Kris Bowers is scoring the upcoming drama Green Book. The film is directed by Peter Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, Me, Myself & Irene) and stars Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali and Linda Cardellini.

They are also producing the Participant Media production with Jim Burke (The Descendants, Walking Tall) and Charles Wessler (Shallow Hal).
