My wallet's safe for a bit longer then.

[Richard Penna]

I'll predict my wallet is probably safe for another 5 years or so.

Seriously though, when we get to the stage where they are releasing 90s scores every 2 weeks... Houston, we have a problem...

Is there any scores in-particular you're waiting for Rich?

[Richard Penna]

Well there are a few... Dante's Peak, Breakdown. I'd hug any label that reissued them.

But generally the 90s is just where most of my collection starts really, and I'd be much more confident about blind-buying than I am with older scores.

Yeah I know what you mean with that one.

Has Dante's Peak ever had a legit release?

[Trent Bennett]

Dante's Peak only had an OST release, never a legit release for a complete score. Supposedly there's a complete isolated score on the DVD Region 1 movie but so far all that people have been able to find is to what's on the OST'.

So what you're saying, is that the ISO Score rumours are a load of BS?

[Richard Penna]

Someone over at Intrada claimed that there are two isolated scores on the R1 DVD (one with the OST, 30 mins, the other with the full score), but the thread died at the point of me asking the guy for pointers to where the second one was. Honestly, I could barely concentrate at work once I read that - just wanted to get home and look at my DVD

And I think the popular footwear item going around wouldn't be missing a key cue if there was a complete iso, so yes, I'd say those claims are BS.

Although tons of game review sites all list the following easter eggs for the DVD, but I think it's typical lack of knowledge of what a score actually is, plus there's no feature called 'creating a volcano' featurette on any version of the DVD I've found.

Soundtrack
Select the "Getting Close To The Show" feature. Choose "Audio" and press Up to select "Audio 6".

Musical Score Soundtrack
Start the "Creating A Volcano" feature and press Audio Change to hear the theme written by James Newton Howard's theme and score by John Frizzell.

But there are so many more scores from around that period which I'd probably buy just from samples.

Hmmm pity. It will come one day, hopefully soon.

[Mark Olivarez]

If anyone is curious about the FSM releases, I would recommend Angela Morley's Captain Nemo score.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I don't think it's been mentioned here, but there's been lots and lots of signs pointing towards the big July FSM release being Gremlins. FSM is premiering it at Comic Con.... and guess who was just announced as appearing at Comic Con this year?

Thursday, July 23, 2009 - (...) Legendary director Joe Dante (Gremlins 1 & 2, Innerspace, Explorers, The Howling) makes his return to the genre he knows best with the 3D thriller The Hole. Three kids come face to face with their darkest fears after they unlock a bottomless hole in the basement that makes their nightmares come to life. Join Dante-along with actress Haley Bennett (The Haunting of Molly Hartley) - as he discusses his return to thrillers, working in 3D, and The Hole

Of course, a lot of guys on the FSM boards are still predicting an expanded Star Trek score, Back to the Future, Goonies, Batman, Innerspace, etc as well...

[Koray Savas]

Well if he has a new movie coming out, I don't see how that's a clue. Yes it's convenient that he directed Gremlins, but still.

[Marian Schedenig]

And it fits the Innerspace scenario equally well.

[Richard Penna]

I'm still predicting BTTF I mean the main theme is classic, the movie is classic. Seems like a bigger draw than Gremlins.


And there was a UK film called The Hole in 2001 that sounds pretty much the same as that.

[Koray Savas]

Like a native UK film? Or are you thinking of Holes with Shia LaBeouf?

[Charlie Brigden]

Like a native UK film? Or are you thinking of Holes with Shia LaBeouf?

A film made in the UK, by UK people.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Keira Knightley shows her boobies in that flick

[Koray Savas]

You mean her pancakes?

[Richard]

So, we are all going to see Joe Dante's Hole. Ooh, er, missus; titter ye not; nay nay, and thrice nay!

[John Crichton]

You mean her pancakes?

At this point they probably turn inward.

A Batman "Black Box" would be amazing.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Indeed

I can't see FSM being able to afford the re-use fees of four different relatively new scores to make it an unlimited release, though.

