By: Randall LarsonDate: Wednesday, February 07, 2007
Director Jay Russell has confirmed that he has signed James Newton Howard to score his fantasy adventure The Waterhorse, starring Emily Watson, Ben Chaplin and David Morrissey. The movie is about a lonely boy who discovers a mysterious egg that hatches a sea creature of Scottish legend.
Russell commented about his choice of composer for this epic take on the Loch Ness myth: “I loved his scores for The Sixth Sense and Signs. I thought both pieces had a wonderful combination of tension and mysticism. Not the easiest musical feat to accomplish.”
James Newton Howard’s other upcoming films include Michael Clayton and The Lookout.
