Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Cinemedia Promotions) - La-La Land Records proudly announces the release of the Unstoppable -Original Motion Picture
Soundtrack on December 7, 2010. Composer Harry Gregson-Williams (The Town, Shrek, The Chronicles of Narnia) wrote the original music. Harry Gregson-Williams is one of Hollywood's most sought after composers, working on a variety of high-profile projects, both animated and live-action. Born in England to a musical family, Gregson-Williams earned a scholarship from the music school of St. John's College in Cambridge at the age of seven.
By age 13, he had been a soloist on over a dozen records, and then earned a coveted spot at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He started his film career as an orchestrator and arranger for composer Stanley Myers, and went on to compose his first scores for the veteran English director, Nicolas Roeg. Gregson-Williams' initiation into Hollywood film scoring was then facilitated by his collaboration and friendship with Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer.
It was 1997's Smilla's Sense of Snow that earned Gregson-Williams international acclaim, followed by 1998's Antz, which he co-wrote with John Powell. Since then Gregson-Williams has generated an extensive body of work that includes the scores for Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Domino, Kingdom of Heaven, Veronica Guerin, Shrek, Shrek 2, Chicken Run and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Deja; Vu, Shrek the Third, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Town.
1 million tons of steel. 100,000 people at risk. 100 minutes to impact.
Inspired by actual events, Unstoppable is an adrenaline rush fueled by director Tony Scott's signature mark of propulsive action rooted in the reality of ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances.
A veteran train engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine) race the clock to stop an unmanned runaway train -; effectively a missile the size of a skyscraper -; and prevent disaster in a heavily populated area.
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment presents Unstoppable, currently in theaters now. The Unstoppable -; Original Soundtrack on La-La Land Records is available via their website (www.lalalandrecords.com) now and in stores on December 7, 2010.
