Island Records Group are proud to announce release of the official soundtrack to one of the most highly anticipated British films of the year ‘One Day’. As well as the key music from the film, the soundtrack will have a totally new song by Elvis Costello called ‘Sparkling Day’. ‘One Day’ has a UK theatrical release date of Friday 26th August 2011. It is an adaptation from the internationally bestselling novel by David Nicholls, who also wrote the screenplay for the movie. The novel and film spans two decades but all scenes take place on a single date – 15th July, St Swithin’s Day. It’s a tale of the loves and fortunes of two characters - Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew – who first meet on the last day of student life in Edinburgh on 15th July 1988. Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess star in the co-production between Random House Inc’s Random House Films division, Focus Features and the UK’s Film4. Nina Jacobson (the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies) is producing One Day, and Tessa Ross, controller, Film4 & Channel 4 drama, is executive-producing. The book was #1 on both the hardcover and paperback bestseller charts in the U.K. It was published in the U.S. as a trade paperback original last June 15 by Vintage Books, a paperback imprint of Random House,. ‘One Day’ spent 12 weeks on The New York Times Trade Paperback Fiction Bestseller list, rising to the #4 position. The New York Times Book Review named ‘One Day’ among the 100 Notable Books of 2010. Academy Award winner Rachel Portman (Emma) composed the film’s original score. Filming took place on location in the U.K., as well as in Scotland and France. Ms. Scherfig previously helmed the Best Picture Academy Award nominee An Education. The soundtrack brings together some classic emotive 90s tracks, Rachel Portman’s original score and the sensational new track by musical great Elvis Costello.
