John Paesano (Daredevil, The Maze Runner, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, Invincible, When the Game Stands Tall, The Star) has composed the original music for the upcoming Disney+ original movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The animated feature is directed by Swinton Scott and features the voices of Brady Noon, Ethan William Childress and Chris Diamantopoulos. The film is based on the first book in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling book series and follows Greg Heffley, a scrawny but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous as he tries to survive middle school. Kinney (who previously served as an executive producer on the live-action movie series) also wrote the screenplay and is also producing the 20th Century Animation production. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is set to premiere on December 3, 2021 exclusively on Disney+.
Paesano’s other recent projects include the second season of Truth Be Told, New episodes of the drama currently premiere every Friday on Apple TV+.
I think this is his first Disney project and hope not the last 😀
