If the gripping volume has sold over 40 million copies in 44 languages, the film based on the novel that opens worldwide on May 17 is touted as one of the blockbusters of the year. The flick is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks in the lead role. Label one, an EMI Music France label, has been working on a special project to coincide with the release.
