Score: Jon Brion wraps work on Will Ferrell's 'Step Brothers'
And that’s a wrap: Today at Sony Studios in Los Angeles, singer/songwriter/composer/producer Jon Brion is expected to complete his scoring work on the upcoming Will Ferrell comedy “Step Brothers.”
Word is he'll be conducting an 88-piece orchestra into the evening, but this desk job right here prevents an eyewitness account. Yesterday, the folks at The Playlist picked up on some other “Step Brothers” news, noting that some of the music was composed by Brion, Wilco experimentalist Nels Cline and Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier. That nugget of info was apparently buried in a Deerhoof press release.
Before “Step Brothers,” which was directed by Adam McKay and also stars John C. Reilly, Brion did some scoring work on the Paul Thomas Anderson films “Punk-Drunk Love” and “Magnolia.” He also worked on Charlie Kaufman’s “Synedoche, New York.”
