No Escape

Beltrami and Sanders score released on 08/21/2015

Lakeshore Records will release the NO ESCAPE – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on August 21, 2015. The album features the film’s original score by Marco Beltrami (3:10 TO YUMA, FANTASTIC FOUR) and Buck Sanders (THE HURT LOCKER, WARM BODIES). A deluxe version of the soundtrack will be released digitally on September 25th and on CD later this year, and features the new track “Take Care of You” by Jim James from the Grammy® nominated band My Morning Jacket.

“Director/writer John Dowdle and co-writer/producer Drew Dowdle brought the film to us in a form very close to what you’ll see in the theater,” said Beltrami. “We’d talked with them a few years ago about how The Hurt Locker was edited without a temp, and was originally conceived not to have a score. They were influenced by that idea with No Escape, and I think it really helped the film to edit it like that.”

An intense international thriller, NO ESCAPE centers on an American businessman (Owen Wilson) as he and his family settle into their new home in Southeast Asia. Suddenly finding themselves in the middle of a violent political uprising, they must frantically look for a safe escape as rebels mercilessly attack the city. Directed by John Erick Dowdle and written together with his brother Drew (who also produced), NO ESCAPE stars Owen Wilson, Pierce Brosnan and Lake Bell.

“The palette of the score is mainly manipulated Asian percussion and modular Eurorack synths, with some string orchestra,” Sanders described. “We played with the percussion sounds to really accent the ‘stranger in a strange land’ feeling in the film. We also used production recordings of some street musicians that were recorded on set. And I even recorded my daughter Roux doing a horrible, high-pitched scream and then slowed it down to help create a long, sustained ‘pad’ of wailing that channels the young girls’ screams in the film.”

The total playtime of the album will be 55 minutes
