Warner Bros. Records has announced that it will release the original score to Paramount Pictures' World War Z on June 18th, three days before the eagerly anticipated film, which stars Brad Pitt, hits theaters nationwide.
The score was composed by two-time Academy Award nominee Marco Beltrami, who has composed the scores for such films as The Hurt Locker and 3:10 to Yuma (which earned him his Oscar nominations for Best Original Score), as well as Wes Craven's Scream franchise and Guillermo Del Toro's Mimic Hellboy, and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.

Kelly, and Tommy Lee Jones.
