Three new movies are opening nationwide this weekend:
Opening in most theaters is the survival drama Adrift directed by Baltasar Kormákur and starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin. The film’s original music is composed by Volker Bertelmann (aka Hauschka) (Lion, Patrick Melrose, Gunpowder, The Current War). Sony Classical has released a soundtrack album featuring the composer’s score, as well as Emiliana Torrini’s cover of Tom Waits’ I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love With You.

Also opening wide is the sci-fi thriller Upgrade written and directed by Leigh Whannell and starring Logan Marshall-Green, Betty Gabriel, Harrison Gilbertson and Benedict Hardie.

Andrew Feltenstein and John Nau are scoring the upcoming comedy Action Point. The film is directed by Tim Kirkby (Brockmire) and stars Johnny Knoxville. The movie imagines what would happen if Knoxville and his cohorts irresponsibly designed and operated their own theme park. Knoxville also co-wrote the screenplay with John Altschuler & Dave Krinsky (Silicon Valley, King of the Hill, Extract) and is producing the project with Billy Gerber (Gran Torino, The Dukes of Hazzard) and Derek Freda (Bad Grandpa).
