Composer George Fenton (Dangerous Liaisons, Groundhog Day, Hitch, The Blue Planet) is reuniting with director Ken Loach on the upcoming drama Sorry We Missed You. The film starring Kris Hitchen, Debbie Honeywood, Katie Proctor and Rhys Stone explores the issue of hardship in modern-day Britain through the story of a young couple scraping to get by in a casual jobs market. Paul Laverty (Even the Rain) wrote the screenplay and Rebecca O’Brien (You Were Never Really Here) is producing the project. Fenton has previously scored most of Loach’s features over the last two decades including The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Jimmy’s Hall and I, Daniel Blake. Sorry We Missed You is expected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month.
Fenton has also recently scored the Liam Neeson-starring thriller Cold Pursuit, which is currently playing in theaters. He also composed the music for the British thriller Red Joan starring Judi Dench & Sophie Cookson. The movie premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival and will be released in select U.S. theaters this weekend by IFC Films.
