FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LAKESHORE RECORDS RELEASES THE SOUNDTRACK FOR CITY OF MEN

RETURN TO THE FAVELAS OF BRAZIL WITH THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE 2002 ACADEMY
AWARDT NOMINATED FILM CITY OF GOD

(January 10, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) - Lakeshore Records will release the
original motion picture soundtrack for CITY OF MEN. The album features
original music by Golden Globe-nominated composer Antonio Pinto (CENTRAL
STATION, LOVE AND DEATH IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA).

Brazilian composer Antonio Pinto was named "Discovery of the Year" at the
2003 World Soundtrack Awards/Flanders International Film Festival and was
nominated for a Golden Globe award for the song "Despedida", which he
co-wrote with Shakira. He made his domestic debut in Brazil in 1994, but
first attracted international attention for his work on CENTRAL
STATION in
1998. Four years later he composed the music for CITY OF GOD and was
selected by Michael Mann to write the end credit for COLLATERAL. Pinto's
credits also include LORD OF WAR and LOVE AND DEATH IN THE TIME OF
CHOLERA.

The 2002 film CITY OF GOD introduced the world to the horrors of the
slums
of Rio de Janeiro and followed the lives of several kids who grew up
in the
slums through the 60s, 70s and 80s. Utilizing the same setting and same
actors, but set in the present day, CITY OF MEN became a television
mini-series running from 2002-2005. The TV series transitions to the big
screen with the new film CITY OF MEN.

In CITY OF MEN, producer Fernando Meirelles (The Constant Gardner)
returns
to the Brazilian favelas of his Academy AwardT-nominated film, CITY OF
GOD.
Growing up in a culture dictated by violence and run by street gangs,
teenagers Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha (Darlan Cunha) have
become
close as brothers. With their eighteenth birthdays fast approaching,
Laranjinha sets out to find the father he never met, while Acerola
struggles
to raise his own young son. But when they suddenly find themselves on
opposite sides of a gang war, the lifelong friends are forced to
confront a
shocking secret from their shared past.

Directed by Paulo Morelli, Miramax presents CITY OF MEN, in select
theaters
on January 18. The Lakeshore Records recording will be available on
iTunes
on January 1, 2008 and in stores on January 8.
