U.K.
composer James
Edward

has
signed
on to

the

IMAX
release
of “The
Bachelor
King 3D.”
The
film
, a documentary about penguins in South Georgia, will
be
narrated
by
Sir
David
Attenborough
and
is
produced
by
Anthony
Geffen’s
Atlantic
Pictures,
the

the

film
will
premiere
on
SKY

in
IMAX
cinemas
and
a

2012.
Barker, who recently scored the terrifyingly brutal “The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)” and Andrew Haighs’ acclaimed gay romance “Weekend,” has also signed a multi‐soundtrack deal with Swedish music label, Movie Score Media. The label, headed up by Mikael Carlsson, plans to release two albums this fall following Barker’s soundtracks to Karl Golden’s “Weekender“ (distributed in U.K. through Momentum Pictures) and the up and coming U.S. DVD release of Mark McQueen’s “Devils Playground.”
Barker also recently scored Lionsgate’s “The Holding,” released in early September in the U.K., and is also due to score the war horror flick “The 4th Reich ” and “The Vanishment ” – a supernatural horror written by Andrew Haigh – which Barker will co –compose alongside Christopher Young (“The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” “ The Grudge“).
