‘Public Enemies’ Audio Clips Now Available
Audio clips of the score to Michael Mann’s gangster drama, Public Enemies, can now be heard on Amazon.com. The music was composed by award-winning composer, Elliot Goldenthal, who won an Academy Award for his work on Julie Taymor’s biopic, Frida.
The compilation soundtrack will feature seven tracks of original music from Goldenthal and a selection of jazz greats, including a newly recorded version of “Bye, Bye, Blackbird” sung by Diana Krall. Basically, it’s a Billie Holiday and Elliot Goldenthal album. From what I can tell, the score sounds great. But, I can’t really get much out of three and a half minutes. Listen for yourself over at Amazon or click on the sidebar to listen.
The film, based on Bryan Burrough’s book Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-1934, will star Johnny Depp as the infamous criminal John Dillinger, and is scheduled to release on Wednesday, July 1st.
Side note: I figured we’ve seen enough of Johnny Depp in a fedora, so I simply had to post a picture of the beautiful co-star, Academy-Award winning actress, Marion Cotillard.
