Alpha Dog
About the Record
Chosen as the closing film for the Sundance Film Festival, Nick Cassavetes'
(The Notebook, John Q) Alpha Dog surprises the audience again and again.
The cast not only makes the Los Angeles landscape come alive, but also creates
deep, affecting relationships.
The story was inspired by actual events, revolving around a mid-level drug
dealer from California's San Gabriel Valley, whose thirst for power led
him to become the youngest man ever to appear on the FBI's Most Wanted list,
at age 19. Emile Hirsch stars as teenage suburban drug dealer Johnny Truelove
(based on the real life criminal Jesse James Hollywood), an ambitious young
man whose lifestyle is a mecca for guns, sex and drugs. When a "client"
cheats Johnny and a deal goes bad, he devises a plan to get his money back
by kidnapping the client's younger brother. As The Hollywood Reporter put
it, "Cassavetes simply plunges you into an unhealthy environment of
social disintegration and never eases up."
The soundtrack is young, hip and gritty, consisting of classic '90s hip-hop,
funk and rock that makes these streets come alive. Alpha Dog is rounded
off with grooving, fresh, original hip-hop by Aaron Zigman, who also scored
Cassavetes's The Notebook and John Q. This hip-hop was specifically written
for the film, performed by a variety of artists.
Alpha Dog opens in wide release on January 12, 2007.
Cast Includes: Emile Hirsch (Lords of Dogtown), JustinTimberlake, Sharon
Stone, Bruce Willis and more.
Soundtrack in stores January 9, 2007.
