FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DARFUR NOW ORIGINAL SCORE
TO BE RELEASED BY LAKESHORE RECORDS
(December 11, 2007- Los Angeles, CA) - Lakeshore Records will release the
original motion picture score, composed by Graeme Revell (GRINDHOUSE: PLANET
TERROR, SIN CITY), for DARFUR NOW on December 18, 2007. The film is a
documentary, a call to action for people to help end the crisis in Darfur.
Graeme Revell's first film score was for the Australian thriller DEAD CALM,
which starred Nicole Kidman. Since then he has become a highly sought-after
film composer, known for incorporating traditional ethnic music and natural
sound. He has collaborated with a wide range of film makers including George
Miller, John Woo, Michael Mann, Ted Demme, Philip Noyce, and Robert Rodriguez.
Revell's credits include THE CROW, CHINESE BOX (Winner-Best Score at the Venice
Film Festival), THE NEGOTIATOR, DAREDEVIL, and THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND
LAVAGIRL.
For the first time in history, the US Government has declared a genocide while
it is ongoing. In DARFUR NOW, the struggles and achievements of six very
different individuals bring to light the situation in Darfur and the need to get
involved. From a UCLA graduate in Los Angeles, California, to a Darfurian woman
who joins rebel forces, to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in
The Hague, to a United Nations humanitarian on the ground in Sudan, to an
internationally known actor and activist, and finally to a community leader in a
West Darfur refugee camp, the film portrays the heroic efforts of six people
responding to a humanitarian tragedy unfolding before our eyes. Written and
directed by Ted Braun, the film explores the Darfur conflict through the
first-hand experiences of Don Cheadle, Hejewa Adam, Pablo Recalde, Ahmed
Mohammed Abakar, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, and Adam Sterling. Actor George Clooney
also appears in the film.
Warner Independent Pictures presents DARFUR NOW, currently in theaters. The
Lakeshore Records recording, featuring the score by Graeme Revell, will be
available on December 18, 2007.
