Kirsten Dunst, Orlando Bloom: Elizabethtown


Elizabethtown Soundtrack:
Tom Petty, Elton John & More

Paramount Pictures Film Elizabethtown, starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst hits theaters nationwide October 14, 2005.

“‘Elizabethtown’ is probably even more of a musical than ‘Almost Famous.’
The music is as important as any of the characters – it’s the movie’s inner voice,
a friendly guide and a secret muse.” – Cameron Crowe.

On September 13, 2005 RCA will release the original motion picture soundtrack to “Elizabethtown,” the new Paramount Pictures film by writer-director Cameron Crowe, starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst. Crowe hand-picked the songs for the soundtrack, which features young artists like My Morning Jacket and Ryan Adams as well as Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Elton John and Tom Petty, to name a few.

Crowe set out to achieve a true synthesis of sound and vision with the “Elizabethtown” soundtrack and the result plays like a dream road trip. “Hopefully,” Crowe enthuses, “like some of my very favorite movies, from ‘Harold and Maude’ to ‘Shampoo’ and ‘The Royal Tennenbaums,’ the music [featured in ‘Elizabethtown’] is forever married to the images and the people we come to know so well in those two wondrous hours spent watching in the dark.”

A love letter to the resilience of the life force, “Elizabethtown” is a story of an unexpected romance that develops against the backdrop of a Kentucky patriarch’s elaborate memorial.
