FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FROM THE DIRECTOR OF MR. & MRS. SMITH AND THE BOURNE IDENTITY COMES
JUMPER
LAKESHORE RECORDS RELEASES THE SOUNDTRACK FOR
JUMPER, COMPOSED BY JOHN POWELL
(January 28, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) - Lakeshore Records will release
the original motion picture soundtrack for JUMPER on iTunes February
12th and in stores on February 19th. The album features original
music by John Powell (UNITED 93, SHREK).
Composer John Powell has written music for animated films (HAPPY FEET,
SHREK, ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN) and comedies (PLUTO NASH, ALFIE, MR.
3000) but is probably best known for his work in the action film genre
on such films as MR. AND MRS. SMITH, X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, FACE/OFF,
THE ITALIAN JOB, and the BOURNE series of films (THE BOURNE IDENTITY,
THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM). Powell's work on these
action scores seamlessly blends orchestral and electronic elements.
The British born Powell began originally trained as a violinist. In
1995 he founded a London based commercial music house before moving to
the United States 2 years later. He is one of the best known former
members of the Remote Control (formerly Media Ventures) team of
composers, where he first teamed with Harry Gregson-Williams, his
collaborator on several scores (ANTZ, CHICKEN RUN, SHREK).
From the director of MR. & MRS. SMITH and THE BOURNE IDENTITY, Doug
Liman, comes JUMPER. A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport
himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries,
and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years
between "jumpers" and those who have sworn to kill them. The film
stars Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, and Diane Lane, based on
the novels by Steven Gould.
Regency and 20th Century Fox present JUMPER, in theaters on February
15. The Lakeshore Records recording will be available on iTunes on
February 12, 2008 and in stores on February 19, 2008.
