Composer Nathan Larson is reuniting with director Craig Johnson on the upcoming teen comedy Alex Strangelove. The film is written and directed by Johnson (Wilson) and stars Daniel Doheny, Antonio Marzial, Joanna Adler and William Ragsdale. The movie revolves around a high school senior whose quest to lose his virginity leads to a hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of modern manhood. Jared Ian Goldman (Adult Beginners, Ingrid Goes West) and Nicky Weinstock are producing the project for Ben Stiller’s Red Hour Films. Larson has previously scored Johnson’s 2014 feature The Skeleton Twins. Alex Strangelove will premiere later this year on Netflix.
As previously reported, Larson (Boys Don’t Cry, Dirty Pretty Things, A Walk in the Woods) has also recently scored the comedy Juliet, Naked starring Rose Byrne, Ethan Hawke & Chris O’Dowd. The movie premiered last month at the Sundance Film Festival and was picked up by Roadside Attractions for a theatrical release later this year.
