March 22 2022 - 8:00AM
Reservoir Media, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSVR) (“Reservoir” or the
“Company”), an award-winning independent music company, today
announced the acquisition of rights in the catalog of award-winning
film score composer Henry Jackman. The deal includes rights in
Jackman’s entire catalog, including scores for blockbuster feature
films like the Captain America franchise, Wreck-It Ralph, Jumanji,
and many more.
Born in England, Jackman’s unique background
blends classical music training at Oxford with years as a
successful record producer and creator of electronic music,
establishing him as one of today’s most inventive and sought-after
composers.
Jackman’s first endeavors in scoring and
composition began in 2006 when he collaborated across several major
blockbuster projects with Hans Zimmer, including Kung Fu Panda and
The Pirate of the Caribbean series. He has since served as the
primary composer on countless hit films, including Captain America:
The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Kong: Skull
Island, X-Men: First Class, Captain Phillips, Wreck-It
Ralph, Big Hero 6, and more. Beyond film, he composed the theme
for Marvel’s TV series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and
for video games Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Just
Cause 3. In addition to these works, he released three solo albums:
Utopia, Transfiguration, and Acoustica.
Jackman garnered wide recognition for his
versatility in composing across genres and mediums. He received
four ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards for Top Box Office
Films, while the International Film Music Critics Association
(IFMCA) nominated him for Breakout Composer of the Year in 2009.
That same year, Jackman took home his first Annie Award for Music
in an Animated Television Production or Short Form, and in 2013 he
won his second Annie Award for Music in an Animated Feature
Production for his score for Wreck-It Ralph. He has also received a
BAFTA nomination for Best Film Music and a BAFTA Games Award
nomination for Best Music.
On the deal, Jackman said, “Thanks to this
unique and forward-looking collaboration with Reservoir, I am now
able to focus exclusively on pursuing whichever projects I find
most creatively inspiring. For this, I am exceptionally
grateful.”
Reservoir Founder and Chief Executive Officer,
Golnar Khosrowshahi added, “Henry’s accomplishments truly speak for
themselves. He has contributed fantastic music to a litany of
blockbuster films and beyond. We are immensely proud to add his
celebrated compositions to our growing film score catalog.”
The deal with Jackman supplements Reservoir’s
existing collection of film music, which includes a joint venture
with Atlantic Screen Music, one of the world’s leading film score
and soundtrack production companies, and a deal with client Hans
Zimmer, the award-winning composer-producer behind scores for
motion pictures like The Lion King, the Pirates of the Caribbean
series, Gladiator, The Dark Knight trilogy, and more.
