Theodore Shapiro, who has scored many blockbuster comedies including The Devil Wears Prada, Blades of Glory and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, has been hired to score Paramount Pictures' new Eddie Murphy comedy, Nowhereland. The film is directed by Karey Kirkpatrick, whose recent credits include directing the animated Over the Hedge and writing the script for and producing the upcoming fantasy adventure The Spiderwick Chronicles. Nowhereland also has some fantasy elements: Eddie Murphy is a father who enters his daughter's imaginary world. Lorenzo di Bonaventura produces and the film should be ready for theatrical release on September 26, 2008. Theodore Shapiro is also doing the music for Semi-Pro (yet another sports comedy, starring Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson) and Tropic Thunder (an action comedy directed by Ben Stiller).
