TRENT REZNOR, ATTICUS ROSS, Gustavo SantaOlalla AND MOGWAI CREATE MUSIC FOR BEFORE THE FLOOD   Before The Flood Has Its World Premiere Today At Toronto International Film Festival

Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Gustavo Santaolalla and Mogwai have created music for the feature documentary Before the Flood. The film, a call to action from longtime environmental advocate Leonardo DiCaprio and actor/filmmaker/Oscar-winning documentary producer Fisher Stevens (The Cove, Racing Extinction), will have its world premiere today at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Acting as music supervisors for the first time, Reznor and Ross worked in tandem with Santaolalla and Mogwai to compose a blend of music with a cohesive vision, resulting in the score for Before the Flood along with an album to be released in October. Details to follow.

 

"The incredible music composed for Before the Flood was one of the most unique collaborations I can think of in scoring a film," said Fisher Stevens. "Reznor, Ross, Santaolalla and Mogwai become one voice in capturing the emotion and feeling of Leonardo DiCaprio's journey to understanding where we stand in terms of climate change, how far gone we are, what can we do about solving this issue and why people are still resistant to understanding how important it is."

 

Before the Flood will be in theaters in New York City and Los Angeles beginning October 21. The film will air globally - in 171 countries and 45 languages - on the National Geographic Channel starting October 30.
