Frederik Wiedmann is proud to announce the release of Hostel: Part III - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, available on Varese Sarabande. In addition, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, which features original music by Wiedmann, began airing on Cartoon Network this month. Wiedmann earned his first
Annie Award nomination for Green Lantern: The Animated Series.
"Freddie immediately establishes a sense of fear and horror with his chilling orchestration," said Hostel: Part III director Scott Spiegel. "He has created an arresting score that seamlessly blends the European and American aspects of the story and dramatically enhances the overall scope of the film."
While attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas, four friends are enticed by two sexy escorts to join them at a private party way off the Strip. Once there, they are horrified to find themselves the subjects of a perverse game of torture, where members of the Elite Hunting Club are hosting the most sadistic show in town. Hostel: Part III was directed by Scott Spiegel from a screenplay by Michael D. Weiss, Hostel: Part III was produced by Chris Briggs and Mike Fleiss.
In addition to Hostel: Part III, Wiedmann is scoring the new Green Lantern: The Animated Series on Cartoon Network. 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."
