COMPOSER CHRISTOPHER
YOUNG
FINDS HIMSELF IN
“UNTRACEABLE”
Thriller Stars Oscar
Nom Diane Lane, Opens January 25
“Sleepwalking”
Premieres @ Sundance January 22
(Los
Angeles, CA) Award-winning composer Christopher Young adds
to an impressive list of nearly 100 feature films in
virtually every genre with the score to Screen
Gems/Lakeshore Entertainment release “Untraceable,” the
latest thriller by director Gregory Hoblit from a script by
Allison Burnett. Starring Best Actress Oscar nominee Diane
Lane, “Untraceable” finds itself in theaters January 25.
The film
centers on an FBI cyber cop (Lane) as she races to track
down a ruthless online predator who conducts violent and
painful murders live on the net. Film composer Young
provides a thrilling score, as he did for the box office
breaking "Spider-Man 3." Young's distinctive and
imaginative approaches to several unusual projects have
made him a highly sought-after commodity on films with
unusual subject matter. He wrote an ingenious score
incorporating breathing effects for the offbeat film "The
Vagrant"; provided a darkly dramatic score to the Christian
Slater/Kevin Bacon prison drama "Murder in the First"; and
tuned in perfectly to the offbeat sensibility of the Bill
Murray comedy "The Man Who Knew Too Little." His long list
of works include the scores for "Hellraiser" and its sequel
"Hellbound: Hellraiser II"; plus such hits as "Runaway
Jury," "The Shipping News," "The Core" and "The Grudge."
Recently
honored at the 13th Annual Temecula Valley International
Film & Music Festival with the award for Outstanding Career
Achievement in Film Composing, Young has received numerous
awards and nominations throughout a celebrated career. He
has won three BMI Film & TV Awards (“The Grudge,”
“Swordfish” and “Entrapment”) and a Saturn Award
(“Hellbound: Hellraiser II.”) He has been nominated for two
Emmys (“Norma
Jean & Marilyn,”
“Last
Flight Out”)
and received both Golden Globe and Broadcast Film Critics
Association Award nominations for the Miramax film “The
Shipping News.”
In
addition to his busy film-composing schedule, Young is
imparting his experience and knowledge to a new generation
of film composers. He has been teaching at USC since the
early Nineties.
He is
currently completing “Sleepwalking,” a drama from director
Bill Maher starring
Charlize Theron,
Dennis Hopper and Woody Harrelson making its premiere at
the Sundance Film Festival January 22.
