Carter Burwell is scoring the upcoming biographical drama Goodbye Christopher Robin. The film is directed by Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn, Woman in Gold) and stars Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Will Tilston, Kelly Macdonald, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Alex Lawther. The movie revolves around the relationship between Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne and his son Robin, who initially had a difficult relationship with his father, and served as the inspiration for the character of Christopher Robin. Frank Cottrell (The Railway Man, Millions) and Simon Vaughan (Watership Down, War & Peace) wrote the screenplay. Damian Jones (The Iron Lady, Belle, The Lady in the Van) and Steve Christian are producing the project. Goodbye Christopher Robin is set to be released on November 10, 2017 by Fox Searchlight.
Burwell’s other upcoming projects also include Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which will be released on October 13 by Fox Searchlight. He also scored Todd Haynes’ Wonderstruck, which recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and will be released in theaters on October 20 by Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions.
