(New York, NY, July 6, 2001) — On July 10th, Decca Records will release the highly anticipated soundtrack to Jurassic Park III. It features the award-winning original themes by John Williams plus new music composed by Don Davis (The Matrix). The album also includes “Big Hat, No Cattle” — a memorable song by Oscar-nominated songwriter Randy Newman which was first released on his 1999 album Bad Love.

The soundtrack album is also an enhanced CD containing exclusive bonus material such as the movie trailer, the video game trailer, photos, the Jurassic Park III “Dino Chart,” notes from composer Don Davis, and a link to the Jurassic Park website.

Jurassic Park III continues the series that began with Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Joe Johnston (October Sky, Jumanji), who first collaborated with Steven Spielberg on Raiders Of The Lost Ark, directs and Spielberg is Executive Producer. The wizards at Industrial Light & Magic and Stan Winston once again combine forces to create the dazzling dinosaur effects.

Anxious to fund research for his new theory of velociraptor intelligence, renowned paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) is persuaded by a wealthy adventurer (William H. Macy) and his wife (Téa Leoni) to accompany them on an aerial tour of Isla Sorna. This infamous island, once InGen’s site B, has become both a primordial breeding ground for John Hammond’s magnificent creations and a magnet for thrill seekers eager to encounter them.

When a tragic accident maroons the party of seven, Grant discovers the true reason his deceptive hosts have invited him along. In their perilous attempt to escape with their lives, the dwindling group encounters terrifying new creatures undisclosed by InGen, and Grant is forced to learn the dreadful implications of his raptor intelligence theory firsthand.

The film opens July 18th in theaters everywhere. The Decca soundtrack album will be released July 10th
