One of the things I like about film scoring is that over the years, different projects have commanded different types of music and I’ve always been able to dial in something that I personally like stylistically in order to serve that particular film. The other thing is that I never want to feel that I’m becoming a hack and recycling old stuff. It’s really important that I respond to the picture in front of me in a completely fresh and in the moment way. -Composer Mark Adler

 

The people have spoken: Merchants of Doubt is Certified Fresh on RottenTomatoes.com: where ratings are generated by user submissions.   SoundtrackGeek.com, which gave the album a high score, says the soundtrack is “comedic and ironic” with “moody, dreamy and ambient” cues.  And, with the backing of Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan, who calls the film “enthralling,” summarizes the documentary in his recent review: “It gives a peek behind the curtain of how public opinion is formed in this country, how spin doctors and media manipulators — often the same folks working across a whole range of issues — get people to ignore science at their own peril.”  Merchants of Doubt is a movie-going experience you don’t want to miss.  Directed by Robert Kenner, Merchants of Doubt opens in theaters on March 6 in New York and Los Angeles (check show times).  Stay tuned for more soundtrack details!

Sony Pictures Classics has debuted the official trailer for the doc Merchants of Doubt, from director Robert Kenner (of Food, Inc. previously), that looks at the “pundits-for-hire who present themselves as scientific authorities as they speak about topics like toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals and climate change.” Essentially, it sheds light on the various lobbyists and corporations that fight endlessly to deny facts in order to maintain a political/financial agenda in their favor. –Firstshowing.net

Lakeshore Records will release the soundtrack to Merchants of Doubt, featuring the score by Mark Adler (Food Inc.) coming soon to iTunes.  Directed by Robert Kenner (who directed the Oscar®-winning Food Inc.), Merchants of Doubt was an Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival and at the Telluride Film Festival.  A documentary about “the art of propaganda,” Merchants of Doubt opens in select theaters beginning March 6 via Sony Pictures Classics.  Stay tuned for more soundtrack details!

Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, Merchants of Doubt takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin.  Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities – yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.
