Anne Dudley is scoring the upcoming comedy The Hustle. The film is directed by Chris Addison (Veep) and stars Rebel Wilson, Anne Hathaway, Alex Sharp, Tim Blake Nelson and Ingrid Oliver. The movie is a remake of 1988’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (scored by Miles Goodman) and revolves around a pair of scammers -one low-rent and the other high-class – competing to swindle a naive tech prodigy out of his fortune. Jac Schaeffer (Olaf’s Frozen Adventure) wrote the screenplay. Wilson is also producing the project with Roger Birnbaum (Rush Hour, The Magnificent Seven, While You Were Sleeping). The Hustle is set to be released in theaters nationwide on June 29, 2018 by MGM.
Dudley (The Full Monty, American History X, The Crying Game) has also recently recorded her score for Ol Parker’s musical comedy Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Julie Walters, Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Barankski, Lily James and Josh Dylan. The movie will be released in U.S. theaters on July 20, 2018 by Universal Pictures. She is also returning to score the fourth season of BBC’s Poldark, which is expected to be released this summer.
