The film “The Last Mimzy” will feature “Hello (I Love You),” a new song from Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters.
The song will be featured in the film, and will play during the end credits. It will also be included on New Line Cinema‘s release of the official film sountrack this spring.
Waters collaborated with James Guthrie (“The Wall”) and composer Howard Shore (“The Lord of the Rings”) on the new song.
“It has been great collaborating with (director) Bob Shaye and Howard Shore on ‘The Last Mimzy,'” says Waters. “I think together we’ve come up with a song that captures the themes of the movie, the clash between humanity’s best and worst instincts, and how a child’s innocence can win the day.”
Musicians on the track, which was written by Waters and Shore, include drummer Steve Gadd (Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Steely Dan), guitarist Gerry Leonard (music director and guitarist for David Bowie), and Waters on bass and vocals. The film’s 6-year-old star, Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, sings along with Waters on the chorus.
The film stars Timothy Hutton (“Ordinary People”), Joely Richardson (“Nip/Tuck”) and Rainn Wilson, and is based on a science fiction short story by Lewis Padgett. It tells the story of two children who discover a mysterious box that contains some strange devices they think are toys.
The film will be released nationwide on March 23.
