Veteran composer Stephen Edwards (Feast, The Patriot, Hellraiser: Hellseeker) has written a truly charming and entertaining orchestral score for Danny Lerner's and Nu Image's new Rin-Tin-Tin movie, starring Ben Cross and William Hope. The winner of the 2007 Film & TV Music Award, the score for Finding Rin-Tin-Tin is written in an old-fashioned matinee style, an approach rooted in thematic and melodic writing, adding brassy and percussive excitement to action sequences and providing strings and woodwinds beauty to the heartfelt moments of the story. Music is performed by the 65-piece Belgrade Film Orchestra. MovieScore Media's release of the Finding Rin-Tin-Tin soundtrack co-incides with First Look Pictures' DVD release of the film on September 16.

In the spirit of the legendary Jerry Goldsmith, acclaimed composer Christopher Wong, who was nominated to an International Film Music Critics Association Award for Journey from the Fall, delivers an exciting, highly emotional and adrenaline-pumping action score for this epic Vietnamese adventure directed by Charlie Nguyen. The film takes place in 1920s Vietnam under colonial French ruling and tells the story of a an undercover elite who is hired by the French to kill the notorious leader of the Vietnamese resistance. The film - and the music - is filled with action and suspense, but also has deeply emotional romantic elements. Just like Journey from the Fall, The Rebel is a strongly thematic score and its action writing is firmly based on ostinato-driven patterns, giving the music a Goldsmith-ian quality which is rare in film music today. Another important element of the action writing is the use of Vietnamese percussion. Our release of this score co-incides with the film's US DVD release on September 30.

Our fourth project with Ryan Shore (if you haven't already, check out Headspace, The Girl Next Door and Numb/Kettle of Fish/Coney Island Baby) is our most exciting: a large, gothic orchestral horror score which pays tribute to the genre classics by Hans J. Salter, Herman Stein, Frank Skinner, James Bernard and Bernard Herrmann. Recorded with the 93-piece Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, the score is epic, entertaining and exciting. "We all wanted an epic sound for this origin of a superhero, with a palette of intense energy, thematic motifs, dark brooding moments, playful tones, and powerful pounding action," the composer explains. With its combination of horror and comedy, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer has already won a lot of critical acclaim. Anchor Bay's DVD of the film is coming out on October 7, co-inciding with MovieScore Media's CD and online release of the score.

Some scores are worth fighting for - for more than a year we have been working on acquiring the rights to release this immensely beautiful orchestral score by the hugely talented Sharon Farber. Based on the novel by Irvin D. Yalom, scoring When Nietzsche Wept was a dream project for the composer, who had read the book as a teenager and immeditaley fell in love with it. Starring Armand Assante as famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, the film features a score that is filled of strong themes (often presented on piano or solo woodwinds) and rich orchestrations. Although restrained emotional writing forms the backbone of the score, it also features several elegant scherzos as well as darker action-orientated material. The album ends beautifully with Sharon Farber's arrangement of Nietzsche's song 'Hymnus an das leben' featuring soprano Ayana Haviv and the composer on piano.
