Magnum Farce Gears Up for Feature Film Production

 

Soundtrack Production and Distribution by EBE Records

UPDATE: Listen to artist snippets HERE!

Magnum-wielding detective Dick Hardon is on the trail of a maniacal sniper out to ruin his lunch.

The short, Magnum Farce: A Shot in the Park, is geared to the underserved older-teen-to-adult animation market for fans of Scary Movie, Naked Gun, and Meet The Spartans. Based on the multiple-award winning screenplay,  Magnum Farce is a spoof of the iconic Dirty Harry films starring Clint Eastwood.

 



Featuring the voice talent of Matt Godecker, Kyle Hebert, William Keenan, Shirley Hughes, Rachael Mollric, Dan Worren, and Richard Herlan, Magnum Farce is currently in production for a feature film adaptation. To compliment the amazing voice talent, EBE Records has been tasked with assembling the film's soundtrack.


"I was blown away by Perimeter of the Void's latest album release 'Dust' - It's cinematic scope that employed an orchestral tone woven around a solid rock core screamed 'big screen sound' and I immediately wanted to secure their participation in the movie soundtrack for the CG animated feature Magnum Farce as it gears up for preproduction." says Bella Fe Films Executive Producer/Director, Ken Mora.

"I was also impressed by the distribution of the album provided by EBE Records and have determined that their publishing model is the right one for the eventual Magnum Farce soundtrack. I welcome their innovation and experience as I put together the dynamite music talent."

"Providing an opportunity to showcase our musical talent to compliment a feature film is incredibly exciting" says EBE Records CEO Steve Baptista. "Perimeter of the Void has been interested in this project since its inception and are humbled by their inclusion in the film's soundtrack".

"We are both proud and eager to be part of this continued phenomenon." says Perimeter of the Void founder Thom Pelletier. "Magnum Farce is sure to attract quite a bit of attention upon completion and I believe our involvement will serve to compliment the dedication and professionalism of this highly anticipated project."

"I'm happy to reveal", continues Ken, "though, I don't want to tip my hand on the surprise ending of Magnum Farce for my fellow Clint Eastwood fans, but Bella Fe Films welcomes aboard, Rex Hobart's Spaghetti Western Orchestra for the original composition 'The Good, The Bad, and the Anorexic' for the final scene - as Stan Lee says: 'nuff said."

"Lastly", Ken adds "for the growing fan base of Gurdonark, exclusive scoremeister for the short Magnum Farce: A Shot in the Park which introduces San Francisco's intrepid Detective Dick Hardon - don't worry, he will be staying aboard with his unique 'wierdbient' tracks."

EBE Records will be producing and distributing the soundtrack album and will operate as agent for Bella Fe Films in matters of both the Master Use License and the Motion Picture Synchronization License.

The Magnum Farce Feature Film Soundtrack includes EBE Records recording artists Perimeter of the Void, Xerjester (D7 Peacemaker), and DJ Unicron, as well as Steve Holtman (X-Men 2, Sin City, Wanted, Watchmen), Rex Hobart's Spaghetti Western Orchestra, Asunta Fleming (Possessed) and Gurdonark (Magnum Farce: A Shot in the Park).

And to ensure every element sounds its absolute best, two-time Emmy Award winner Rick Paltrow has joined the feature film project. "I've gotta tell you, you're one sick puppy.." said Partlow to Ken Mora "..and for that, I'm 100% on board." Paltrow's Foley and sound editing credits include Battlestar Galactica (SyFy Channel), Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney), and Boogie Nights (New Line Cinema). Rick Paltrow's resume can be viewed at IMDb.
