THE VISITOR
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek

Also featuring
“Don’t Gag Me”
Performed by Fela Kuti

In a world of six billion people, it only takes one to change your life. In actor and filmmaker Tom McCarthy’s follow-up to his award winning directorial debut The Station Agent, Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under) stars as a disillusioned Connecticut economics professor whose life is transformed by a chance encounter in New York City.

Sixty-two-year-old Walter Vale (Jenkins) is sleepwalking through his life. Having lost his passion for teaching and writing, he fills the void by unsuccessfully trying to learn to play classical piano. When his college sends him to Manhattan to attend a conference, Walter is surprised to find a young couple has taken up residence in his apartment. Victims of a real estate scam, Tarek (Haaz Sleiman), a Syrian man, and Zainab (Danai Gurira), his Senegalese girlfriend, have nowhere else to go. In the first of a series of tests of the heart, Walter reluctantly allows the couple to stay with him.

Touched by his kindness, Tarek, a talented musician, insists on teaching the aging academic to play the African drum. The instrument’s exuberant rhythms revitalize Walter’s faltering spirit and open his eyes to a vibrant world of local jazz clubs and Central Park drum circles. As the friendship between the two men deepens, the differences in culture, age and temperament fall away.

After being stopped by police in the subway, Tarek is arrested as an undocumented citizen and held for deportation. As his situation turns desperate, Walter finds himself compelled to help his new friend with a passion he thought he had long ago lost. When Tarek’s beautiful mother Mouna (Hiam Abbass) arrives unexpectedly in search of her son, the professor’s personal commitment develops into an unlikely romance.

And it’s through these newfound connections with these virtual strangers that Walter is awakened to a new world and a new life.

Overture Films opens The Visitor nationwide on April 11.

P.S. I LOVE YOU
Original Motion Picture Score

Music Composed by John Powell

Hilary Swank
Gerard Butler

Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life — a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry’s life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it’s a good thing he planned ahead.

Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief, but in rediscovering herself. With Gerry’s words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.

Holly’s mother (Kathy Bates) and best friends, Sharon (Gina Gershon) and Denise (Lisa Kudrow), begin to worry that Gerry’s letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future.

John Powell’s beautiful and spirited score is released just in time for the film’s DVD premiere.

JOHN ADAMS
Original Television Soundtrack

Music Composed by Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli

Paul Giamatti
Laura Linney

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book

An Epic Seven-Part Miniseries

Starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, executive produced by Playtone’s Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and directed by Emmy®-winner Tom Hooper, JOHN ADAMS is a seven-part epic miniseries event that explores American history through the eyes of one of the greatest of the founding fathers, John Adams (Giamatti), a fiercely independent spirit whose unwavering vision steered America through a tumultuous period.

Based on David McCullough’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, the miniseries is produced for HBO Films by Playtone.

JOHN ADAMS taps into the uncertainty and intensity surrounding the birth of the American republic and its first 50 years. With the fervent support of his wife Abigail (Linney), and through a lifelong political rivalry and friendship with Thomas Jefferson (Stephen Dillane), Adams rose to be the leader of the American independence movement, the nation’s first ambassador to Holland and England, the first American Vice President, the second American President, and father of the sixth American President.

Drawn from an extensive collection of letters, diaries and family papers, David McCullough’s biography of John Adams was a New York Times best seller, and proclaimed by Time magazine as a “masterwork of storytelling. … a rollicking ensemble drama featuring a collection of giants.” The New Yorker hailed it as a “stirring history. [McCullough’s] vivid storytelling will surely persuade a generation to look again at this obstinate, brave, and most deeply philosophical of American patriarchs.”

HBO and Playtone previously collaborated on the acclaimed 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers, which received six Emmys®, including Outstanding Miniseries, and the Golden Globe for best miniseries. In addition, Hanks was the executive producer of the 1998 HBO miniseries From The Earth To The Moon, which received three Emmys®, including Outstanding Miniseries.

The beautiful and moving score for JOHN ADAMS is by composers Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli. The score is an exceptional and poignant work.

The premiere broadcast of JOHN ADAMS is scheduled on HBO® between March 16 and April 20.
