Two new movies are opening in wide release this weekend:
Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch starring Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino and Jon Hamm features music by Tyler Bates and Marius DeVries. A soundtrack with songs from the movie has been released this week by Watertower Music. To listen to audio clips and download the album, visit Amazon and iTunes. Bates and DeVries were also heavily involved in arranging the film’s songs. For an article discussing the film’s music with quotes from both composers, visit Rolling Stone. Also check out our previous article to find more about the project. No announcement has been made if any of the score from the film will be released.
Also opening wide is the family comedy Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules starring Zachary Gordon, Rachael Harris and Steve Zahn. The film’s music is composed by Edward Shearmur (visit our article on the scoring assignment). No soundtrack release has been announced. Theodore Shapiro’s score for the first part was released a couple of months after the film’s release, which makes it seem possible that a soundtrack release for the sequel will be coming out later this year.
