Emmy nominated composer Christopher Lennertz returns to score Warner Brothers’ comedy HORRIBLE BOSSES 2, bringing a rock-n’-roll edge to the highly anticipated sequel opening in theaters November 26th.

The film picks up on the story of Dale, Kurt and Nick as they decide to start their own business. When things don’t go as planned, the trio is prompted to pull off a harebrained and misguided kidnapping scheme. Directed by Sean Anders, the film returns Jason Batemen, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston, with Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine rounding out the all-star cast.

Lennertz organized an all-star band of musicians for the score, including Pearl Jam lead guitarist Michael McCready and Dave Matthews Band bassist Stefan Lessard.

“The goal for the score for Horrible Bosses 2 was to be as rock-n’-roll as we could be. We wanted to make sure it sounded authentic so we approached it like a record as opposed to a typical scoring session. I had Pearl Jam’s Michael McCready and Dave Matthews Band’s Stefan Lessard recording while they were on tour to give us an authentic vibe that was appropriate for the movie,” explained Lennertz. In addition to select cues from Lennertz’s score, the Horrible Bosses 2 soundtrack features an array of hit songs ranging from modern pop hits such as Katy Perry’s “Roar” to hip-hop classics like NWA’s “Straight Outta Compton.”

The HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 soundtrack will be available November 25th on WaterTower Records.
