Carrie To Perform At Movies Rock!

Condé Nast Media Group (CNMG), the Producers Guild of America (PGA) and the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) announced today an all-star line-up of performers for MOVIES ROCK – a two-hour live event and television special that celebrates the powerful relationship between music and film. The live event will take place at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on December 2, 2007, and will air on Friday, December 7 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. The Entertainment Industry Foundation will be a beneficiary of the project.

MOVIES ROCK will pay tribute to some of music’s most iconic moments in film. Performances will include Beyoncé singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz and Carrie Underwood performing the title song from The Sound of Music. Fergie and Jennifer Hudson will lend their own magic to “Live And Let Die” and “Goldfinger” from the James Bond films while Mary J. Blige and John Legend will sing “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca. Legendary composer John Williams will lead an orchestra in a medley of his original scores, and Elton John will honor the music from animated features.