I'd still wager money on Gremlins

Besides, I'm pretty sure La La Land is working on Batman

Yes I would go with Gremlins, the 25th Anniversary this year with a new DVD / Blu-Ray coming out in Sept too. FSM also have a good relationship with Warners (which would help with future Inner Space & The Goonies releases! So here's hoping!)

A "Black Box"? How about a "Dark Box"?

[Trent Hoyt]

Haha, I guess that makes more sense.

[Trent Bennett]

Judging from what Lukas said on FSM I think next week's release is just going to be either an expanded single or 2-CD set. I doubt it's going to be a box set like Batman. I would imagine if Batman were to be released in complete form that LaLa Land would do it.

[tharpdevenport]

Yeah, LLLR has said in their forum they are doing '89 "Batman, so unless it's a box set collaboration with FSM, it's highly unlikely.

[Delorean90]

Really? Fantastic! Was there any indication as to what the timeframe on that is--i.e., this year or next year or whatever?

[Nick Parker]

No, they just said that they were working on it.

[Delorean90]

Well, that's still awesome that they're actively working on it.

[Trent Bennett]

I still question whether or not it maybe BTTF. I mean ya I'm sure BTTF is bound to happen...but I would imagine that one of the labels (who ever releases it) would want to wait until next year to release it close to it's 25th Anniversary spot.

[Wojo]

How much music from the '89 Batman are we really missing on the OST? Not counting the Prince songs.

[Nick Parker]

That is what I was wondering. There were some "stingers" missing on the album, as well as some "important" music like Vicki's rescue from the restaurant, but I do not see much that could be included as an individual Track.

[Henry Buck]

Elfman also recorded his own version of the 60s Batman theme.

[Nick Parker]

Did he?

[Trent Bennett]

There's quite a bit. In fact some cues on the OST are edited...example "First Confrontation", "Batman To The Rescue" and "Attack Of The Batwing". If Batman ever got a complete release I would buy it in a heart beat.

[Wojo]

I wouldn't go out of my way, but I'd probably get it. The OST is good but a lot of it is filler and the score gets boring after a while, so a complete release would need some pretty spectacular new material.

[E.T. & Elliott]

Complete Batman Returns is more important than the first one.

[Delorean90]

What do you consider filler, Wojo? I think it's a terrific score with a terrific album--but it would be a much better one without the microedits. The album edits out some of the best parts, particularly from "First Confrontation" and "Attack of the Batwing."

ETAndElliot4Ever, as much as I want B89 complete, I think you may be right. I'd love both, though, and I think LaLaLand is interested in releasing all of the Elfman and Goldenthal scores complete--I know Forever has been thrown around.

I believe there's some unused music, but here's what I've got, working largely from ChrisCrusherComix's edit. Be aware that I haven't seen the film in a while, so I'm not 100% sure on what was meant to segue where, but I think this is mostly right.

01. The Batman Theme (2:38)
02. A Robbery in Gotham*/Roof Fight (3:24)
03. Jack and Eckhardt* (1:32)
04. Grissom's Lair* (0:14)

08. First Confrontation** (5:19)
09. Leaving the Dinner Room* (0:17)
10. Kitchen (1:09)

31. Up the Cathedral (5:06)
32. Waltz to the Death (3:56)
33. In the Pale Moonlight* (1:13)
34. The Final Confrontation (3:49)
35. Finale/The Batman Theme (reprise) (3:10)

*Previously Unreleased
**Includes Previously Unreleased Music

Total score time: 76:17

Bonus tracks would probably include "The Batman Theme (film mix)," "Roof Fight (alternate)," "Beautiful Dreamer" (I believe the recording that plays on the Joker's boom box at the apartment was recorded for the film).

This is kind of inconsistent, as "Nightly News Bumper" and "Sinister Commercial" could technically be considered bonus tracks, but I think they work well, and "Cosmetics Scare" comes out of "Sinister Commercial nicely.
