47 RONIN Music Composed by Ilan Eshkeri (Coriolanus, Kick-Ass) Keanu Reeves makes an explosive return to action-adventure in 47 RONIN. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves) — a half-breed they once rejected — as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors. As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity. Composer Ilan Eshkeri’s (Kick-Ass) epic score offers a powerful and exotic mix of cello, percussion and flute with symphony orchestra, capturing all the color, action, emotion and drama of the story. Universal Pictures will open 47 RONIN?nationwide on December 25. Varese Sarabande Catalog # 302 067 246 8 Release Date: 12/17/13 http://www.varesesarabande.com/servlet/the-1138/47-Ronin/Detail

The fact this Varese blurb tells me there is an "exotic mix of cello, percussion and flute with symphony orchestra" is a bit more than some of their usual descriptions. And yes, they are referring to the fact that Eshkeri was one of the co-composers on the film KICK-ASS and not using some lame, nonsense term.

I am listening to the samples now... and I love what I hear very much! Ilan Eshkeri is slowly becoming one of my favorite current composers.

Fantastic samples there. I'm really looking forward to seeing this film and hearing the score in full. Looks like a great deal of it made its way onto the album. I'm completely unfamiliar with the work of Ilan Eshkeri, but it sounds like he'll be one to keep an ear out for.
