Composer Mychael Danna is set to reteam with director Atom Egoyan on the upcoming psychological drama Guest of Honour. The film is written and directed by Egoyan and stars David Thewlis, Laysla De Oliveira, Luke Wilson, Rossif Sutherland and Alexandre Bourgeois. The movie centers on the relationship between a father and his 20-something year old daughter who wants to remain in jail for a sexual assault she knows she’s been wrongfully indicted for. Egoyan is also producing the project for Ego Film Arts, alongside Simone Urdl & Jennifer Weiss (Away from Her, Daydream Nation) for The Film Farm. Danna and Egoyan have previously worked on numerous features over the last 30 years, including The Sweet Hereafter, Exotica, Where the Truth Lies, Chloe and Remember. Guest of Honour is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere later this year.
Danna has also recently scored Bart Freundlich’s After the Wedding, which just premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, A Dog’s Way Home, which is currently playing in theaters and Gideon Raff’s The Red Sea Diving Resort, which will be released on Netflix later this year.
