Across The Universe

The soundtrack to the 2007 jukebox musical romantic drama film Across the Universe directed by Julie Taymor, features songs from the Beatles, on which the film was centered and itself based on the song of the same name by Lennon–McCartney. It features 34 Beatles compositions that are incorporated for the film and sung by the lead cast, Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, T. V. Carpio, Dana Fuchs, Martin Luther McCoy, Bono, Eddie Izzard, Joe Cocker and Salma Hayek. The album is compiled and produced by T Bone Burnett, Matthias Gohl and Elliot Goldenthal. Goldenthal who previously worked on Taymor's Titus and Frida, had composed the film's original score, which is also included in the album. The album was released as Across the Universe by Interscope Records on September 14, 2007, debuting a 16-track album featuring half of the songs heard in the film. A deluxe edition was released on October 2, 2007 featuring all the songs performed by the cast, as well as an incidental score composed by Goldenthal. The physical edition of the album omitted two tracks: "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" and "I Want You".
