The cast includeds Gwyneth Paltrow, Ethan Hawke, Robert DeNiro,
Ann Bancroft, and Hank Azaria.
Finn (Intro) was written by Patrick Doyle
and features instrumental
vocalization by Tori and whistling by Carey Wilson.
Tori contributes another song called Siren, which was
co-written with Doyle, with Tori's own lyrics and production engineers Mark Hawley and
Marcel Van Limbeck. Tori is the only musical artist who contributed to both Great Expectations:
The Score and Great Expectations: The Album. Atlantic announced that
Great Expectations: The Album went gold in the US,
having sold over 500,000 copies.
Tori's Thoughts: "..there's a romance that's happening between her voice and his character.
um, a lot in this film I become the voice and...as he's a little boy
I'm the voice in his head. And so as he gets older, I'm still the voice
in his head. Kind of, um, reminding him what his feelings are." "..and I would have never written this piece had I not seen the picture.."
"The pictures inspired me, this film inspired me in a huge way. I mean it
gave me chills when I saw it. Real chills. And um, touched a place in my
heart and I...I knew that I wanted to be a part of it."
