PR: Into the Wild score album

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTO THE WILD ORIGINAL SCORE
TO BE RELEASED BY LAKESHORE RECORDS

“From seductive start to shattering finish, the film is as stirring, entertaining and steadfastly thrilling as it is beautiful” -- Wall Street Journal

(December 11, 2007- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the original motion picture score, composed by Michael Brook, for INTO THE WILD on December 18, 2007. The release will be available exclusively through iTunes.

Michael Brook is a guitarist and composer. In the 80s Brook worked as an engineer at Daniel Lanois’ studio. His first solo album was released in 1985 and featured contributions from Lanois and musical iconoclast Brian Eno. His work on the Michael Mann film HEAT led to Brook composing the music for the Kevin Spacey-directed film ALBINO ALLIGATOR.

Brook’s recent projects include the Academy Award-winning, global warming documentary AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, for which Brook wrote the original music and produced soundtrack. As a guitarist, Brook contributed to the soundtracks for BLACK HAWK DOWN, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2, and THE PLEDGE.

Freshly graduated from college with a promising future ahead, 22 year-old Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) instead walked out of his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure. What happened to him on the way transformed this young wanderer into an enduring symbol for countless people. Was Christopher McCandless a heroic adventurer or a naive idealist, a rebellious 1990s Thoreau or another lost American son, a fearless risk-taker or a tragic figure who wrestled with the precarious balance between man and nature?

Each strand of his journey is woven into Sean Penn’s screen adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s acclaimed bestseller, INTO THE WILD, which is as much about the insatiable yearning for family, home and connection as it is the search for truth and happiness.

Paramount Vantage and River Road Entertainment present INTO THE WILD, currently in theaters. The Lakeshore Records recording, featuring the score by Michael Brook will be available exclusively through iTunes on December 18, 2007.
