Zach Braff has again assembled a stellar line-up for the soundtrack to his new film.

Coldplay, Rufus Wainwright, Snow Patrol and Fiona Apple will all feature on the soundtrack to ‘The Last Kiss’, in which Braff stars alongside Jacinda Barrett, Casey Affleck, Rachel Bilson, Blythe Danner and Tom Wilkinson.

Braff’s previous film, ‘Garden State’, featured a hit soundtrack with performances from Paul Simon and Remy Zero. But it was quirky indie band The Shins who benefited most from the exposure, with their song ‘New Slang’ featuring in the famous scene in which Natalie Portman’s character declares to Braff’s that the song will change his life. This time ’round, however, The Shins miss out on inclusion.

The soundtrack will be released in the US on September 12, three days before the film’s release.
