Composer Dave Palmer is reuniting with director Peter Farrelly (Green Book, Dumb and Dumber) on the upcoming comedy Balls Up. The film starring Mark Wahlberg, Paul Walter Hauser, Benjamin Bratt, Sacha Baron Cohen, Daniela Melchior, Eva De Dominici, Molly Shannon & Eric André follows two marketing executives who pitch a bold full‑coverage condom sponsorship with the World Cup. But after their drunken celebration in Brazil sparks a global scandal, they must outrun furious fans, power-hungry officials and criminals to salvage their careers and make it home alive. Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese (Deadpool, Zombieland) wrote the screenplay. They are also producing the project with Skydance’s David Ellison & Dana Goldberg (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, The Tomorrow War), Don Granger (Jack Reacher, The Adam Project), as well as Andrew Muscato. Palmer has previously scored Farrelly’s last two features, The Greatest Beer Run Ever & Ricky Stanicky, and also collaborated with the filmmaker on the TV series Loudermilk. Balls Up will premiere on April 15, 2026 exclusively on Prime Video.
