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.

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

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.

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

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


Here is the amazon link:

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