(July 12, 2006- New York, NY) Scoop is the new contemporary comedy from writer/director Woody Allen who stars in the film with Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, and Ian McShane. Scoop is the second consecutive picture that the filmmaker has set and shot in London (following Match Point). The soundtrack for Scoop will be in stores July 25th on Decca and includes several classical tracks hand-picked by Mr. Allen.

Mr. Allen reports that he chose the music based on “his instincts about what would work in the film.” Capturing the playful spirit of the film, the soundtrack’s lush orchestrations and quick tempo complement the mysterious motif of the story. The soundtrack consists almost entirely of beautiful classical music by Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Johann Strauss – a unique assemblage for any soundtrack, especially one from a movie not entirely about classical music itself. These timeless melodies from The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Peer Gynt will be recognized with pleasure by every listener.

Scoop tells the story of Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson), a student journalist for a college paper visiting friends in London who happens upon the scoop of a lifetime. Along the investigative trail, she finds magic, murder, mystery--and perhaps love, with British aristocrat Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman). Focus Features film opens Scoop in limited release on July 28th.
