Andrew Lockington

Composer · Born January 31, 1974 (52) · Burlington, Ontario, Canada

Andrew Lockington is best known for his epic score to the Warner Bros/Newline Blockbuster San Andreas, contributing to the film grossing close to $475 million worldwide. Andrew's other credits include the Golden Globe nominated Frankie and Alice starring Halle Berry, Fox 2000's Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Newline's Journey to the Center of the Earth, the Tom Hanks produced City of Ember, director Brad Peyton's Journey to the Mysterious Island for Warner Bros./Newline and STX Entertainment's The Space Between Us. Most recently, Andrew composed the adrenaline-filled new score for the Warner Bros./Newline film Rampage starring Dwayne Johnson. This film marks his fourth feature with director Brad Peyton. Andrew drew upon his knowledge and love of world music, his orchestral skills and electronic experimentation for the creation of this unique score. Rampage features large orchestra, processed brass and world percussion, vintage computer game electronics, manipulated animal noises recorded in the jungle on two continents and The African Children's Choir from Uganda. In 2008, he was named the Breakthrough Composer of the Year through the International Film Music Critics Association and was nominated for Discovery of the Year at the World Soundtrack Awards. In addition to writing scores, Andrew has written and performed multiple songs for films including "Stalking Stars," featured in Ben Affleck's 2013 Oscar winner for Best Picture, Argo, and "Move On," featured in Chris Evans' directorial debut, Before We Go.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
