Composer David Arnold (Independence Day, Casino Royale, Stargate, Sherlock, Tomorrow Never Dies, Shaft, Die Another Day, Godzilla) is reuniting with director Greg Mottola on the upcoming comedy Confess, Fletch. The movie is based on the second novel of Gregory Mcdonald’s 1970s mystery novel series (which has previously been adapted into the Harold-Faltermeyer-scored 80s features Fletch & Fletch Lives) and stars Jon Hamm, Marcia Gay Harden, Kyle MacLachlan, Roy Wood Jr., John Slattery, Annie Mumolo, Ayden Mayeri and Lorenza Izzo. The movie follows an investigative journalist who finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation, in which he is pinned as the prime suspect. Zev Borow wrote the screenplay. Hamm is also producing the Miramax production with Bill Block (Halloween, Bad Moms) and Connie Tavel (Judging Amy, Then She Found Me). Arnold has previously collaborated with Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland) on the 2011 comedy Paul. Confess, Fletch is currently in post-production and will be released later this year.
Arnold will also return to score the second season of Amazon’s Good Omens, which is currently in production.
He´s back (on the big screen)! As a fan of Arnold´s music I have to say: Those are really “Good Omens”…
Hmmm david Arnold has music chops but will this putting have anything memorable? Faltermeyers score was excellent in the 80s…
