Composer Larry Groupé is reuniting with director Rod Lurie on the upcoming drama The Outpost. The film starring Scott Eastwood, Orlando Bloom, Caleb Landry Jones, Kwame Patterson and Cory Hardrict is based on Jake Tapper’s 2013 book of the same title and chronicles the true story of the 53 U.S. soldiers who battled a force of some 400 enemy insurgents in northeastern Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Paul Tamasy & Eric Johnson (The Fighter, The Finest Hours) wrote the screenplay. Lurie and Tamasy are also producing the Millennium Media and York Films production with Paul Merryman, Marc Frydman (Stonewall), Jeffrey Greenstein & Jonathan Yunger (Security, 211). Groupé has previously scored most of Lurie’s directorial efforts, including The Contender, Resurrecting the Champ, Nothing But the Truth and Straw Dogs, as well as his ABC series Commander-in-Chief. The Outpost is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere later this year.
