I got the chance to see an early press screening of The Book of Eli tonight and was very excited to hear the soundtrack as it played out in the film. I ended up being very impressed with the story, the cinematography and the way that the music helps to tell the story.
I’ve been a fan of 12 Rounds for over 12 years and have helped to maintain this website for almost that long. I’ve seen 12 Rounds in concert, Claudia and Leopold play with nearLY in Los Angeles and talked with all three, and one of my biggest thrills as a fan of this band was to see a frame in the credits that said the following:
Music by
Atticus Ross
Claudia Sarne
and Leopold Ross.
The Book of Eli is in theaters today. Check it out not just for the music but for the brilliant film the Hughes Brothers have produced.
