Film Music Reporter has learned that Carter Burwell has been hired to score the comedy The Kids Are All Right. The movie had its premiere at this year’s Sundance film festival. The movie originally had a score by Nathan Larson and Craig Wedren and Burwell has stepped in to provide a score for the nationwide release in July by Focus Features. No word yet if any of Larson’s and Wedren’s score will stay in the picture. The movie centers around two children conceived by artificial insemination who bring their birth father into their family life. The movie directed by Lisa Cholodenko (Laurel Canyon) stars Julianne Moore, Anette Bening, Mark Ruffalo and Mia Wasikowska.
Burwell also has the biographical drama Howl coming up. The movie also premiered at this year’s Sundance film festival and is awaiting a distribution deal. Howl centers around the obscenity trial Allen Ginsberg faced after the publication of his poem, Howl. The movie directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman stars James Franco, Jon Hamm, Mary Louise-Parker, David Strathhairn and Jeff Daniels.
