Harry Gregson-Williams has been hired to score the upcoming Disneynature documentary Penguins. The film is directed by Alastair Fothergill (Earth, African Cats, Chimpanzee), co-directed by Mark Linfield and Jeff Wilson and tells the coming-of-age story about an Adélie penguin named Steve who joins millions of fellow males in the icy Antarctic spring on a quest to build a suitable nest, find a life partner and start a family. The directors are also producing the project with Keith Scholey and Roy Conli. Gregson-Williams has previously scored Disneynature’s 2015 feature Monkey Kingdom directed by Linfield & Fothergill. Penguins is set to be released on April 19, 2019 by Walt Disney Pictures. Visit the official movie website for updates.
Gregson-Williams also has Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 2 and the shark thriller The Meg coming up. He also scored Simon Baker’s feature directorial debut Breath, which premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival and will be released in select U.S. theaters on June 8, 2018.
