Songwriter, record producer and composer Guy Chambers (best known for his work with Robbie Williams) and lyricist Amy Wadge (who won a Grammy Award for co-writing Thinking Out Loud with Ed Sheeran) have been hired to compose the original music and songs for the upcoming animated musical The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland. The film is directed by Peter Baynton (The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse) and features the voices of Emilia Clarke, Gerard Butler and Simone Ashley. The movie is based on Carys Bexington’s bestselling book of the same title, which mashed up Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice in Wonderland and Clement Clarke Moore’s poem Twas the Night Before Christmas. Lupus Films’ Ruth Fielding & Camilla Deakin (Ethel & Ernest, The Tiger Who Came to Tea) are producing the project, which is also produced by Universal Pictures Content Group. Chambers has previously composed the music for the features Walk Like a Panther, A Christmas Number One. No release date has been announced yet for The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland. (Variety)
