COMPOSER Geoff Zanelli is headed back to the Disney family. The Emmy winner will score Angelina Jolie’s “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” directed by Joachim Ronning.

It’s a reteaming for Zanelli and Ronning, who previously worked together on 2017’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.”

“I couldn’t wait to team up with Disney and Joachim Ronning again, so I’m excited to be invited to the Moors for an inspired new adventure,” Zanelli said. “The storytelling in ‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’ is fantastic, and Angelina Jolie’s iconic performance as this timeless villain is hauntingly vivid, easily one of my favorite recent cinematic experiences. For someone who was raised on fantasy and adventure films, writing this score is a dream come true.”

Zanelli earned an Emmy in 2006 for the miniseries “Into the West,” and recently scored Disney’s “Christopher Robin” and the Dennis Quaid thriller “The Intruder.”

“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” is the sequel to the 2014 film focusing on a villain. Elle Fanning returns, with Ed Skrein joining the follow-up as the villain. It is set to open Oct. 18.(SD-Agencies)
