Composer Jon Ekstrand has teamed up with Carl-Johan Sevedag (aka OA) of the Swedish electronic pop duo Cape Lion to co-score the upcoming survival thriller Horizon Line. The film is directed by Mikael Marcimain (Call Girl, Gentlemen) and stars Allison Williams, Alexander Dreymon and Keith David. The movie follows a young woman who travelling to a friend’s tropical island wedding on a small single-engine plane, when the pilot suffers a heart attack and herself and the only other passenger, her ex-boyfriend, are forced to work together to stay airborne long enough to find land. Josh Campbell & Matthew Stuecken (10 Cloverfield Lane) wrote the screenplay. Fredrik Wikström Nicastro is producing the project and Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows, Jungle Cruise) serves as an executive producer. Ekstrand (Life, Child 44, Queen of Hearts) has previously collaborated with the producer on several features, including Borg vs. McEnroe and the Easy Money movies. Horizon Line is set to be released in the U.S. in early 2021 by STX Entertainment. Visit the official movie website for updates.
Ekstrand has also recently recorded his score for Daniel Espinosa’s superhero movie Morbius, which is currently scheduled to be released in theaters on March 19, 2021 by Sony Pictures. His other recent projects include the documentary I Am Greta, which will premiere in the U.S. this Friday, November 13 on Hulu.
