Justin Bieber to contribute two songs to Arthur Christmas
When Arthur Christmas, the 3D, CG-animated movie from Aardman for Sony Pictures Animation and Columbia Pictures, rolls into theaters on November 23rd, Justin Bieber's rendition of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town," from his new Christmas album "Under The Mistletoe," will play over the end credits. In addition, before the movie, moviegoers will see the exclusive music video for the song, which will premiere in theaters only with Arthur Christmas. The video will be inspired by the movie and feature footage from the film.
In addition, the album's debut single, "Mistletoe," will be heard in select TV spots for Arthur Christmas. Justin Bieber's holiday album, "Under The Mistletoe," is a seasonal mix of traditional Christmas standards with newly-penned holiday music largely co-written by Justin. The CD is available everywhere November 1st.
Commenting on the announcement, Lia Vollack, President, Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures, said...
"It was important to us to have a song that connected with the film's themes - and you couldn't ask for a better match than 'Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town' - but our choice was about much more than that. We saw an opportunity to give our moviegoers a tremendous added value with a brand-new music video premiering in theaters. We had a great experience working with Justin on The Karate Kid, so we're thrilled to be working with him again and premiering his new video with our movie - it's a perfect fit for our movie's core audience."
The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas, an Aardman production for Sony Pictures Animation, at last reveals the incredible, never-before-seen answer to every child's question: "So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?" The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic - a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa's youngest son, Arthur. When this amazing operation misses one child out of hundreds of millions, the least capable Claus embarks on a hilarious, exciting rogue mission against the clock to deliver the last present before Christmas morning dawns. The film is directed by Sarah Smith, written Peter Baynham & Sarah Smith, and produced by Peter Lord, David Sproxton, Carla Shelley and Steve Pegram.
Arthur Christmas was released November 23rd, 2011 and stars James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Ashley Jensen, Imelda Staunton. The film is directed by Barry Cook, Sarah Smith.
