Sony Music is excited to announce the release of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the holiday action-comedy “Red One”, with music by Henry Jackman. Jackman’s previous film scores include other action-adventure hits like “X-Men: First Class”, “Wreck-It Ralph”, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, and “Captain America: Civil War”, as well as “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and “Jumanji: The Next Level”, both by “Red One” director Jake Kasdan . The soundtrack for “Red One” is available to stream now on all major platforms, along with the film hitting US theaters by Amazon MGM Studios.
Jackman notes, “Red One is not your normal Christmas movie. It’s a really clever film that gave me a huge opportunity to mix fantastical styles of music alongside espionage, procedural, and magical realism. Dwayne Johnson continues to surprise me with the sincerity of his acting which allows me to write music with that emotional anchor. The film’s score explores genres of jazz funk, orchestral, action, and terrifying blockbuster. It was a joy to compose this movie and work with Jake Kasdan.”

ABOUT HENRY JACKMAN
With a unique blend of classical training and a background in electronic music production, Henry Jackman has established himself as one of today’s leading film composers. His ability to fuse orchestral grandeur with modern, electronic elements has allowed him to create distinctive scores across a wide variety of genres and cinematic styles.
Jackman grew up in the southeast of England, where he began composing his first symphony at the age of six. He studied classical music at Oxford and sang in the St. Paul’s Cathedral Choir—but simultaneously became involved in the underground rave scene and began producing popular electronica music and dance remixes, eventually working with artists such as Seal and The Art of Noise.
In 2006, Jackman caught the attention of film composers Hans Zimmer and John Powell, which led to him writing additional music for Powell on “Kung Fu Panda” and for Zimmer on “The Dark Knight”, “The Da Vinci Code”, and “Pirates of the Caribbean”. His diverse background in both classical and electronic music made him a perfect fit for these genre-blurring soundtracks, which rapidly led to scoring blockbuster films on his own. His first solo feature film was Monsters vs. Aliens, directed by Rob Letterman.
His most recent works include Amazon Studios’ Christmas film “Red One” and Netflix’s “The Gray Man” from The Russo Brothers, starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. He also scored “Jumanji 3”, a continuation of the magical board game adventure story, and Detective Pikachu, following the story of the beloved Pokémon character Pikachu, starring Ryan Reynolds, as well as “Ralph Breaks the Internet”, which was nominated for Best Animated Feature. His other diverse credits include The Russo Brothers’ “Cherry”, “Ron’s Gone Wrong”, Marvel’s “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, “Captain America: Civil War”, “Kong: Skull Island”, “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back”, “Big Hero 6”, and “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”.
