Press Release from La-La Land:
La-La Land Records and MGM present a remastered and expanded CD re-issue of renowned composer Hans Zimmer’s (RAIN MAN, GLADIATOR) original motion picture score to the landmark 1991 feature film THELMA & LOUISE starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, and directed by Ridley Scott.
After their first successful collaboration on BLACK RAIN, director Ridley Scott called upon composer Hans Zimmer once again to score what would become the beloved classic feminist drama/road adventure THELMA & LOUISE. Enthralled by the notion of composing his take on an Americana score, Maestro Zimmer dove into the challenge, fashioning a sonic wonder that takes the audience on a road trip from the Deep South to the Open West, all the while expertly charting an emotional throughline for the complex lead characters. Tinged with blues and Cajun stylings, and featuring legendary master guitarist Pete Haycock’s signature performance skills, Zimmer’s score balances character, drama, action and location with perfect pitch – as brilliantly demonstrated within this newly remastered deluxe re-issue, expanded with more music beyond any of the film’s previous soundtrack releases.
Produced by Stéphane Humez and remixed, mastered and edited by Maxime Marion from MGM vault elements, under the supervision of Hans Zimmer, this special limited edition CD release of 1500 units showcases the score as initially written by the composer, as well as alternate and film version bonus tracks, including a 2000 concert suite demo. The exclusive in-depth liner notes are by writer and journalist Kaya Savas, featuring a new interview with the composer. The sharp art design is by Dan Goldwasser.
