Finding ‘Lost Stars’ In ‘Begin Again’ – The Contenders

Songwriters Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois talk about creating ‘Lost Stars,’ a key song in “Begin Again,” the latest music-minded film from writer/director John Carney (Once). The film stars Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, along with a fine collection of veteran co-stars.

The film was produced by Judd Apatow, Tobin Armbrust and Anthony Bregman. The Weinstein Company handled distribution for the film, which has grossed $ 63.4 million worldwide since its June debut in limited release. It first appeared at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.

The pair were talking at Deadline’s recent Oscar showcase, The Contenders.

Have you seen the film? What did you think? Let us know.
