The film is directed by Jean-Francois Richet (Assault on Precint 13, Mesrine: Part 1 & 2) and stars Mel Gibson, Elisabeth Rohm, William H. Macy, Diego Luna, Thomas Mann and Erin Moriarty. The movie is based on the novel of the same title by Peter Craig (The Town, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) and  follows an ex-con who reunites with his estranged 16-year-old daughter, and vows to protect her from the drug dealers who are trying to kill her. Craig has also written the screenplay and Chris Briggs (Hostel, Shark Night 3D) is producing the project with Pascal Caucheteux (A Prophet, Rust and Bone). Faulconer has previously written additional music for several scores by James Newton Howard, including Nightcrawler, The Green Hornet and Pawn Sacrifice and also co-scored Dell’s and Intel’s social film What Lives Inside with the composer. Blood Father will be distributed in the U.S. by Lionsgate and is currently awaiting a release date.
