Marcelo Zarvos is composing the music for the upcoming indie comedy drama Brother’s Keeper. The film is directed by Academy Award-nominated producer Ross Katz (Lost in Translation, In the Bedroom) and stars Nick Kroll, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Joel McHale, Josh Charles and Caitlin Fitzgerald. The movie follows a young, narcissistic entrepreneur who leaves Manhattan to move in with his estranged, pregnant sister and his brother-in-law and his 3-year-old nephew, only to end up becoming their nanny. Jeff Cox (Blades of Glory) and Liz Flahive (Nurse Jackie) have written the screenplay played based on a story by Kroll, Cox and Flahive. Kroll is also producing the project with Sam Slater & Paul Bernon (Drinking Buddies), Marcus Cox & Karrie Cox and Jared Goldman. Mark & Jay Duplass (Cyrus, Jeff Who Lives at Home) serve as executive producers. Zarvos has previously scored Katz’s directorial debut Taking Chance for HBO. Brother’s Keeper is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere later this year.
Zarvos also has Barry Levinson’s drama The Humbling starring Al Pacino and Greta Gerwig coming up. The composer also continues to score Showtime’s Ray Donovan, which returns for its second season on July 13. He has also composed the music for the indie drama Little Accidents, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and was picked up Variance Films and GoDigital’s new distribution banner Amplify for a domestic release.
