‘FAME’
THE MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
DUE OUT AUGUST 25
Set in the intensely competitive atmosphere of New York City's prestigious School of Performing Arts, FAME captures the excitement and energy of young performers. The film introduces an entirely new set of characters, played by actor/performers Naturi Naughton (Denise), Collins Pennie (Malik), Asher Book (Marco) and Kay Panabaker (Jenny).
Composer/songwriter/producer Raney Shockne (“Tori & Dean: In Love,” “The Real World”) produced the remake of the FAME theme song and the remainder of the cast recordings for the film including Megan Mullally’s "You Took Advantage of Me" as well as all the audition scene songs including Marco's (Asher Book) version of the Grammy-winning song "Ordinary People" by John Legend. He also produced the duet of "Someone To Watch Over Me," sung by Jenny & Marco (Kay Panabaker and Asher Book).
Other stand-out tracks include “Get on the Floor” and “Hold Your Dream,” which were written for the film and appear alongside songs such as Sam Sparro’s recent hit “Black & Gold” and Santigold’s “You’ll Find A Way” as part of the album’s track listing. The resulting collection embodies the film’s contemporary look and sound.
FAME is directed by Kevin Tancharoen. The script was written by Allison Burnett and is based on the motion picture screenplay "FAME" by Christopher Gore. FAME is by Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, Richard Wright; Mark Canton is also attached as a producer.
