Varese Sarabande will release a soundtrack album for the British comedy Bill. The album features the film’s original music composed by Andrew Hewitt (The Double, The Stanford Prison Experiment, Submarine). The soundtrack will be released digitally on September 18, 2015 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Bill is directed by Richard Bracewell and stars Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond. The movie tells the story of what really happened during Shakespeare’s ‘Lost Years’ and how hopeless lute player Bill Shakespeare leaves his family and home to follow his dream.
