Keith Urban’s doing something he’s never done before. The Grammy-winning singer will be contributing an original song written specifically for Relativity Media’s Act of Valor, an action thriller starring active-duty Navy SEALs. Urban and Monty Powell co-wrote the track, “For You,” which will be featured over the film’s end credits.
Act of Valor is set for release on February 24, 2012. The soundtrack will be released digitally on iTunes® and in stores on Tuesday, February 21st.
In the official announcement, Urban stated, “I loved the challenge of writing for a film. I’ve never done that before. After seeing Act Of Valor, my co-writer (Monty Powell) and I wanted to capture the essence of not only what these men and women do so extraordinarily, but how that relates to all of us. Valor shows us what they are willing to give their all for, which made me wonder, ‘what am I willing to give my life for?’ ‘For You’ is intended to allow the listener to define who that is for them.”
The Act of Valor Plot:
Produced and directed by former Baja 1000 champion Mike “Mouse” McCoy and former stuntman Scott Waugh, and written by Kurt Johnstad (300), Act of Valor takes audiences deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained group of warriors in the modern world. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the U.S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitment to country, team and their families back home.
Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure.
