Deadline was the first to report that Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff are to write several songs for Mother Mary, a new A24 film directed by David Lowery, who also wrote the script.
The film will star Anne Hathaway, who plays a fictional pop star, and Michaela Coel, who will star as a big fashion designer.
While the original film score will be composed by Daniel Hart, there will be some original songs written and produced for the film by now-in-demand British singer-songwriter Charli XCX and the American singer-songwriter/producer Jack Antonoff, who came to prominence with his project Bleachers as well as writing and producing material for currently big music names, including Taylor Swift.
Charli XCX is also currently a co-composer on the Bottoms film score.
