I thought this would be of interest in this group, as the film features Edward
Norton.

(New York, NY - August 2, 2002) - The beautiful and distinguished, Salma Hayek
(Desperado, Fools Rush In) stars in this season's highly anticipated drama,
Frida based on the life of the controversial artist. This flavorful
movie-making collaboration unites Oscar and Grammy-nominated composer Elliot
Goldenthal with his wife, director, Julie Taymor, whose work on the smash
Broadway The Lion King brought her great esteem. The Frida soundtrack will be
released October 8, 2002 from DG World/UMG Soundtracks.



An inventive composer, Elliot Goldenthal has received numerous accolades and
nominations around the world for his own musical creations. As a well-rounded
musician, he has generated work for orchestra, theatre, opera, ballet and film.
He has received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Interview with the
Vampire and Michael Collins as well as winning the prestigious L.A. Film Critics
Award for Best Original Score for his outstanding work on The Butcher Boy. He
has proven himself as a versatile composer with his orchestral piece Fire Water
Paper, the ballet Othello, and other film scores such as the groundbreaking film
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Batman & Robin.



Contributing to Frida's flavorful atmospherics, Elliot Goldenthal has
successfully constructed a mix of powerful acoustic guitar playing, meditative
arrangements and up-tempo flamenco-influenced tracks. Also exclusively featured
on the disc is a haunting vocal duet from Brazilian-music giant Caetano Veloso
and Lila Downs, known for blending Latin, Native American and African sounds.
The soundtrack album will be an enhanced CD containing exclusive bonus
materials, including a film clip montage set to this unforgettable music by the
film's acclaimed director Julie Taymor.



In Frida, Salma Hayek is Frida Kahlo the larger-than-life artist that became one
of the most acclaimed artists in Mexican history. When her complex and enduring
relationship with her husband Diego Rivera isn't enough for her, Frida embarks
on an illicit and tempestuous love affair along with provocative entanglements
with women. Frida lived a relentless life as a political, artistic and sexual
revolutionary. Working side by side with Hayek to recreate the life of this
extraordinary woman is an outstanding cast including Alfred Molina (Chocolat),
Antonio Banderas (Desperado and The Mask of Zorro), Edward Norton (Fight Club),
Ashley Judd (Where the Heart Is) and Geoffrey Rush (Quills).



Frida, a Miramax film, opens in New York and LA October 25th with a wider
release throughout November
