Snow White & the Huntsman The Bourne Legacy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack After Earth

The Bourne Legacy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 2012 film The Bourne Legacy, which is the fourth installment in the series of films adapted from the Jason Bourne novels by Robert Ludlum and Eric Van Lustbader. The musical score is composed by James Newton Howard, becoming the first film in the series not to be composed by John Powell, who provided music for previous Bourne installments, due to his interest in scoring animated films.[1] The album was digitally released through Back Lot Music on August 7, 2012,[2] and a physical release by Varèse Sarabande on August 21, 2012.[3] The album featured a new version of Moby's "Extreme Ways"[4] subtitled with "Bourne's Legacy" released as a single on July 31.[5][6] The music received mixed critical response.
