    Stardust and Rocket Science

    Their titles may seem related, but their stories are worlds apart. So are their soundtracks, for that matter. Tonight we preview music from two films opening today, Stardust and Rocket Science.

Ilan Eshkeri

While Rocket Science features a compilation score (including a contribution by Evening Music's own David Garland), Stardust features an original score by British composer Ilan Eshkeri, whose credits also include Hannibal Rising and Black Hawk Down. The soundtrack for Stardust hits the shelves on September 11th; we offer a sneak preview tonight from the London Metropolitan Orchestra under the direction of the composer.
