MV said not to expect an "FSM style" release for this, and not to get our hopes up, from what he's heard.

Shame, something like this could have a lot of potential.

Posted

So The Phantom Menace gets a re-release of the ost with one useless bonus track, and titanic gets 4 CD's?

Ya very odd choice.

Posted

If it isn't the complete score...what are they going to fill 4 CDs with?

Disc 1: OST

Disc 2: Back to Titanic

Disc 3: My Heart Will Go On alternates/remixes /covers

Disc 4: multimedia disc of screensavers, wallpapers and interactive "drive the Titanic" game!!!!!

Sony FAIL.

chocolateportals, I bet you're not far off. CD4 will probably be something like an interview with Dion, maybe Jennings (of course skipping Horner), new recording, crap.

So, I take it the score to "Titanic" is one of those titles Sony won't let go of either. It did sell over 30 million copies. That's a lot of album royalties to Jamie, even at one penny each.

You fucking kidding me, this and not Star Wars?

Posted

Well it did sell far better then the Prequel scores.

Johnny should have written a love song for Episode I and have Celine Dion perform it.

Posted

It's most likely going to be the two commerical albums with a DVD as someone said, and a CD of filler material. Maybe some nice packaging, but that's about all I expect from it.

Posted

Was there that much missing from Titanic between the two already released albums?

Quite a bit. And most of the album versions differ from the film versions, if I remember right.

Posted

There also score cut from the film, and scoring to deleted scenes. A a good chunk of alternates. 3CD's may not be enough for the full score. Probably 4, with source music rounding out the remaining minutes.

Sony :Lets releases a 4 c.d. deal of Titanic to see if it sells

Nah , it sold crap, cancel the SW Prequels

Do you think one of the discs will include My Heart Will Go On dialogue version? I want this cue so much!

LOL, and in 5.1 mix please.

This score has sentimental/nostalgic meaning to me. I would LOVE for one of our labels (LLL/FSM/Intrada/Varese) to release something like this for Titanic. I know it's Horner and I know "My Heart Will Go On" was played to DEATH, but for me personally, I'd love a properly done release.

The OST and Back to Titanic featured alternate music to what was actually in the film.

Having said that, I have full confidence that Sony will completely screw this one up. They will repackage the OST plus Back to Titanic, throw in a DVD of some random crap and then a CD with the dialogue versions of My Heart Will Go On, Rose and Southampton plus the single version of My Heart Will Go On.

As to why this and not Episode 1, wrongly or rightly (so wrongly!), this score has VASTLY outsold Episode I. I just wish Sony would license this property to someone else (will never happen) and that LFL/Sony would do so with all the Star Wars material. I just can't even imagine these properties getting that kind of treatment.

Oh, and for the record, I am NOT saying that Titanic deserves such a release over Star Wars. Not. At. All. Just saying that if this Titanic release were done right, I would enjoy it. :)

Hey, I agree with you. Once you get passed the overplayed pop song, I really do like the score quite a lot, and would be VERY interested in a truely complete presentation. I just don't understand the big labels. If you're going to press 4 CD sets of something, WHY NOT put some love into it? Do it right.

Posted

Probabely it will be a re-issue package with some unwanted extras.

Posted

Here's what we somewhat realistically can hope for:

- The Main Titles

- Exploring the wreck

- Jack's Irishy music

- Film versions of Southampton, Flying scene, the drawing, etc.

We may get some of that but probably mostly source music and alternates we'd never heard or wanted.

Posted

If Sony wanted to handle this right they'd let Intrada/LLL produce a few thousand units of the complete score for the fans, then make a much cheaper repackaged set for the masses.

They could achieve both and make a shitload of money if they really wanted to. But I think they've got the same wrong attitude Lucasfilm has - that everything must be aimed at the mass market.

Here is the amazon link:

They are also re-releasing the original OST as well

http://www.amazon.co...6GO/jwfancom-20

Why would they re-release the original score and sell it at such an exorbatent price when it can still be found in bargain bins for about $5?

If it IS the complete score and alternates then I for one will be dancing in the streets.

I really like this score (excluding the awful song) and a complete release has been near the top of my wish list for a long time. However, it is completely unfair that this gets a complete release to coincide with its 3D movie and the Star Wars prequals do not. Those scores NEED to be released, and I assumed the 3D movies would be the best opportunity so far.

Posted

Indeed, if it actually is the complete complete score as intended and recorded plus alternates, this will finally be a Sony release I can buy.

Posted

Guys, if they're releasing an expanded Titanic AND reissuing the OST, maybe they're doing the same for the prequels? Maybe we've only caught wind of the reissue?

I'm a big fan of Horner's score to Titanic, but I'm between the OST, Back to Titanic, and Titanic: The Ultimate CD (I forget what it's called, something like that) I'm content.

Those are imported versions. If you buy the version that is produced in your country it will probably be much cheaper.

The only wind we'll catch is the fart that Sony gives about the prequels.

Since this probably won't be complete, they all got screwed.

FSM post on it:

Don't get too excited, guys -- from what I hear it won't be a "FSM" kind of presentation.

So, I wouldn't make any bets or place faith in Sony.

Titanic and Back to Titanic are more than enough of the movie's music for me. Too much, actually, when you try to put all tracks into a combined album, including the long suite on BTT with Hymn to the Ocean on the original album.

I have zero interest in hearing film edits instead of whatever album edits that I've been used to. For as few times as I've listened to the soundtrack in recent memory, I have watched the movie beginning to end even fewer. "Film edits" are irrelevant if you disregard the movie. If I need Horner from that era, I just alternate with Apollo 13 and Braveheart tracks.

Posted

Titanic is one of my least favorite James Horner scores along with Braveheart (the only 2 film scores women seem to be into)

In other words I don't care a bit about this release.

Posted

If there is something worthwhile on this set, I might buy it.

I agree about Braveheart. Titanic is OK.

Posted

The Braveheart CD always bored me.

Posted

It's one of Horner's worst scores and one of the worst of the decade. Boring, tedious, repetitive.

It's a pity some people who don't know better seem so enjoy it so much.

I agree.
