FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LAKESHORE RECORDS RELEASES THE SOUNDTRACK FOR
THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES
ACADEMY AWARD(tm) WINNER JAMES HORNER COMPOSED ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR THE
FILM, BASED ON THE BELOVED CHILDREN'S STORIES.
(January 28, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) - Lakeshore Records will release
the original motion picture soundtrack for THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES
on February 5, 2008. The album features original music by Academy
Award(tm)-winning composer James Horner (TITANIC, A BEAUTIFUL MIND).
Two-time Academy Award(tm)-winner James Horner began writing music for
film in 1980, after completing his doctorate in composition at UCLA.
Following work scoring a short film for the AFI, Horner began honing
his craft at New World Pictures where he developed relationships with
young directors including Ron Howard and James Cameron, for whom
Horner has composed some of his most popular scores like APOLLO 13,
COCOON, and RANSOM (for Howard) and TITANIC and ALIENS (for
Cameron).
Horner has developed into one of the most respected film composers of
his generation, composing for such films as LEGENDS OF THE FALL,
RANSOM, COURAGE UNDER FIRE, CASPER, PATRIOT GAMES, STAR TRAK II: THE
WRATH OF KHAN, THE LAND BEFORE TIME, and WILLOW. In addition to his
two wins for TITANIC, he has earned Academy Award(tm) nominations for his
scores for APOLLO 13, BRAVEHEART, FIELD OF DREAMS, HOUSE OF SAND AND
FOG, and ALIENS, and for the song "Somewhere Out There" from AN
AMERICAN TALE.
From the beloved best-selling series of books comes THE SPIDERWICK
CHRONICLES, a fantasy adventure for the child in all of us. Peculiar
things start to happen the moment the Grace family (Jared, his twin
brother Simon, sister Mallory and their mom) leave New York and move
into the secluded old house owned by their great, great uncle Arthur
Spiderwick. Unable to explain the strange disappearances and accidents
that seem to be happening on a daily basis, the family blames Jared.
When he, Simon and Mallory investigate what's really going on, they
uncover the fantastic truth of the Spiderwick estate and of the
creatures that inhabit it. The film stars Freddie Highmore, Mary-
Louise Parker, Nick Nolte, Joan Plowright and David Strathairn.
Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures presents THE SPIDERWICK
CHRONICLES, in theaters and IMAX on February 14. The Lakeshore
Records recording will be available on iTunes and in stores on
February 5, 2008.
