Mandy. The time has come… Trailer Premiere Wed Jun 27th. – – We miss Jóhann so much.- – – “The soundtrack is equally highly worked, though dominated by Oscar-nommed Icelandic composer Johann Johansson’s original score, which sports a variety of textures apt for a movie that often feels like a vintage prog-metal concept album illustrated.” – Variety – – “The grainy 16mm imagery, a vibrant mixture of neon hues and shadows set to Johan Johansson’s disorienting score, suggests a gothic fantasy unfolding within the confines of a heavy-metal poster.” -IndieWire – – “Mandy doesn’t have a heavy metal soundtrack (though its soundtrack is an incredible hodgepodge of eerie brooding synths), but it is a total heavy metal movie, filled with panel-van airbrush imagery, cultist weirdos, and a group of bikers that seem inspired by Cenobites in the best way possible (they also have their very own drug, and when Cage takes a taste it is a sight to behold). This movie even has animated sequences and a chainsaw duel.” – BirthMoviesDeath – – “Cosmatos is the dominating force for “Mandy”‘s avant-garde horror first half, relishing demonic synth music cues (from Johann Johannsson) and establishing many characters as mysterious, rambling beings of an insidious universe. “- RogerEbert.com – – #mandyfilm #mandy #sundance #filmtrailer #nicholascage #johannjohannsson #spectrevision #beyondtheblackrainbow #panoscosmatos #cultfilm #midnightmovie #elijahwood #filmcomposer #soundtrack #soundtracks #moviesoundtrack #horror #horrormovie #lakeshorerecords #invadarecords #revenge #moviemusic @johann_johannss @spectrevision @spectrevisionmusic #andreariseborough @invadarecords @lakeshorelovesvinyl @panoscosmatos @wallerjoshc #xyzfilms @xyzfilms #filmscore #filmcomposer @indiewire @variety #variety #indiewire @johnhbergin #electronicmusic

MANDY: From Cannes With Love, Praise For Jóhann Jóhannsson Score

Mandy has been playing festivals from Sundance to Cannes with rave reviews and much love for the score by the late, beloved composer Jóhann Jóhannsson who has left us far to soon.

The Panos Cosmatos’ action-thriller is set for release later this year by RLJE Films. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Andrea Riseborough.

“The late Jóhann Jóhannsson’s epic-sounding, metal-tinged score make Mandy feel as if it’s taking place outside of time, dwelling in its own nightmarish realm in which frightening supernatural creatures coexist with their human counterparts.” – ScreenDaily.com

It also features the final completed score by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannson, which drifts between sighing, swelling synths and apocalyptic thunder-crashes of electric guitar. It is outstanding – arguably the film’s very soul – though you wouldn’t want to listen before bed. – Telegraph.co.uk

The late Jóhann Jóhannsson’s synthesiser-heavy score and Benjamin Loeb’s colour-saturated cinematography delivers the promise of every great painted 1980s VHS box cover.  – The Guardian.com

 

Mandy, Insane Nicolas Cage Action-Thriller To Be Released This Summer | EW

Written and directed by Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow), Mandy stars Cage and Andrea Riseborough as a couple whose existence is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand.

Rob Simonsen’s Synth Score For ‘Nerve’ Is Out Now! Emma Roberts And Dave Franco Film Now Playing!

Download The ‘Nerve’ Soundtrack Here: [iTunes]

“New York F***** City,” from Simonsen’s soundtrack, embraces a retro, dark synths vibe that would be equally at home scoring a high-speed chase or a euphoric night on a nightclub’s dance floor.”  – Under The Radar

NERVE seems fairly dark and nearly apocalyptic, and thus far most of its soundtrack has reflected that. However, Rob Simonsen‘s “Night Drive” is a more positive bit of synthwave, a major-key piece straight out of a whimsical SNES racer. – Popmatters

 

Lakeshore Records is very pleased to release Nerve (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), available now digitally!  The CD is coming soon.  The album features score by acclaimed composer Rob Simonsen (The Age Of Adaline, Foxcatcher, Life Of Pi) and the bonus track, “Let’s Play” featuring White Sea.  See full album details below!

Lionsgate presents NERVE, in theaters now (find a theater).
