DAVID NEWMAN on-board "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel"

According to GSA, David Newman is responsible for the musical accompaniment of the 2nd installment in the Alvin and the Chipmunks saga, laughably entitled Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is an upcoming 2009 American live-action/CGI and sequel to the 2007 film starring Jason Lee, David Cross, Cameron Richardson, Zachary Levi and the voices of Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Anna Faris, Christina Applegate and Amy Poehler.

The film features Alvin and the Chipmunks and their female counterparts, The Chipettes. It will be directed by Betty Thomas and distributed by 20th Century Fox, and produced by Regency Enterprises and Bagdasarian Productions. It was originally scheduled to be premiered on March 19, 2010, but it was moved up to a Christmas 2009 release instead. This film is rated PG for mild rude humor.

The movie will also feature performances by the winners of the third season of America's Best Dance Crew, Quest Crew. David Seville (Jason Lee) sends Alvin (Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler), and Theodore (Jesse McCartney) off to school, saying that it is "good for them". Little does he know, the Chipmunks feel like "Chipmunks Out of Water" on account of all the human students around. Meanwhile, Ian Hawke (David Cross) (after the loss of the Chipmunks dealt him a serious blow) searches the world for animals who can sing and dance. He happens upon Brittany (Anna Faris), Jeanette (Christina Applegate), and Eleanor (Amy Poehler), the Chipettes, and cannot wait to make them famous, and get his sworn revenge on the Chipmunks.[

The Spirit: Original Motion Picture Score (DAVID NEWMAN)

The Spirit (also known as Will Eisner's The Spirit) is an upcoming 2008 American film adaptation based on the newspaper strip of the same name created by Will Eisner. Batfilm, OddLot, and Lionsgate are set to produce. Frank Miller wrote and directed the film, which stars Gabriel Macht as The Spirit and Samuel L. Jackson as his nemesis, The Octopus.

The film also stars the celebrated Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes

Writer / Director Frank Miller had this to say about the character:

"The character has a terrifying side to him. This is a man who's died and come back to life. So it twists into fantasy. And of course there are tons of women in it. There have to be — it's the Spirit. They’re all in love with him, and he’s in love with all of them. You might say he’s a bit of a slut"

(wikipedia)

The movie's original score is composed by 55 year old American composer David Newman and here's what amazon.com has to say about the release:

"Frank Miller, the visionary creator of SIN CITY and 300, takes the comic book movie to dazzling new heights with his solo directorial debut THE SPIRIT. Adapted from the seminal series created by the great Will Eisner, THE SPIRIT fuses masterful storytelling with brilliant CGI graphics to sweep us into a stylized world of adventure, danger and romance.
