Mark Mothersbaugh is composing the original score for the upcoming comedy drama Brad’s Status. The film is written and directed by Mike White (School of Rock, Nacho Libre, Year of the Dog) and stars Ben Stiller, Michael Sheen, Luke Wilson, Jenna Fischer and Austin Abrams. The movie follows a father who takes his son to tour colleges on the East Coast and meets up with an old friend who makes him feel inferior about his life’s choices. White is also producing the project with Brad Pitt & Dede Gardner (12 Years a Slave, Moonlight, The Big Short) for Plan B Entertainment, David Bernard (The D Train, Magic Magic), as well as Sidney Kimmel Entertainment. Mothersbaugh has previously scored the White-produced HBO show Enlightened. Brad’s Status will be released on September 15, 2017 by Amazon Studios and Annapurna Pictures.
Mothersbaugh’s upcoming projects also include Thor: Ragnarok and The Lego Ninjago Movie. He also recently scored Miguel Arteta’s Beatriz at Dinner, which is now playing in select theaters.
What is the instrumental music that plays in the first half of the movie? I have checked out every song listed in the official OST and that piece of music is not included.
