Alex Ebert Scores A24’s A MOST VIOLENT YEAR – Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac Star In New Poster And Featurette

A striking new poster featuring Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac is here for A MOST VIOLENT YEAR. The two chase the American Dream in the latest featurette for director J.C. Chandor’s upcoming film.

Watch the trailer HERE.

Directed and written by Academy Award nominee J.C. Chandor (All Is Lost, Margin Call), A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. Also starring David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, and Albert Brooks, the gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay.

Golden Globe winning composer/singer/songwriter Alex Ebert scores A24’s dark crime drama. Ebert returned to work with Chandor following the success of their previous collaboration, ALL IS LOST.

With a sound indicative of era, Ebert’s score uses piano, synth, and percussion to capture the tension and emotional pressure faced by Isaac’s Abel Morales, as he fights to protect his business and family.

“America for Me” is Ebert’s avant garde original song for the film highlighting the dark side of achieving the American Dream, where best intentions yield to raw instinct. Ebert’s experience working on A MOST WANTED YEAR was unlike any of his previous film endeavors.

With the film examining Morales’ determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, caught up in simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks that threaten his business, family, and his belief in the righteousness of his path, Ebert was inspired to musically capture this struggle with “America for Me.” “This experience transformed the way I think about music,” stated Ebert.

A MOST WANTED YEAR will be in NY and LA on December 31, 2014 and will expand in January 2015.
