Darth Crossfader 577 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Great! It's a two CD set, so either it'll include the original album as well, or a bunch of alternates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,941 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 unless it is very limited i dont think this will be much sought. I mean hook was a grail and copies still remain.This is not a famous Williams work. I'm so eager to discover the unreleased music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmManiac79 6 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Slightly disappointed, but of course I'll still get it. Does anyone know how much music is missing from the original release??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Lackluster 23 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Not too much, but 25 minutes worth of wonderful music. I know this movie like the back of my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard P 4,217 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I seem to have 20 minutes from the OST - I remember the rest didn't exactly set me on fire. Not one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard P 4,217 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 So this was delayed because of JW being busy, yet Matessino produced it?I guess they still need his final approval even if he's not closely involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,974 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Definite purchase. One of my all-time favourite Williams scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,729 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 ok, well this is a good release for sure.Hopefully Williams won't pull a Neverfeast insert and cut out the choir cue I wanted at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,729 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 How much "estimated" unreleased music is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,818 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Perhaps 20 minutes if I remember correctly. But of course there might be more if they have unearthed some additional unused music on the sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,543 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 This is great, I always wanted to hear this one in proper order. It looks like the OST will be included as well.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,729 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yeah, but imagine if instead of the OST they found a disk full of alternates and unused themes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,597 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Well the OST is 55 minutes and CDs hold 80, so I have to imagine they have more than 25 minutes of unreleased music to add - otherwise it would have only been a 1CD set, right?

But I will happily assume that there is more than 25 minutes of unreleased music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,543 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yeah, but imagine if instead of the OST they found a disk full of alternates and unused themesWould have been cool, no doubt.

FilmManiac79 6 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Slightly disappointed???Slightly disappointed that's it not 5 or 6 others I desired more. I enjoy the OST, and wasn't really in need of an expansion. But I'm sure I'll be thrilled with it when it comes out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,647 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The movie was sparsely scored for an epic but if JW recorded substantial alternates, i'm up for it. It's not his most focused score but that's part of its qualities. Watching the movie i always thought they tried for a more binding theme but never found it.

King Mark 3,729 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Well, unless Jay is saying Disk 2 is not the OST presentationHopefully Williams composed a bunch of his classic majestic cues for this film and Spielberg told him to tone it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,597 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm not saying anything! I am sure after their June 3rd titles are released, LLL's attention will shift to the June 24th titles. I wouldn't expect any more information until then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD 1,329 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Do you have any other entries in the Expanded Archival Collection, JohnnyD?That depends...refresh my memory, Jason.

Are there any expanded releases of the Maestro's work in the "Expanded Archival Collection"? If not, then no, I do not. The Expanded Archival Collection line from LLL covers expansions of Warner Brothers properties, apart from the ones that received a "Warner Brothers 90th Anniversary" banner instead in 2013/14 (Rosewood, Police Academy, Matrix Reloaded, Black Beauty, Wyatt Earp, Superman Returns, Superman: TAS, Lethal Weapon box) The Fugitive Mars Attacks! Eraser Batman Batman Returns Batman: Mast of the Phantasm Batman Forever Forever Young Dave The Matrix Revolutions Dennis The Menace When does it go up for Pre-Order? It doesn't. It goes up for order-order on June 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 966 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm not overly familiar with the movie, but is there a seriously major cue that people have been clamoring for that isn't on the OST either fully or partially? I haven't seen anything specific mentioned in this thread, which I was surprised about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
