Abrams and is also using a live orchestra for the score to the series. The panelists also include composer Joseph Trapanese and executive producer Charlie Bean who will be talking about their work on the animated series Tron: Uprising.

Nathan Johnson Scoring ‘Looper’
Nathan Johnson is currently scoring the sci-fi action thriller Looper. The movie is written and directed by Rian Johnson and stars Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paul Dano, Jeff Daniels and Piper Perabo. The project reunites Johnson with his regular producing partners Ram Bergman and James D. Stern. The film centers on a killer who works for the mob of the future and disposes of people who are sent from the future. When he recognizes one victim as his future self, he hesitates and lets him escape. Nathan is the cousin of Rian Johnson and has previously written the music for the director’s other two features Brick and The Brothers Bloom. Looper is scheduled to be released on September 28, 2012 by FilmDistrict and TriStar.
