This is so cool!  I can't wait!  I love this score!

[Jay 45,837]

Blame me for any typos in the booklet!

[Pellaeon 597]

Congrats, @Jay!

[Xander Harris 9,577]

One of my favorites.

[Jurassic Shark 16,373]

I love A New Beginning.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

Our long nigh on unbearable drought of 4 months without a Williams expansion is finally over!

[hornist 1,246]

Brilliant score😍😍😍

[Jay 45,837]

Disco Stu I hope you don't mind but I replaced the image in your post with a cropping of just the MR cover

[Holko 12,021]

Noice!

Fun fact:  The OST track titled "A New Beginning" is nothing more than a repeat of the second half of the end credits (which already opened the OST album, as "Minority Report"), with a loop added

[Jurassic Shark 16,373]

Huh, so now we'll finally have the music that actually plays during that scene?

[Disco Stu 15,517]

The full "Swimming Pool Scene" cue is so gorgeous, y'all.

If you mean the final scene of the movie, that is 8M1 A New Beginning, which wasn't on the OST, but 8M1 Alt Piano Version was, as "Sean's Theme"

 

The end credits incorporates a basically verbatim rendition of 8M1, regardless, so we kinda already had it.

[Dr. Rick 1,373]

Awesome!!!  Love Minority Report, both movie and score!  

[Dr. Rick 1,373]

@Jay  Congrats for having the opportunity to work on this release!  Does this differ at all from the sessions?  Hope we get some additional goodies!

[Jay 45,837]

My lips are sealed

[crocodile 9,638]

I'm looking forward to re-acquainting myself with the score. It was never one of my favourites but I welcome the new set with open arms and ears.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,908]

Minority Report? Minority Report?!

They should advertise it as 

 

MINORITY FUCKING REPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, it's that good!

[Incanus 5,889]

Fantastic news! 

 

I have a soft spot for this score. The combination of dark brooding atmosphere and action is just wonderful.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

It's such a great score, full of darkness and heartbreak, along with some truly outstanding gnarly action music.

[mstrox 7,341]

I'm in!

[Jay 45,837]

After listening to this release a ton over the summer, I became a massive fan of Williams' brooding sound and wish he had opportunities to explore it more across his career.

 

And this score so perfectly balances it with outbursts of action music, and heartbreaking emotional music

[Dr. Rick 1,373]

Judging by the cover artwork this just screams Jim Titus, looks amazing!

[Chewy 2,796]

Amazing news!!! When should except to discover the track listing?

[Jay 45,837]

I'm also glad this release made me revisit the film, which I don't think I had seen since theaters in 2002.  I felt the film really held up well, the set design, special effects, acting, and just overall "feel" of the film is great, and the story is intriguing too.  And Williams' score and the other source music used fits it perfectly.

[Jurassic Shark 16,373]

So one disc for the OST and the other one for the six additional tracks?

[Dr. Rick 1,373]

 

[bollemanneke 4,321]

Wow! First the Gobelt of Fire screenplay leaks and now this! I might try and watch the movie again, notwithstanding the horrible American audio description… Seems like such a great story. I wonder how and why they chose this title.

[Jay 45,837]

You should, it's a good film

[Disco Stu 15,517]

I think he was making a Schindler's List joke.  As usual.

[Jay 45,837]

Yea, I realized too late

[Chewy 2,796]

And also beautiful cover, I want to know how the rest looks like Seems to be another amazing release!

[Jurassic Shark 16,373]

That's okay, it doesn't make you a bad person.

[Thor 9,347]

I feel like I should say something when these types of releases are announced, even if I have nothing to say, really. I can say this: MINORITY REPORT is a great film and score. The cover of this release looks quite nice too; "cleaner" than the OST.

[Jurassic Shark 16,373]

Yeah, but that picture looks so fake!

[Corellian2019 491]

Woo-hoo! Glad this release made it past the temporary Fox moratorium

[Jay 45,837]

They went with the cleanest poster for sure, the other two main posters are quite "busy"

 

  vs  vs 

[Edmilson 12,243]

Anderton's Great Escape is one of JW's finest action tracks of this century (and one of the best renditions of the Ludlow's motif).

[Jurassic Shark 16,373]

Best poster? Let's agree to disagree on that topic.

[Demondm810 473]

Woohoo!  Guess I need to change my vote in the Black Friday poll 

[Arpy 4,255]

Oh yeah!!

 

Was thinking about picking the OST up a few weeks ago, now I can just get this!

 

Everybody Runs is such an awesome cue!

[Josh500 1,620]

Oh my God! 

 

One of my all-time favourite JW scores.... My mind is blown. It doesn't top HP or JP, of course, but it's close. I'm as excited as when A.I. was announced a few years back. 

 

 

Listening to this cue now! 

 

[Bespin Copilot 10,735]

Ah, is it that movie with the precunts?

[rough cut 1,785]

I don’t know the score, never owned it, but look forward to getting to know it, great movie, they went with the wrong poster.

 

I’ll have nothing to add now until we actually get the CDs.

[Wojo 2,458]

I bought a used scratched promo of the OST but I never got past track 1. I'm glad this is available for those who need it. I don't. 

[Luke Skywalker 2,364]

Niiiice! I hope it contains everything c&c!

[Jurassic Shark 16,373]

I reckon the first disc will be the OST, while the second one will be the "complete" Unfinished symphony by Schubert.

[Marian Schedenig 11,611]

Improved sound, I hope!

[phbart 707]

Just a sec. Let me check what the tracklist will be.

[Amer 2,722]

The only Spielberg Sci fi movie that  didn't click with me much but I enjoyed the album. ' Andersons Great Escape' one of my favorite cues here. The score is mostly dark and brooding and the opening cues are very interesting with shades of JFK esque like percussions reminding me of 'The Conspirators'  Having said that I'am really looking forward to the High resolution sound transfer on this one. Look forward to more details in the coming weeks. 

 

And really hoping that WAR OF THE WORLDS is also next on the expansion list from LLL. I love that more, the film included. But kudos to all. Along with THE INVADERS set this is a great looking batch. 

 

P. S. How long did this take for Tom Cruise to approve the artwork etc.? (Probably this got done around the same time as MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.) There are the other Tom Cruise titles which I believe are waiting to be signed.
