Laurent Eyquem has signed on to score the upcoming Civil War-era drama Copperhead. The film is directed by Ron Maxwell and stars Billy Campbell, Angus MacFadyen and Peter Fonda. The movie based on the epic novel by Harold Frederic and adapted by Bill Kauffman examines the price of dissent amid the hysteria of wartime, as a family is ripped apart by American Civil War-events. Maxwell is producing the Swordspoint Production and John Houston is co-producing. Recording sessions for the music are scheduled to take place in October at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros. Studios. Maxwell has earned a reputation in the film music community for his highly effective use of music in his movies. His previous Civil War-themed projects include 1993’s Gettysburg, which was scored by Randy Edelman whose bestselling soundtrack was used in dozens of trailers throughout the 90s, as well as 2003’s Gods and Generals, which featured a critically acclaimed score by John Frizzell and Edelman.
