Film Music Reporter has learned that composer Hal Lindes is currently writing the score for the upcoming drama The Lucky One. The film based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, Dear John) centers on a Marine who survives three tours in Iraq and attributes his good fortune to a photograph he carried of a woman he has never met. He sets out to meet his good-luck charm when he returns to North Carolina. The movie stars Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling and Blythe Danner. The film is directed by Scott Hicks who collaborated with Lindes on his last movie, The Boys Are Back starring Clive Owen.
