Chris Roe (Blue Jean, The Lady, After Love, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, Trigger Point, Lancaster, Wolf) has composed the original score for the upcoming drama The Long Haul. The film is written and directed by David Drake and stars Margo Martindale, Cole Sprouse, Stephen Root, Jefferson White, Yalitza Aparicio and Wes Studi. The movie follows a long-haul trucker facing the potential parole of her daughter’s murderer who has to contend with her past, present and future. Hélène Sifre (Blue Jean), Sam Bank (Twende) and Juliet Berman (Set It Up, Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead) are producing the project. The Long Haul will premiere next month at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival.
Roe’s other recent feature projects include Marianne Elliott’s The Salt Path, which opened in UK theaters last year and will be released in select U.S. theaters on August 28 by Rialto, as well as Jonatan Etzler’s Bad Apples, which premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and is currently awaiting a release date.
