After their adoptive mother is murdered during a grocery story holdup, the Mercer brothers hotheaded Bobby (Mark Walberg), hard-edged Angel (Tyrese Gibson), family man and businessman Jeremiah (André Benjamin), and hard rocking Jack (Garrett Hedlund) reunite to take the matter of her death into their own hands. As they track down the killer, they quickly realize that their old ways of doing business have new consequences. In this character-driven action-drama from acclaimed director John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood, 2 Fast 2 Furious), four brothers come together to discover that they are bound by ties thicker than blood.

While coming to terms with the possibility that his genius, which she has inherited, may come at a painful price, her estranged sister (Hope Davis) arrives to help settle their fathers affairs.

AN UNFINISHED LIFE

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Deborah Lurie

Robert Redford

Jennifer Lopez

Morgan Freeman

Set against the rugged ranchlands of Wyoming, An Unfinished Life is the story of a modern-day Western family, as stoic as they are divided, learning the true meaning of forgiveness. Robert Redford stars as Einar Gilkyson, a tough-skinned, retired rancher who long ago turned his back on memories. Still in shock from his only sons death a decade ago, Einar has let his ranch fall into ruin, along with his marriage. Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired hand, and last trusted friend, Mitch (Morgan Freeman), who was gravely injured in an encounter with a Grizzly Bear. Einar intends to live out his days in this heartbroken solitude . . . until the very person he blames for his sons accident comes to town: his daughter-in-law Jean (Jennifer Lopez). Jean shows up broke, on the run and with a girl named Griff (newcomer Becca Gardner), who she swears is the granddaughter Einar never knew he had. Suddenly, Einars quiet life is turned upside down as anger and accusations resurface. But slowly, miraculously, 11-year-old Griffs curiosity about Western life, and her longing for family and a father figure, begin to chip away at the stone that has become Einars heart opening up the way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and true reunion.

Lasse Hallstrom (Cider House Rules, Chocolat) directs and newcomer Deborah Lurie provides the very beautiful score.

Miramax opens An Unfinished Life nationwide on September 9.

SERENITY

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by David Newman

Joss Whedon the Oscar- and Emmy-nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity.

The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers-a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.

This action/adventure/Sci-Fi/western features an eclectic score by composer David Newman.

Universal Pictures' Serenity opens nationwide on September 30.

Bezüglich der "An Unfinished Life" Veröffentlichung meldet die Unofficial Chris Young Seite:

Christopher Young score to An Unfinished Life has not completely been replaced. Due to some editorial changes in the movie, the producers felt that the score should go in a different direction to what was originally recorded. Young's score will still be used in this movie but the Varése CD which has been annouced today will not contain any of his cues.

Eine entsprechende Diskussion diesbezüglich gibt es hier.
