Tag: Never Say Never

Weekly Film Music Roundup (February 11, 2011)

Four new movies are opening in wide release today:

Just Go With It directed by Dennis Dugan and starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman features a score by Rupert Gregson-Williams. No soundtrack album has been announced and judging from the release status of Gregson-Williams’ previous work for Adam Sandler/Happy Madison-produced films (with the exception of Bedtime Stories), the score will most likely remain unreleased.

Also opening wide is the animation musical Gnomeo & Juliet, which features songs by Elton John and a score by James Newton Howard and Chris Bacon. As reported last December, a soundtrack album including Elton John’s songs and four cues from the original score are has been released this Tuesday. To order the CD and listen to audio clips, visit Amazon and to download the album, visit Amazon or iTunes. To watch a short interview with composer James Newton Howard talking about his score for the project, visit Trailer Addict.
