LAW ABIDING CITIZEN SOUNDTRACK RELEASED



LAW ABIDING CITIZEN:

ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK

FEATURES MORE THAN 50 MINUTES OF MUSIC FROM CELEBRATED COMPOSER BRIAN TYLER

From director F. Gary Gray comes The Film Department / Overture Pictures October 16th release Law Abiding Citizen starring Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. The film features original music by award winning composer Brian Tyler and was made available on Downtown Soundtracks, a division of Downtown Music, on October 13th.

Law Abiding Citizen is the story of Clyde Shelton (Butler), a top-notch former spy who learns that one of the criminals who killed his wife and daughter would be released on account of his cooperation with the district attorney’s office. Shelton seeks revenge, not just against the criminals, but the entire justice system. He is quickly captured, but Nick Rice (Foxx), a corrupt D.A., quickly realizes that prison isn't enough to keep Shelton from killing those who kept the criminals from getting the sentence they deserved.

Recorded at the legendary Sony Pictures Scoring Stage in Los Angeles, California, Tyler’s score features a 52-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony. With eighteen original titles, the dueling nature of Foxx and Butler can be heard in every note. "Brian not only met all our meticulous demands, he exceeded them... He created a CLASSIC score, and I'm extremely proud of it!" said director F. Gary Gray of the music.

Tyler’s prior credits include the score for such films as Fast and Furious, Eagle Eye, Constantine, The Hunted, The Final Destination, and Rambo.

Gary Gray (The Italian Job, Be Cool) from a screenplay by Kurt Wimmer (Street Kings) and produced by Lucas Foster (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), Gerard Butler, Alan Siegel, Mark Gill (The Rebound), Kurt Wimmer and Robert Katz (The Rebound).
