director David Lowery on the upcoming fantasy adventure The Green Knight. The film is written and directed by Lowery and stars Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Barry Keoghan and Ralph Ineson. The movie is based on the timeless Arthurian legend and tells the story of Sir Gawain, King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. The director is also producing the project with Toby Halbrooks & James M. Johnston (Listen Up Philip, Never Goin’ Back) for their Sailor Bear production company, alongside Tim Headington (Hugo, The Tourist) and Theresa Steele Page (Miss Juneteenth) for Ley Line Entertainment. Hart has previously scored all of Lowery’s previous features, including St. Nick, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Pete’s Dragon, A Ghost Story and The Old Man & the Gun. The Green Knight will be released in theaters on May 29, 2020 by A24.
Hart is also expected to score the second season of Netflix’s The Society, which is set to debut later this year.
