Feltenstein and Nau have previously collaborated with Piedmont on his feature directorial debut Casa De Mi Padre starring Will Ferrel and the IFC series The Spoils of Babylon, which premiered earlier this year. The composers also have scored the features Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and Bachelorette for Gary Sanchez. No production start date has been announced yet for King Dork.
Nau and Feltenstein will also be scoring the second season of The Spoils of Babylon. As previously announced the composers also have the romantic comedy A Many Splintered Thing starring Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan coming up.
