Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ CineMedia Promotions) La-La Land Records will release the Green Lantern: The Animated Series Original Soundtrack. The album features original music composed by
Frederik Wiedmann (Hostel: Part III, The Hills Run Red), for which he earned his first
Annie Award nomination.
Based upon the DC Comics super hero, Green Lantern: The Animated Series follows Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, who is used to being in dangerous situations -- but he's never faced anything like this! Set in the farthest reaches of deep space, the series finds Hal on the Guardian Frontier, where he must face down an invasion from the Red Lantern Corps.
"The score for the Green Lantern series is a big and epic orchestral score, filled with themes and world instruments," said Wiedmann. "Since most of the story takes place in space, the musical possibilities are endless. I get to write a blend of sci-fi, heroic action, adventure, utilizing all kinds of worldly instruments. It is a rare opportunity for a composer to have this much variety in creating music for one project."
Born in Stuttgart, Germany,
Frederik Wiedmann came to Los Angeles in 2004 to become a film composer. After three years working as an assistant to veteran composer John Frizzell, Wiedmann scored his first feature Return to House on Haunted Hill for Dark Castle Entertainment (Warner Brothers) in 2007.
