Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ CineMedia Promotions) - Lakeshore Records will release the originalsoundtrack for CHAOS THEORY via iTunes on July 15. CHAOS THEORY was released in theaters in March and on DVD June 17. The soundtrack contains music composed by Gilad Benamram (Pretty Persuasion), four songs by The Damnwells, with additional songs by The Boy Least Likely To, Walking Concert, and Gingersol.
Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds), celebrated author of the bestseller The Five Minute Efficiency Trainer, has perfected the art of living via a foolproof system of timetables and index cards. But life, as he soon learns, never adheres to a strict schedule. Frank's wife, Susan (Emily Mortimer), and seven-year-old daughter, Jesse (Matreya Fedor), find his obsession charming in small doses, but as a steady diet it can be very frustrating. One morning, Susan attempts to loosen her husband's scheduling stranglehold by adding ten minutes to his day. But, by setting the clock backward instead of forward, she inadvertently unleashes a series of mishaps that turn his meticulously ordered life upside down.
The film's director, Marcos Siega, began his career directing music videos before branching out into directing films like Underclassman and Pretty Persuasion. Music plays an integral part in his films. Siega turned to Israeli composer Gilad Benamram, with whom he worked on Pretty Persuasion for CHAOS THEORY. Benamran's credits include two films with director Airel Vromen (Simple Lies and Danika), the 2007 Japanese feature Ichijiku no kao (Faces of a Fig Tree) and the 2008 documentary Victory Over Darkness)
In addition to the music composed by Benamram, the songs chosen for the film reflect the setting, as the film takes place in three different times frames - when Frank, Susan and Buddy are in their early 20s in the early 80s, a few years later when Frank and Susan are married with a seven-year-old daughter, and in present day when the now-adult Jesse is getting married. Four songs featured in the film are from the indie rock band The Damnwells, who contribute two previously unreleased cuts "Say" and "Tonight & Forever".
