LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- "Avatar"  Composer James Horner has added
singer Lisbeth Scott to his creative musical lineup for the highly secretive
film from director James Cameron.  The singer, whose voice can be recognized
from many of Hollywood's biggest blockbuster films of the past decade, will be
featured on vocal tracks to be used in the film's anticipated breakthrough
score.

In his recent interview with MovieScore Magazine, Fox Music executive Mike
Knobloch described Horner's early music of "Avatar" as being "epic and hugely
cinematic ... music that transports us to another world ... a brilliantly
unique blend of traditional and contemporary, electronic elements that spans
the entire spectrum of attitude and energy - from bombastic action to the
delicate, romantic discovery of a new world."  The addition of Lisbeth's
vocals came about a year into the score's progress.

Lisbeth Scott's film and television repertoire is of an equally high caliber:
Of the last 5 years' top-grossing movies, she's been a featured vocalist in
almost half (Passion of the Christ, Narnia, Shrek 2, Transformers, and
Munich).  Through 2009 she will have made her mark on 2 of television's
current top 10 shows as well, with her songs being chosen for both HBO's "True
Blood" (a collaboration with composer Nathan Barr) and ABC's "Brothers and
Sisters".  Lisbeth's ninth studio album will be released on 11/10/09 via BFM
Digital under the title "Hope is a Thing", as well as a new holiday release
"Peace on Earth".  Along with these new albums comes an innovative world-wide
web-based campaign at www.hopeisathing.com, featuring children of all
backgrounds and ethnicities who express what it is they hope for in today's
world via holding up a hand-created sign, and an artistic new music video shot
by Academy-Award winning Haskell Wexler.  "Hope is a Thing" will be debuted at
two concerts at the Edgemar Center for the Arts (11/7 and 11/8,
www.edgemar.org), and on 11/20 at Berkeley's Rudramandir - a center for
spirituality and healing (www.rudramandir.com).  

Avatar is an upcoming 3-D science fiction epic film directed by Titanic's
James Cameron, and due to be released on December 18th, 2009 by 20th Century
Fox.  It is expected that Avatar's stereoscopic 3D and sound techniques will
revolutionize the technology used in modern-day filmography.
