LAKESHORE RECORDS TO RELEASE PIRANHA 3DD – ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE
SCORE

Featuring Original Music by Elia Cmiral

(May 16, 2012 – Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the
Piranha 3DD – Original Motion Picture Score digitally on May 29th and
in stores on June 19, 2012. The soundtrack for the horror comedy
sequel to 2010’s Piranha 3D, features original music by Elia Cmiral
(Atlas Shrugged Part 1, Splinter).

“From the first scenes of the movie that I watched,” said Cmiral, “I
immediately recognized a great opportunity to write a very different
score from any of the others in my career.”

“P3DD marks my fourth collaboration with Elia and quite possibly my
favorite,” said producer Joel Soisson. “Having a composer of Elia's
sophisticated genius rise to this level of inspired silliness is a bit
like Dvořák scoring Pee Wee's Playhouse. It just works, brilliantly.”

Born in Czechoslovakia, Elia Cmiral is the son of an actress and a
theater director, and grandson of one of Antonin Dvorak’s pupils.
Cmiral attended the Prague Music Conservatory, where he studied
composition and double bass. Elia’s first scoring opportunity came
with his father’s production of “Cyrano de Bergerac.”

By the early 80s, Cmiral had moved to Sweden. Throughout his time
there, he wrote scores for several European films, TV and three
ballets. In 1989 he moved to the United States to attend USC’s
Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television program. Soon after
graduating from USC, Cmiral scored his first American feature,
Apartment Zero, starring Colin Firth. To date, Cmiral has written
nearly forty scores, including Stigmata, Wrong Turn, Tooth and Nail,
and Splinter. His upcoming releases include Rites of Passage.

After the terror unleashed on Lake Victoria in Piranha 3D, the pre-
historic school of bloodthirsty piranhas are back. This time, no one
is safe from the flesh eating fish as they sink their razor sharp
teeth into the visitors of summer’s best attraction, The Big Wet Water
Park.

Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) reprises his role as the
eccentric piranha expert with survivor Paul Scheer (The League) and a
partially devoured Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction) back for more fish
frenzy. David Hasselhoff trades in the sandy beaches of “Baywatch” to
be a celebrity lifeguard at the racy water park. Prepare for double
the terror, double the action and double the fun in this sequel also
starring Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon), Katrina Bowden (30 Rock),
Danielle Panabaker (The Crazies), Matt Bush (Adventureland), Chris
Zylka (The Amazing Spider-Man) and David Koechner (Anchorman: The
Legend of Ron Burgundy).

“I felt as though the score should enhance the ridiculousness as much
as possible rather than trying to smooth over the mood shifts and
flatten all of its ups and downs,” explained Cmiral. “Musically
speaking, playing it ‘straight’ based on what happens on screen helped
to give the film an enjoyable ‘over the top’ feel. My approach to
select from a variety of genres turned out to work very well.”

“From his earnestly heroic theme in ‘Return of the Piranha’ to his
soaring aria in ‘Trident Aria,’ Elia Cmiral's score is nothing but
thrilling. The fact that his score plays it 'straight' only heightens
the ridiculousness of a wacky movie like Piranha 3DD,” said director
John Gulager. “Suffice it to say there is a tasty aural candy
throughout the score. Piranha 3DD would not be the same without it
and I am grateful to Elia for coming aboard.”

Dimension Films presents Piranha 3DD, in theaters and on demand on
June 1, 2012. The Piranha 3DD -- Original Motion Picture Score on
Lakeshore Records will be available digitally on May 29th and in
stores on June 19, 2012.
