WATERTOWER MUSIC PRESENTS
THE DISASTER ARTIST – ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
FEATURING MUSIC BY DAVE PORTER
(December 8th, 2017 – Los Angeles, CA) – WaterTower Music announced today’s release of The Disaster Artist - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The album features the movie’s original score by Dave Porter (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Blacklist) and dialogue clips from the movie by James Franco. The Disaster Artist is now in theaters nationwide.
"James Franco's passion for this story and his incredible performance as Tommy Wiseau raised the stakes for all of us fortunate enough to collaborate with him on The Disaster Artist,” Explains Porter. “He inspired all of us to find the "Tommy" within ourselves, and express warmth, hope, and compassion for two protagonists that we might have expected to simply be laughing at. Because at its core, The Disaster Artist is a success story - the remarkable journey of two good friends who risked everything for their dream, and my score aims to highlight that friendship through thick and thin all the way through to their unlikely triumph."

About THE DISASTER ARTIST:
With The Disaster Artist, James Franco transforms the tragicomic true-story of aspiring filmmaker and infamous Hollywood outsider Tommy Wiseau — an artist whose passion was as sincere as his methods were questionable — into a celebration of friendship, artistic expression, and dreams pursued against insurmountable odds. Based on Greg Sestero’s best-selling tell-all about the making of Tommy’s cult-classic disasterpiece The Room (“The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made”), The Disaster Artist is a hilarious and welcome reminder that there is more than one way to become a legend — and no limit to what you can achieve when you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing.
About Dave Porter:
Dave Porter is a Los Angeles based composer for television and film. He began his classical musical training at the piano at age five, but it was his interest in electronic music as a teen that led him to start composing his own music. He studied both classical and electronic music composition at Sarah Lawrence College under John Yannelli and started his professional career as an assistant at Philip Glass’ studio in New York City.
Dave is best known as the series composer for the Emmy-acclaimed drama “Breaking Bad,” scoring all 62 episodes and creating its iconic theme. Actor/Producer Bryan Cranston stated: “With his music, Dave Porter has created another character for Breaking Bad. Evocative and meaningful, Dave’s work is an essential part of the storytelling.” For his work on the series, Dave was awarded the inaugural ASCAP Composer’s Choice Award by his peers as Best Television Composer of 2013. He was also nominated for Best TV Composer by the World Soundtrack Academy Awards in 2017.
Dave currently scores 3 of television’s most talked about dramas. “Better Call Saul,” the Emmy nominated prequel to “Breaking Bad,” is helmed by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould and finished its third season, “Preacher,” from executive producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin, and “The Blacklist,” starring James Spader, which continues to be a worldwide hit. Dave also created the music for its spinoff series “The Blacklist: Redemption” in 2017.
On the big screen, Dave recently completed work on James Franco’s “The Disaster Artist,” based on Greg Sestero’s book of the same name which chronicles the creation of the cult film “The Room.” It comes from Good Universe, New Line Cinema, and Point Grey Pictures and will release theatrically December 1, 2017. Last year saw the release of “Term Life,” which was distributed by Universal Pictures and starred Vince Vaughn, Hailee Seinfeld, Terrence Howard, and Bill Paxton. Previous credits include the indie horror film “Smiley” and the Sundance Festival feature documentary “Bigger, Stronger, Faster.”
