George Fenton (Groundhog Day, Dangerous Liaisons, Hitch, You’ve Got Mail) is composing the original score for the upcoming British dramatic thriller Red Joan. The film is directed by Trevor Nunn (Twelfth Night or What You Will, Lady Jane) and stars Judi Dench, Sophie Cookson, Stephen Campbell Moore and Tom Hughes. The movie tells the story of Joan Stanley, the seemingly demure physicist who was also a long-serving British spy for the KGB. Lindsay Shapero wrote the screenplay. David Parfitt (Shakespeare in Love, My Week with Marilyn) is producing the project. Red Joan will premiere next month at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival.
As previously reported, Fenton also has the thriller Hard Powder starring Liam Neeson, Laura Dern & Emmy Rossum coming up. The movie is currently set to be released on February 8, 2019 by Lionsgate.
