LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
AVATAR: MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE, the official score album companion to
Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron`s epic motion picture adventure, will be
released digitally and physically December 15th (available internationally on
December 14th), from Atlantic Records. Pre-orders begin at
www.atlanticrecords.com/store on November 16th. Twentieth Century Fox releases
AVATAR in theatres everywhere on December 18th.
The album, which features music composed and conducted by Academy Award-winner
James Horner (Titanic), will be highlighted by the film`s end title song, "I See
You," performed by multiple Grammy Award-nominated singer Leona Lewis, and
produced by James Horner and Simon Franglen, the team behind Titanic`s
blockbuster theme song, "My Heart Will Go On." A companion video directed by
Jake Nava (Beyoncé, Shakira) is currently in production.
A live action film with a new generation of special effects, AVATAR takes us to
a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an
epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to
call home. James Cameron first conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means
to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of production,
AVATAR, delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the
revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion
of the characters and the sweep of the story.
AVATAR stars Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation), Zoë Saldana (Star Trek),
Michelle Rodriguez (Lost, Fast & Furious), and Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, Galaxy
Quest). The film is written by James Cameron and produced by Cameron and Jon
Landau.
