Graeme Revell has been hired to score the horror thriller Shark Night 3D. The movie stars Sara Paxton, Dustin Milligan, Katharine McPhee, Donal Logue, Chris Carmack, Alyssa Diaz and Joel David Moore. The film is directed by David R. Ellis and revolves around a group of college friends who spend the weekend at a lake house, only to find all sorts of dangerous sharks lurking beneath the waters. The director’s previous musical collaborators include John Ottman (Cellular), Trevor Rabin (Snakes on a Plane), Shirley Walker (Final Destination 2) and Brian Tyler (The Final Destination). Shark Night 3D marks Revell’s first major feature project in a while. His last box office hit was the Judd Apatow-produced comedy Pineapple Express back in 2008. The composer is no stranger to the horror thriller genre, having previously scored such films as Pitch Black, The Ruins, Below and Open Water. Shark Night 3D has been acquired by Relativity Media and is scheduled to be released on September 2, 2011. A trailer is expected to premiere shortly.
