NEW HORROR FILM THE STRANGERS SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED BY LAKESHORE
|
|
 Lakeshore Records will release the soundtrack for THE STRANGERS on May 20th via iTunes and in stores on May 27th. The soundtrack contains original music composed by tomandandy.Andy Milburn and Thomas Hadju are tomandandy. The duo met at Princeton University, where they began writing music together. They would write short pieces which they dubbed ‘blasts’ comprised of bits of disjunct sounds. Though they did not translate when performed in concert halls, these blasts were perfect when combined with images on TV. Soon tomandandy moved to NY and began writing for TV and film. Their first feature film soundtrack was 1994’s KILLING ZOE for writer/director Roger Avary. Their film credits include THE HILLS HAVE EYES, THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, THE RULES OF ATTRACTION and ARLINGTON ROAD. Lock the doors. Assume you're safe. The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family's vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on February 11, 2005, are still not entirely known. Champagne. Rose petals. Candlelight. It was supposed to be a night of celebration for Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman). But after leaving a friend's wedding reception and returning to the house, everything had collapsed for the happy couple. Then came a 4 a.m. knock on the door and a haunting voice. Is Tamara here? Writer/director Bryan Bertino explores our most universal fears in The Strangers, a terrifying suspense thriller about a couple whose remote getaway becomes a place of terror when masked strangers invade. The confrontation forces Kristen and James to go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to survive. Rogue Pictures presents THE STRANGERS, in theaters on May 30, 2008. THE STRANGERS original soundtrack on Lakeshore Records will be available on iTunes on May 20th and in stores on May 27, 2008. You can also grab a copy of the cd @ Amazon.

Our Man in Cannes: Summer plans of the stars
|

Scott Speedman and Rachel Blanchard, two of the principals in Atom Egoyan’s “Adoration,” say they’re going to spend the next month or so traveling Europe, rather than returning to L.A. “I’m sending my clothes back home, packing a knapsack for my travels, and I’m going solo,” said Speedman, who plays an uncle who raises a teenager whose parents were involved in a fatal traffic accident in “Adoration.” Looking fit and tan, Speedman talked to reporters during a luncheon at the Carlton Beach. (The Carlton Hotel, fyi, is one of the most exclusive establishments on the Croisette and was the site where Cary Grant’s “To Catch a Thief” was filmed.) Blanchard also showed up to meet the press and said she was planning to spend most of June traveling Europe with friends. Both stars bemoaned the current state of the industry and said they were having to turn down numerous scripts because most of them were banal. “You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff I’ve been sent,” Speedman said. “A lot of the scripts for indie productions are awful, and you typically have to go after scripts that you want,” he said. That was the case with Egoyan’s “Adoration,” which focuses on a teen who creates a false persona on the Internet to find out what happened to his parents. Speedman said he read the script and lobbied Egoyan for a chance to play the uncle. “At first, I didn’t think Scott was right for the part,” Egoyan said. “I had an older man in mind for the uncle. But then I realized that putting someone as young as Scott in the role would make the character more interesting. Here’s a guy who gave up life in his 20s to raise a child.” “Adoration” has been getting mixed buzz in Cannes, but some people think it has a chance at a major award. Source: Austin 360
