Hope Floats: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Remastered and Expanded for Release by Capitol/EMI

Unavailable Since 2000, 1998 Soundtrack's U.S. Sales Exceed 2.7 Million

New CD and Digital Release Adds Six Exclusive Bonus Tracks From Barry Manilow, The Temptations and More!

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Unavailable since 2000, Capitol/EMI's hit soundtrack to 1998's Hope Floats has long been a collector's choice. With U.S. sales totaling more than 2.7 million units to date, Hope Floats: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack has been remastered and expanded for reissue on CD and digitally on April 24 by Capitol/EMI.

Already a double platinum smash, with tracks from Sheryl Crow, the Rolling Stones, Lyle Lovett, Trisha Yearwood, Bob Seger, the Mavericks and other top music artists, the remastered soundtrack is newly expanded with six exclusive tracks from artists including Barry Manilow, The Temptations and original score composer Dave Grusin, raising the track count to 18.

In the award-winning film, Hope Floats, directed by Oscar(R)-winning actor and director Forest Whitaker, Birdee Calvert (Sandra Bullock) seems to have it all. She's been married for years to her handsome high school sweetheart Bill (Michael Pare), and she has a brilliant and sensitive child. But when her picture perfect life comes crashing down around her, Birdee must start over. With no place else to turn, the former beauty queen, along with daughter Bernice (Mae Whitman), heads back home to Smithville, Texas. There, Birdee's life becomes even more complicated as she tries to cope with a mother (Gena Rowlands) she must get to know for the first time, a daughter who desperately misses her father, and the prospect of a new romance with an old schoolmate, Justin Matisse (Harry Connick, Jr.). But as Birdee undertakes her emotionally-charged journey, she begins to find the strength to reclaim her life, rediscover her family and return to something she had almost given up on... hope.
