About the Composer(s)
Christopher Young is a highly acclaimed, Golden Globe-nominated American composer and orchestrator best known for his atmospheric, suspenseful, and chillingly memorable scores in the horror, thriller, and action-adventure genres. A graduate of Manhattan School of Music and UCLA, Young has scored over 100 films, developing a reputation as one of Hollywood's leading voices for supernatural and dark dramatic orchestration.

For Mark Steven Johnson's 2007 Marvel superhero film Ghost Rider, Young composed a high-energy, dark, and operatic score. He combined heavy brass, aggressive rock-influenced percussion, electric guitar riffs, and soaring gothic choral arrangements to match Nicolas Cage's fiery performance and the film's dark comic book aesthetic.

About the Movie
Based on the Marvel Comics character, Columbia Pictures' 2007 superhero action film Ghost Rider follows Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage), a world-famous motorcycle stunt rider. As a teenager, Johnny made a desperate deal with the devilish Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) to save his father's life, sacrificing his soul and his true love, Roxanne Simpson (Eva Mendes). Years later, Mephistopheles returns to claim his debt, transforming Johnny into the Ghost Rider, a flaming-skulled vigilante who serves as the devil's bounty hunter.
Johnny must use his supernatural powers to hunt down Blackheart (Wes Bentley), Mephistopheles' rebellious and ruthless son who seeks to unleash hell on Earth. Directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil), the dark comic book film is set to an epic, gothic, and rock-infused original orchestral score composed by Christopher Young, reflecting the fiery journey of Marvel's iconic Spirit of Vengeance.
