FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LAKESHORE RECORDS MAKES DEATH DEFYING ACTS APPEAR
Soundtrack Features Original Music By Top Australian Composer Cezary Skubiszewski
(July 1, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the original soundtrack for DEATH DEFYING ACTS via iTunes and in stores on July 8. Called “one of the best Aussie directors of her generation” by Variety, Gillian Armstrong (Charlotte Gray, Oscar and Lucinda) helms this film about Harry Houdini's romance with a con woman. In his attempts to contact his dead mother, the magician (Guy Pearce) meets a beautiful psychic (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who isn't all she appears. Cezary Skubiszewski (Lilian’s Story, Two Hands) composed the music for the film.
Australia’s newspaper The Age called Polish émigré Cezary Skubiszewski Australia’s leading film composer. He has received numerous awards for composing in his adopted country, including two each from the Australian Film Institute and Australian Performing Rights Association. He has worked with many of Australia’s top directors Gregor Jordan (Two Hands with Heath Ledger), Craig Lahiff (Black & White), Steve Jacobs (La Spagnola), Richard Flanagan (The Sound of One Hand Clapping), Sam Neill (The Brush Off), Dein Perry (Bootmen) writer/producer Andrew Knight (the acclaimed mini-series After the Deluge) and Ana Kokkinos (The Book of Revelation).
Variety, which reviewed the film following its showcase at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, described, “Cezary Skubiszewski’s score aims to heighten character by mixing in klezmer-style (for Houdini) and Scottish folk (Mary) motifs.”
After the death of his mother the famed magician Harry Houdini (Guy Pearce) developed an obsession with psychics and those who can contact the dead. He offers $10,000 to any person who can make contact with his beloved mother and reveal her final words. 11-year old Benji (Saoirse Ronan) and her mother Mary (Catherine Zeta-Jones) transform themselves into “Princess Kali and her Dusky Disciple” and set out to find out everything they can about Harry and his mother in an attempt to win the money.
Myriad Pictures and The Weinstein Co. present DEATH DEFYING ACTS, in theaters on July 11, 2008. DEATH DEFYING ACTS original soundtrack on Lakeshore Records will be available via iTunes and in stores on July 8, 2008.
