PASSENGERS Starring Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence  as star-crossed lovers in space Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Music by multi-awarded composer Thomas Newman ABOUT THE FILMThe Sci-Fi Adventure follows the spaceship “Starship Avalon” in its 120-year voyage to a distant colony planet known as the "Homestead Colony" when malfunctions occur in two of its sleep chambers. Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are two passengers onboard a spaceship transporting them to a new life on the new planet. The trip takes a deadly turn when their hibernation pods mysteriously wake them 90 years before they reach their destination.As their characters Jim and Aurora try to unravel the mystery behind the malfunction, they begin to fall for each other, unable to deny their intense attraction only to be threatened by the imminent collapse of the ship and the discovery of the truth behind why they woke up. Passengers, from the excellent Norwegian director of The Imitation Game, Morten Tyldum, has the look of a glossy 21st-century update of classic 70s space movies such as Dark Star, Silent Runningand Solaris, all from that era in which sci-fi film-makers loved to riff on the endless boredom of travel between the stars and imagine madness taking root in the cosmos like cholera in dirty water.“You will laugh and cry and hold your breath and be at the edge of your seat. It has chills. It also will make you smile and laugh a lot. We wanted a playful movie. In this day of sequels and reboots I think it’s refreshing that it is a completely original story with two of the best movie stars in the world. I’m very, very happy with the movie.” (Director Morten Tyldum)ABOUT THOMAS NEWMANThomas Newman is an American film score composer and a member of a family who established a film-scoring dynasty in Hollywood.He was born in Los Angeles, California, the youngest son of composer Alfred Newman (1901-1970). Newman has received a total of twelve ©Academy Award nominations. He has won two BAFTAs, six ©Grammys and an Emmy, and has been nominated for three Golden Globes. Newman was honored with the Richard Kirk award at the 2000 BMI Film and TV Awards. The award is given annually to a composer who has made significant contributions to film and television music.One of the most interesting things about Newman is his change of styles, beginning with his score for American Beauty, which received critical acclaim. Before this, Newman gravitated more towards the orchestra for his music, like in most other film music. However, in American Beauty his fans witnessed his take on a minimalistic score with an array of odd instruments and a rhythmic style. Since then Newman has alternated and mixed in both his traditional sweeping orchestral scores along with his new, creative style. He is notorious among score listeners for using plenty of instruments the average listener would never have heard of.Among his most recent compositions are James Bond 007: Skyfall (2012), Side Effects (2013), Bridge of Spies (2015), and James Bond 007: Spectre (2015).TRACKLIST1.         The Starship Avalon (Main Title)  2.         Hibernation Pod 16253.         Command Ring4.         Rate 2 Mechanic5.         Awake for 7 Days6.         Crystalline 7.         Precious Metals8.         Aurora9.         Robot Questions10.      The Sleeping Girl                                                     11.      Build a House and Live In It12.      I Tried Not To…13.      Spacewalk                                     14.      Passengers                                                                     15.      50% of Light Speed16.      Cascade Failure17.      Zero-Gravity18.      Never Happy Here19.      Red Giant20.      Looking for Wrong                                                  21.      Chrysler Bldg.22.      Untethered23.      You Brought Me Back24.      Starlit25.      Accidental Happiness26.      Sugarcoat the Galaxy (End Title)
