After many delays and much anticipation, Danny Boyle‘s (director of “Trainspotting” and “28 Days Later“) new psychological sci-fi drama, “Sunshine,” will finally hit North American shores on July 20 (add this to our summer anticipated list).
As we mentioned before, “Sunshine,” has been complete for some time now and stars Cillian Murphy and Chris “it’s getting fratty in here” Evans. For a few months, it was feared the film would live in limbo (despite having already been released in the UK). In spite of the producers not wanting to reveal details on the soundtrack, information has leaked. To quote ourselves:
Apparently Underworld (of “Born Slippy” fame) has helped score the film which also includes a song from the band, I Am Kloot. Incidentally, the “Sunshine” trailer utilizes the oft-recycled Clint Mansell theme from “Requiem For a Dream” (also used in LOTR II trailer).
Though to modify the above with further info, Underworld contributes one song (“Peggy Sussed“) and the Kloot song is “Avenue Of Hope” (the latter of which can be heard in this version of the trailer).
“28 Days Later” composer John Murphy apparently scored much of “Sunshine” as well. A superfluous shit-ton of making-of interview with the cast and crew can be seen on the Sunshine website.
