ALEPH RECORDS TO RELEASE SOUNDTRACK FOR
ABOMINABLE.
COMPOSER LALO SCHIFRINS FIRST HORROR PROJECT SINCE HIS ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATED SCORE FOR THE AMITYVILLE HORROR The Score for Abominable Was Absolutely Inspired
-- Harry Knowles, Aint It Cool News-- (June 5, 2006- Los Angeles, CA) Aleph Records
will release the soundtrack for Abominable on June 6, 2006. The album
contains the score from the film, composed by Academy Award Nominated composer
Lalo Schifrin. It is the first horror film he has scored since his
nominated score for The Amityville Horror.
It has been sighted 42,000 times in 68
countries. A creature of myth and legend known by many names: Yeti,
Sasquatch, and the infamous Bigfoot! Weve hunted it for years, but what
happens when it decides to hunt us?
Abominable, was written and directed by Ryan
Schifrin, and stars Matt McCoy (The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, L.A.
Confidential, TVs West Wing) as a wheelchair-bound man recovering from a
mountain climbing accident in his remote cabin in the woods. He sees the
legendary beast and must convince someone to believe him, before the monster
goes on a bloody rampage.
Harry Knowles from Aint It Cool News, calls
Abominable, Scary, freaky and a damn helluvalot of fun. Variety says, Some
absurdly violent moments will make it a draw among existing fans of the genre
and maybe win over some new ones.
Composer Lalo Schifrin is a true Renaissance man.
As a pianist, composer and conductor, he is equally at home conducting a
symphony orchestra, performing at an international jazz festival, scoring a film
or television show, or creating works for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the
London Philharmonic and even The Sultan of Oman.
He has written more than 100 scores for films and
television including the classic scores for Mission Impossible, Mannix,
The Fox, Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, Dirty Harry, The Cincinnati Kid, and The
Amityville Horror. Shifrins recent film scores include Tango, Rush Hour, Rush
Hour, Bringing Down The House, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, After the Sunset, and
Abominable. To date, Lalo Schifrin has won four Grammy Awards (with
twenty-one nominations), one Cable ACE Award, and received six Oscar
nominations.
Abominable was the directing debut of Ryan
Schifrin. To date, he has written eleven feature length screenplays, two
teleplays and a novel. He is currently putting the finishing touches on
his latest screenplay Spooks. Ryan is a graduate of the University of
Southern California School of Cinema. His short film titled Evil Hill, (a
spoof of Notting Hill) was named the Best of The Fest at the HBO US COMEDY
ARTS Film Festival and subsequently was released nationwide on DVD. It
made its world television premiere on the SCI-FI Channel series
Exposure.
