FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LAKESHORE RECORDS TO RELEASE VAMPIRES SUCK
Christopher Lennertz Digs His Teeth Into The Score
(August 12, 2010, 2010- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the Vampires Suck -- Original Motion Picture Score available digitally on August 17th and in stores on August 31, 2010. The film is written and directed by two guys who couldn’t sit through another vampire movie, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (Disaster Movie, Meet The Spartans), and features original music composed by Christopher Lennertz (Cats & Dogs 2, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Meet The Spartans).
Composer Christopher Lennertz was excited to stake his claim to another Friedberg/Seltzer film. "Working with Aaron and Jason is a true joy,” said Lennertz. “They love music and really believe in making the music larger than life to play the straight man against the comedy. This fits right into my sensibilities."
It seems that 2010 has become the year of the undead. "I wanted to take everything that makes the vampire genre so seductive...tragic melodies, dark romance, and scary textures...and turn it up to eleven,” described Lennertz. To do so he “used a full orchestra, voices, guitars, and huge percussion to really bring the vampires to life.”
At only 38 years old, Christopher Lennertz has scored 37 feature films, 5 network television series, many of the world’s biggest interactive titles, and has spent weeks on the Billboard charts. He has studied with Academy Award® winner Elmer Bernstein, David Raksin, and Christopher Young and has a degree in composition from USC’s Thornton School of Music. He has worked with such artists as Basil Poledouris, Michael Kamen, Mark Mancina, Ozomatli, The RZA, and Alien Ant Farm.
Lennertz was named Best New Composer in 2002 by Cinemusic for his work on Clive Barker’s Saint Sinner. His collaboration with Ozomatli on their record Street Signs garnered a Grammy Award® for best Latin Rock Album. He won an Interactive Academy Award in 2004 for Medal of Honor: Rising Sun from EA, and was nominated again in 2006 for Activision’s GUN. In 2006 Lennertz was also nominated for an Emmy Award® for his music on the television series Supernatural. His credits include the films Tortilla Heaven, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Meet The Spartans, Disaster Movie, The Open Road, ADAM, and the video games The Godfather Part II (Electronic Arts) and Quantum of Solace (Activision). Lennertz’ upcoming projects include Cats and Dogs 2: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Marmaduke.
Vampires Suck is a comedy about contemporary teen angst and romance movies. Becca, an anxious, non-vampire teen, is torn between two boys. Before she can choose, Becca must get around her controlling father, who embarrasses Becca by treating her like a child. Meanwhile, Becca’s friends contend with their own romantic issues – all of which collide at the prom.
20th Century Fox presents Vampires Suck, in theaters on August 18, 2010. Vampires Suck – Original Motion Picture Score on Lakeshore Records will be released digitally on August 17th and in stores on August 31, 2010.

I'm actually thinking of picking up this release. It looks like Lennertz gets a chance to re-score the first two Twilight films, while parodying the original style. Not pleased about the delay between electronic distribution and CDs, though. I'm sure there's a reason for it; I just don't care.
