Sony Music Masterworks releases Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Academy Award®-winning composer Dario Marianelli.

Available everywhere, the album features an original score written by Marianelli for the latest installment in the Ghostbusters film franchise. For his second collaboration with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director Gil Kenan, Marianelli initially took inspiration from the iconic soundscape crafted by Elmer Bernstein for director Ivan Reitman’s original 1984 blockbuster.

The result is a nostalgia-inducing score that captures the spirit of Bernstein’s well-loved soundtrack while establishing a distinct sound for the new film.
Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is now playing exclusively in movie theaters.

Of the album, composer Dario Marianelli says, « Listening to the original score by Elmer Bernstein after 40 years, one is struck by the sheer unpredictability of the music.
What an unexpected score that is, jumping without warning from the scary to the slapstick, from tiniest synthesizer twinkle to gorgeous and florid orchestrations, from the completely serious to the completely silly.
It was a true honour for me to join Gil Kenan and the Ghostbusters family and be allowed to pay homage to — and expand on —that crazy premise. »
