FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE FILM THAT OPENED THE 2008 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, IN BRUGES, TO BE RELEASED
THEATRICALLY

LAKESHORE RECORDS RELEASES THE SOUNDTRACK FOR
IN BRUGES, COMPOSED BY CARTER BURWELL, WITH SONGS BY TOWNES VAN ZANT, THE
PRETENDERS, THE DUBLINERS, AND THE WALKMEN

(January 31, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) - Lakeshore Records will release the
original motion picture soundtrack for IN BRUGES on iTunes February 5th and in
stores on February 12th. The album features original music by Carter Burwell
(NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, GODS AND MONSTERS). IN BRUGES was the film that opened
the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

Composer Carter Burwell began composing for film in the mid-1980s for the Coen
Brothers first feature film, BLOOD SIMPLE. This has lead to a twenty year
collaboration on such films as FARGO, THE BIG LEBOWSKI, THE HUDSUCKER PROXY, O
BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?, and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. Burwell's credits also
include BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, BEFORE NIGHT FALLS, VELVET GOLDMINE, THE SPANISH
PRISONER, and THREE KINGS.

IN BRUGES was filmed on location; Bruges (pronounced "broozh"), the most
well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming destination
for travelers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and
Ken (Brendan Gleeson), it could be their final destination; a difficult job has
resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by their London boss
Harry (two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) to go and cool their heels
in the storybook Flemish city for a couple of weeks.
But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more surreal their
experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals,
tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor (Jordan Prentice)
shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray
in the form of Chloë (Clémence Poésy), who may have some dark secrets of her
own.
And when the call from Harry does finally come, Ken and Ray's vacation becomes a
life-and-death struggle of darkly comic proportions and surprisingly emotional
consequences.

Focus Features presents IN BRUGES, in theaters on February 8. The Lakeshore
Records recording will be available on iTunes on February 5, 2008 and in stores
on February 12, 2008.
