James Newton Howard’s score for Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang will be released by Varese Sarabande Records. The movie is the sequel to Nanny McPhee, which was scored by Patrick Doyle and came out in 2006. In the sequel, Emma Thompson is reprising her role as Nanny McPhee and is joined by the recently Oscar nominated Maggie Gyllenhaal.
The orchestral score by James Newton Howard was recorded in London last month. The score album will be released on March 30. Because the movie won’t premiere in the United States until this summer, the album will only be available as an import from Europe and on iTunes until August 2010 when the CD will be released domestically as well.
