Santa Monica, CA (March 9, 2005) - Activision today announced that APM
film and television composer Gregor Narholz is set to score X-Men Legends II.
From Activision:
Through an agreement with APM, Narholz – who composed the original score for
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie and whose library compositions have been used in
Return to Neverland, The Rookie and Soul Plane, as well as television shows Star
Trek, The X-Files, Seinfeld, Friends and Saturday Night Live – will compose and
arrange the music for the highly anticipated sequel.
"The futuristic, high adrenaline adventures of the X-Men create a prolific
playground for my imagination and music," said Narholz. “I am looking forward to
creating unique, modular compositions to underscore this exciting new branded
interactive production.”
In addition to his work in Hollywood, Narholz is an accomplished conductor who
is co-founder and co-director of the Budapest Film Orchestra. Much of Narholz’s
music can be licensed in the APM library as well.
“Narholz's ability to create distinctive and powerful music will add a unique
dimension and energy to the X-Men Legends sequel,” said Will Kassoy, vice
president of global brand management, Activision Publishing. “Given his talents
and success in composing for film and television, I know he will do an excellent
job of bringing Marvel’s X-Men universe to life in a score that perfectly
complements the game.”
X-Men Legends II is currently in development by Raven Software and will be
available later this year. The first game in the X-Men Legends series is
currently available worldwide for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.
