Ulrich posted about the film and working on the score on his Instagram writing “Check out #TripleFrontier, which starts streaming on #Netflix today.”
“Director JC Chandor, who I’ve admired for his previous films and gotten to know over the years, called me up and asked if I would contribute to the movie. The marching orders… Thunderous drums to back up the score in certain sequences. I’m in!! Had some fun for a coupla days in December laying down ‘thunderous drums’ on top of @dzasterpeace’s brilliant existing stems of music and score … and it’s turned out really fuckin’ cool. So if you’re in the mood for a clever, intelligent, suspenseful, well-cast action thriller with an unusual amount of smarts and depth for the genre, and the occasional ‘thunderous drums’, go find @TripleFrontier.. streaming on your device of choice via @Netflix and in select theaters now. Happy days!”
