Music for 1911

What would a movie (or trailer) be without music? The music brings the movie to life and is an essential part of the experience but often the people who make the music are just a footnote in the credits.

This trailer for '1911' features the music of Thomas Vo:



What Thomas had to say:
It has been quite exciting to see that a composition of mine, entitled "When Worlds Collide" has been featured in Jackie Chan's latest film, "1911 Revolution!" The film is billed as Jackie Chan's 100th film, and being a Jackie Chan fan, I will try my best to go see it. To view the trailer, please visit the official movie website at http://www.http://www.1911movie.com/
