Ludwig Göransson and Theodore Shapiro are co-scoring the upcoming comedy We’re the Millers. The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber and stars Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudekis, Emma Roberts, Ed Helms, Will Poulter and Kathryn Hahn. The movie follows a veteran pot dealer who creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. from Mexico. Tucker Tooley & Vincent Newman (A Man Apart, Felon), Happy Walters and David Heyman (Harry Potter series, I Am Legend) are producing the New Line Cinema production. Shapiro has previously scored the director’s first two features Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. We’re the Millers is set to be released on August 9, 2013 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Göransson is also currently finishing up his score for the indie drama Fruitvale starring Michael B. Jordan, Octavia Spencer and Kevin Durand. The movie has been selected to premiere in competition at the Sundance Film Festival later this month. The composer is also scoring Fox’s New Girl, ABC’s Happy Endings, as well as the highly anticipated fourth season of the NBC comedy Community, which will be premiering on February 7.
Shapiro’s upcoming projects include Ben Stiller’s fantasy comedy The Secret Life of Walter Mitty starring Stiller, Kristen Wiig and Shirley MacLaine.
