Aaron Zigman is scoring the upcoming animated 3D family comedy Escape From Planet Earth. The film is directed by Cal Brunker and features the voice talent of Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Rob Corddry, James Gandolfini and Craig Robinson. The movie is set on the planet Baab, where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova is a national hero to the blue alien population. Brunker has written the script with Bob Barlen based on a screenplay by Tony Leech & Cory Edwards (Hoodwinked!). Luke Carroll and Catherine Winder (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) are producing the Rainmaker Entertainment production and Harvey and Bob Weinstein are executive producing. Escape from Planet Earth is set to be released on February 14, 2013 by the Weinstein Company.
