Corey Allen Jackson has signed on to score the upcoming comedy The Brits Are Coming. The film is directed by James Oakley (The Devil You Know) and stars Uma Thurman, Stephen Fry, Tim Roth, Parker Posey, Maggie Q, Alice Eve, Crispin Glover and Sofia Vergara. The movie follows a British con-artist couple who flee to Los Angeles to avoid paying a large debt to a gangster and try to win back the money via a jewel theft operation. Oakley also co-wrote the screenplay with Alex Michaelides. Cassian Elwes (Lee Daniels’ The Butler, Elvis & Nixon), JC Chandor (A Most Violent Year, All Is Lost), Robert Ogden Barnum (Margin Call, Miles Ahead) and Dave Hansen (Lovesong) are producing the project. The Brits Are Coming is currently in post-production and is expected to be released in 2017.
Jackson’s recent projects also include the drama The Bleeder starring Liev Schreiber & Naomi Watts. The movie premiered last month at the Toronto Film Festival and was picked up by IFC Films and Showtime for a release in 2017.
