Featuring original score by Score composed by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans
Sony Music announces the release of THE GIFT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) featuring the music of Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans.
About THE GIFT:
Simon and Robyn are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?
From the producer of “Whiplash” and “The Purge”, Jason Blum’s Blumhouse, comes a contemporary psychological thriller that marks the feature directorial debut of acclaimed actor and writer Joel Edgerton (“The Great Gatsby”, “Zero Dark Thirty”, “Warrior”), starring Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall and Edgerton.
The film opens across Australia 27th August 2015.
