LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Film composer Joseph Metcalfe's debut nationwide film, The King's Daughter, will be released in Regal Theaters across America on January 20th.

Los Angeles based composer Joseph Metcalfe led a team of three composers to produce the score for The King's Daughter starring Pierce Brosnan (James Bond, Mama Mia), Kaya Scodelario (Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Maze Runner), William Hurt (A History Of Violence, Avengers End Game), Benjamin Walker (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Lord Of The Rings), narrated by Julie Andrews (Sound Of Music, Mary Poppins), and directed by Sean McNamara (Soul Surfer, Hoovey).

Metcalfe conducted the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir over three days and then flew to England where he mixed the score with Casey Stone (Frozen, X-Men, Don't Look Up). Metcalfe's team of composers consisted of John Coda (Bratz, The Dark Tower) and legendary video game composer Grant Kirkhope (GoldenEye 007, Mario Rabbids).

"We recorded The King's Daughter score in Prague with a sizable orchestra and choir," says Metcalfe. "Conducting then felt just as exciting as the first time I conducted a symphony orchestra as a young student. It never gets old." The family adventure film tells a tale of King Louis XIV's quest for immortality leading him to capture a mermaid, a move that is further complicated by his illegitimate daughter's discovery of the creature.

Metcalfe opened his Simi Valley, CA studio in 2012 and has composed and recorded several feature films, TV shows, and artists, including TV host Bob Eubanks. In spite of being largely self taught, Metcalfe was offered a place at USC in the Film Scoring program and graduated with the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. He was mentored by some of Hollywood's greatest composers like Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Ron Jones, and Christopher Young.

Tickets for The King's Daughter are now on sale at Regal Theaters and other select theaters nationwide starting January 20th. Check your local listings for showtimes.
