Isabella Summers (aka Isa Machine of Florence + the Machine) has been hired to score the upcoming animated feature Hitpig. The film is directed by Cinzia Angelini & David Feiss (Cow and Chicken) and features the voice talent of Peter Dinklage, Lilly Singh, Rainn Wilson, Anitta, RuPaul and Hannah Gadsby. The movie is rooted in PBerkeley Breathed’s New York Times bestseller Pete & Pickles and centers on a pig hired by humans to bring back their escaped animals. IMary Ramos & Sarah Bridge will serve as the project’s music supervisors. Adam Nagle & Dave Rosenbaum (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hawk, Riverdance: The Animated Adventure) are producing the Aniventure production. Hitpig is currently in production and is expected to be completed in late 2022.
Summers’ other recent projects include Phyllis Nagy’s Call Jane, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and has been picked up Roadside Attractions for a release later this year. The composer whose other previous scoring projects include Little Fires Everywhere and Panic is also expected to return to score the second seasons of Apple TV+’s Physical and Netflix’s Sex/Life (with Mark Isham).
