J. Peter Robinson is scoring the upcoming thriller The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. The film is directed by Roger Donaldson and stars Nicolas Cage, January Jones, Jennifer Carpenter and Harold Perrineau. The movie centers on a man who becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization after his wife is the victim of a brutal crime. Donaldson and Robinson previously collaborated on Cocktail, Cadillac Man and most recently on 2005’s The World’s Fastest Indian starring Anthony Hopkins and 2008’s The Bank Job starring Jason Statham. No release date has been set for The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, but the Tobey Maguire-produced movie is expected to open later this year.
J. Peter Robinson has also already completed work on the upcoming sequel Blue Crush 2. The film follows a high-spirited California surfer girl that heads to South Africa to fulfill her mother’s dream of surfing Jefferys Bay. The movie is directed by Peter Elliott and stars Sasha Jackson (One Tree Hill), Sharni Vinson (Step Up 3-D) and Elizabeth Mathis (Tron: Legacy). None of the cast members of the original 2002 hit film scored by Paul Haslinger reappear. Blue Crush 2 will be released directly to Blu-Ray and DVD this June.
