Kevin Smith’s action buddy comedy Cop Out starring Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan and Sean William Scott premiered in theaters yesterday. The movie marks composer Harold Faltermeyer’s return to Hollwood film scoring. The full album can be listened to at the official soundtrack webpage from Warner Bros: http://copoutmovie.warnerbros.com/soundtrack.html Apart from 14 score tracks, the album features the brand new Faltermeyer penned song Soul Brothers by Patti LaBelle.
To coincide with the film’s opening weekend, Slash Film has uploaded a new interview with Faltermeyer where he talks about Cop Out, his creative process, his work in the 80’s and his music for the upcoming comedy High School, which he describes as a “haunting, mystical, psychedelic–sometimes orchestral” score: http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/02/26/interview-harold-faltermeyer-creator-of-soundtrack-themes-to-fletch-beverly-hills-cop-top-gun-and-kevin-smiths-cop-out/
A few weeks ago, Daniel Schweiger interviewed Faltermeyer on his show On The Score. To listen to the excellent and lenghty audio interview, visit: http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=4908
