THE MUMMY Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album to Be Released on Back Lot Music

The music of The Mummy is the latest release from Brian Tyler, a prolific composer and conductor of more than 70 films. Of his writing process, Tyler said: "Composing the score for The Mummy was an incredible experience. Alex [Kurtzman] and I started talking about the score very early on during the script phase. I began composing themes in late 2015. I even had the chance to discuss the score with Tom Cruise (a true score aficionado) when he attended my concert in London and when I visited the set watching him at work. Both Alex and Tom are very knowledgeable about scores and were great collaborators. The score needed to hit various aspects of the narrative, as well as creating a mood unto itself."

In regards to Tyler's score for the film and working with the composer, director Kurtzman said: "I've had the pleasure and privilege of working with Brian Tyler for almost ten years and it's gotten to the point that we now seem to share a brain.  I found myself using fewer and fewer words to describe what I was looking for because he usually cut me off by finishing my sentences.  No matter how many curve balls I threw his way, he rose to the challenge and dug deeper than I've ever seen him do out of a pure love for the process of composing.  He's written something classical but contemporary, lyrical and full of romance.  He marries adventure, tragedy, yearning, mystery, horror, and humor in a way that echoes all our soundtrack heroes, yet with an ear that's uniquely his.  I'm proud to say I think The Mummy is his best score to date, and I truly hope you'll agree."

Tyler conducted the London Philharmonia at Abbey Road with the Pinewood Singers Choir for the bedrock of the score, while playing many Egyptian percussive instruments to supplement the sound. Tyler went on to say: "The movie is almost entirely music and plays an important role in the film - guiding both its emotion and narrative. This was a responsibility not lost on me and I am grateful for Alex, Tom, and all of Universal putting their faith in me to bring the musical voice of The Mummy alive!"

No stranger to scoring films for Universal, Tyler recently scored The Fate of the Furious, which just crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office.  Collectively, the films Tyler has scored have grossed more $12 billion worldwide. Prior, Tyler arranged and conducted the film logo music for Universal Pictures and composed a theme for the centennial anniversary of the studio.

About the Film
Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy. 

Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.

From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television's Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV's American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson), Marwan Kenzari (The Promise) and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).

The creative team on this action-adventure event is led by director/producer Alex Kurtzman and producer Chris Morgan, who have been instrumental in growing some of the most successful franchises of the past several years—with Kurtzman writing or producing entries in theTransformers, Star Trek and Mission: Impossible series, and Morgan being the narrative engineer of the Fast & Furious saga as it has experienced explosive growth from its third chapter on.  Sean Daniel, who produced the most recent Mummy trilogy, and Sarah Bradshaw (Maleficent) produce alongside Kurtzman and Morgan.
