    LAKESHORE DEFINITELY RELEASES SOUNDTRACK FOR DEFINITELY, MAYBE

    Soundtrack Features Original Music By Clint Mansell

    (June 10, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) -Lakeshore Records will release the original soundtrack for Definitely, Maybe on June 24th. Clint Mansell composed the music for the film, which opened on February 14, 2008. The film has since earned over $50 million at the box office worldwide.

    Clint Mansell began scoring for film following the break-up of his band Pop Will Eat Itself. His first score was for writer/director Darren Aronofsky's film Pi. He has since composed for Aronofsky's films Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain, the latter of which was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. Mansell's credits also include Sahara, Abandon, and Smokin' Aces.

    Ryan Reynolds stars as Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad in the middle of a divorce, when his 10-year old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love.

    Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the presidential campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as an idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. Will hopelessly attempts a "PG" version of his story for his daughter and changes the names so Maya has to guess who is the woman her father finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next-door Emily? Is
    she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer?

    As Maya begins to put together the pieces of her dad's mystery love story, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back . and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.

    Definitely, Maybe will be available on DVD June 24, 2008. Definitely, Maybe original soundtrack on Lakeshore Records will also be available in stores on June 24, 2008.

    Anyone seen the movie? Mansell is usually pretty damn good, but I wonder what a rom-com score by him will be like...

    I haven't heard the score or seen the movie but i heard it's pretty different from anything he's done 'till now, laid back and relaxing, small-scale and melodic, nothing special though.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    it is nothing special except for the one theme that pops up occasionally (i think you could call it April's Theme) which is beautiful.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    The romantic stuff is like a lighter, less fluffier, less dense version of The Holiday. (I don't listen to many romantic comedy scores so I don't know a whole lot to compare it to). Then there is also some more pop-ish stuff...electric guitar, drumkits, etc. Most of that is rather boring.

    The main theme, the really cool one, is mostly on piano I think. Very simple but very touching.

    Good movie. The score in the movie was functional, didn't stand out very much. I think I have a copy of it. Lemme listen to it again.
