New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Hollywood Records) Marvel
Music and Hollywood Records will release the original motion picture digital soundtrack for Marvel's Ant-Man on July 17, 2015 and will be followed by the physical CD release on July 31, 2015. The score features music by
Christophe Beck ("Frozen," "Edge of Tomorrow," "The Hangover," "
Pitch Perfect"). Marvel's Ant-Man delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure in U.S. theaters on July 17, 2015.
The film's director, Peyton Reed, acknowledges one of the key elements of a heist movie is music. "Christophe Beck is the composer on the movie and one of the things we talked about was how I wanted a recognizable theme for the hero and whether or not that could be done in the year 2015," says Reed. "But we also wanted something that said 'heist movie' with a little bit of jazzy vibe to it and also be really fun because even though the stakes are really high in the movie, it's fun."
Beck adds, "For Marvel's Ant-Man, I wanted to write a score in the grand symphonic tradition of my favorite Super Hero movies, with a sweeping scope and a big, catchy main theme. What makes this score stand out among other Marvel movies, though, is a sneaky sense of fun, since it is, after all, not only a Super Hero movie, but also a heist comedy."
The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios' Ant-Man. Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
