THE MONUMENTS MEN Cast On “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Sneak Peek; Listen To Clips From Alexandre Desplat’s Score
Check out the sneak peek clip from this Thursday night’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” featuring the cast of director/actor George Clooney’s new film, THE MONUMENTS MEN, including Clooney, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Cate Blanchett, and even Kimmel’s arch-enemy, Matt Damon.
The episode also includes a new edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live’s” famed “Mean Tweets” segment, featuring all six members of “The Monuments Men” cast reading horrible comments from social media about themselves.
5-time Oscar nominee Alexandre Desplat (THE KING’S SPEECH, ARGO) composed the score for the film. As with many of his previous works, Desplat’s music takes the viewer on an exciting journey in the same way Frank De Vol did with THE DIRTY DOZEN and Elmer Bernstein did in THE GREAT ESCAPE. He totally captures the rousing themes of an old-time, big Hollywood World War II movie.
Listen to clips from the soundtrack.
Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, THE MONUMENTS MEN is an action drama focusing on seven over-the-hill, out-of-shape museum directors, artists, architects, curators, and art historians who went to the front lines of WWII to rescue the world’s artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and return them to their rightful owners.
With the art hidden behind enemy lines, how could these guys hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.
From director George Clooney, the film stars George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, and Cate Blanchett. The screenplay is by George Clooney & Grant Heslov, based on the book by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter. Produced by Grant Heslov and George Clooney.
Catch the film in theaters this Friday, February 7.
