Composer signs on for 3rd Season of ‘Sanctuary’
Epic Art Magazine
- Dyllan Waits

“Composer Andrew Lockington (Journey To The Center of the Earth, City of Ember) has been secured to score the 3rd season of “Sanctuary”. After his industry-changing music (including songs) written for the second season of the popular TV series, it’s no surprise the show’s creator and producers were quick to ink Lockington to another 20 episodes. The composer’s tunes had such an impact on viewers that numerous blogs and websites quickly emerged devoted to the music. Rumor has it a soundtrack album may also make it’s way to itunes later this year. Fingers Crossed!

*The Blu-ray / DVD release of Sanctuary Season II is June 15th.”

Beat The World

Andrew Lockington has signed on to score Beat The World for Inner City Films. Beat the World is written and directed by Robert Adetuyi and is his followup to Sony Pictures’ box office hit Stomp the Yard.

The film is about three dance crews – one Latin American, one European and one Canadian – as they prepare to do battle at the International Beat the World competition in Detroit. Along the way, they struggle with gambling debt, bad break-ups and their own egos.

In the final showdown to become world champions they find that their lifelong hopes, dreams and even lives, are at stake.

Justin Timberlake in negotiations to join live-action/CG

Anna Faris and Dan Aykroyd are in negotiations to star in “Yogi Bear,” Warner Bros.’ feature take on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Justin Timberlake is in talks to join the project, which is being directed by Eric Brevig and produced by Donald De Line and Karen Rosenfelt as a live-action/CG hybrid. Faris will play a nature documentarian who follows the antics of a bear in fictional Jellystone Park.

Aykroyd will voice Yogi, and Timberlake could end up lending his pipes for Yogi’s constant companion, Boo Boo. Jon Berg is overseeing for the studio, which hopes to get “Yogi” under way in New Zealand in December. Brad Copeland penned the current script with Joshua Sternin and Jeff Ventimilia writing the original draft.

Faris, last seen in front of the cameras with “Observe and Report,” recently has been lending her voice for such animated fare as “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.” She’s repped by Gersh and Raw Talent.

CAA-repped Aykroyd, who is working on a third “Ghostbusters” movie, was last seen on the screen in 2008’s “War, Inc.” Timberlake, repped by WME and Rick Yorn, will next be seen in the upcoming drama “Open Road,” and he recently signed to star in “The Social Network,” the Facebook movie being directed by David Fincher.
