Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ CineMedia Promotions) - Lakeshore Records will release the original motion picture soundtrack for PENELOPE on February 19th. The album features original music by Joby Talbot (THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY) and features songs by Devotchka, Meiko, and The Secret 6. The film was a surprise hit on the film festival circuit last year.

Composer Joby Talbot began writing and performing in the 90s as part of the UK pop group The Divine Comedy (with Neil Hannon). He produced 7 albums for The Divine Comedy, including Ute Lemper's acclaimed album "Punishing Kiss". Talbot's work has also appealed to Europe's top choreographers including Wayne McGregor with whom Talbot collaborated on "Chroma" for the Royal Ballet and "Genus" for the Paris Opera Ballet.

Penelope (Christina Ricci) is a lovely young woman cursed with a pig's snout for a nose. Her parents (Catherine O'Hara and Richard E. Grant) have kept her practically a prisoner in her house because of this. Potential suitors would often take the shortest route out of her house after seeing her nose, which often means through the second story window. Max (James McAvoy) has been hired by a paparazzi style journalist to pose as a suitor and sniff out the story. The film also stars Academy AwardT winner Reese Witherspoon who is also one of the producers of the film.
