Lakeshore Records takes a look at Emmy Award-winning Composer Christophe Beck (Disney’s Frozen), who recently added this weekend’s scifi epic, Edge of Tomorrow, to his film scoring resume. The new Tom Cruise movie, directed by Doug Limon (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Jason Bourne Trilogy) also stars Emily Blunt (Salmon Fishing In The Yemen, Sunshine Cleaning), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges), and Bill Paxton (Million Dollar Arm, HBO’s Big Love). The following films were also scored by Christophe Beck: Runner Runner, Waiting for Superman and Charlie Barlett — with soundtracks released by Lakeshore Records.

In Edge of Tomorrow, Tom Cruise (Tropic Thunder, Oblivion) plays “Cage,” a soldier who finds himself trapped in a time loop during an alien invasion. Trivia: Cruise also faced aliens in War of the Worlds (2005). In case you haven’t seen Edge of Tomorrow, check out the trailer:
