Rael Jones (Harlots, My Cousin Rachel, Kids in Love, The Salisbury Poisonings) has been hired to score the upcoming British drama Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. The film is directed by Anthony Fabian (Louder Than Words, Skin) and stars Lesley Manville, Isabelle Huppert, Jason Isaacs, Lambert Wilson, Lucas Bravo and Alba Baptista. The movie is based on Paul Gallico’s novella and tells the story of a widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London who falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress, and embarks on an adventure to Paris to get one of her own. Fabian also co-wrote the screenplay with Carroll Cartwright (What Maisie Knew) and Keith Thompson (The Sapphires, Introducing the Dwights), with additional writing by Olivia Hetreed (Girl with a Pearl Earring). The director is also producing the project with Xavier Marchand (Clean) and Guillaume Benski (A Good Woman Is Hard to Find, Accident). Jones has previously scored the Marchand-produced feature Suite Francaise. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is currently in post-production and is set to be released in U.S. theaters on March 4, 2022 by Focus Features.
Jones’ other recent projects include Shoplifters of the World, which was just released in the U.S. earlier this year and Ryan Andrew Hooper’s The Toll, which premiered at this year’s Glasgow Film Festival and is awaiting a release date.
