FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW LINE RECORDS RELEASES SOUNDTRACK FOR “THE INFORMANT!”
The Soundtrack from the Upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures Film, composed
by Marvin Hamlisch, Hits Digital Stores August 25
BURBANK, CA, August 25, 2009 – New Line Records will release the
official soundtrack from the Warner Bros. Pictures film “The
Informant!” via digital download on Tuesday, August 25. The
soundtrack features 14 memorable tracks from the motion picture, which
will be released nationwide on Friday, September 18.
The innovative music on the soundtrack was composed by Oscar® winner
Marvin Hamlisch (“The Sting,” “The Way We Were”). The composer of
more than forty motion picture scores, Hamlisch has won virtually
every major entertainment award that exists, including three Oscars®,
four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony, three Golden Globe Awards; and the
Pulitzer Prize. Regarding the composing process, Hamlisch states, “I
obviously knew that Steven Soderbergh was a brilliant, innovative, far-
reaching director, but I came to learn that he has great taste when it
comes to the use of music in film. So this ‘job’ became a ‘joy.’”
Described as “an über-cool, retro-style Marvin Hamlisch score” by
Playboy.com, the motion picture soundtrack will be available at all
digital retailers on August 25.
“The Informant!” is based on the true story of Mark Whitacre (Matt
Damon), a rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland
(ADM) who suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his
company’s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre
envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed
a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence,
so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape
recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto
secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn’t
been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate
coffers. Whitacre’s ever-changing account frustrates the agents
(Scott Bakula and Joel McHale) and threatens the case against ADM as
it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the
product of Whitacre’s active imagination.
Academy Award® winner Matt Damon (“Good Will Hunting,” the “Bourne”
movies) stars in “The Informant!,” based on the true story of the
highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history. The film
also stars Scott Bakula, Joel McHale and Melanie Lynskey.
“The Informant!” is directed by Academy Award® winner Steven
Soderbergh (“Traffic”) from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns, based on
the book The Informant (A True Story), written by Kurt Eichenwald.
The film is produced by Gregory Jacobs, Jennifer Fox, Michael Jaffe,
Howard Braunstein and Kurt Eichenwald. George Clooney, Jeff Skoll and
Michael London served as executive producers, with Michael Polaire co-
producing.
The behind-the-scenes creative team includes production designer Doug
Meerdink, editor Stephen Mirrione and costume designer Shoshana
Rubin.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, In Association with Participant Media
and Groundswell Productions, a Section Eight-Jaffe/Braunstein
Enterprise, “The Informant!” The film has been rated R by the MPAA
for language. “The Informant!” opens nationwide on September 18,
