Chewy 2,388 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Oh my, GOD! I knew this was coming! Pretty surprised Intrada did it, but that's great news! The cover though looks very very similar to the OST cover, maybe too similar. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD 1,223 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 HOLY COW!!! This is so weird because I watched the film on 4K Blu-Ray a few days ago; I was amazed at the remastered picture and especially the sound. 2 minutes ago, Chewy said: Oh my, GOD! I knew this was coming! Pretty surprised Intrada did it, but that's great news! The cover though looks very very similar to the OST cover. The cover is similar because it is simply a remastered reissue of the soundtrack album... I'm joking. Seriously, though, I am really excited to see more information!

Jay 37,346 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Intrada doesn't reveal track lists early; The track lists and samples go up the same time you can order the release from their website, which is a random time between 5pm PST and 8pm PST on Monday evening Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rick 1,155 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 So is the artwork in the first post final? The first pic is identical to the OST cover.

Popular Post Dr. Rick 1,155 Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 I just figured it wouldn't say "music from the motion picture" like OSTs do. Guess I'm just used to seeing phrasing like "Extended Edition", "Archival Edition", "Deluxe Edition", etc... Would've like to have seen "15th Anniversary Edition" on the cover, oh well, it's the music that counts, right? EDIT: Looking at other JW Intrada releases, they have "music from the motion picture" on Jaws I & II and The River, but Monsignor has "Expanded original motion picture soundtrack".

The Maestro's score is very tense and packs a punch in the horror/action sequences. 4 hours ago, Chewy said: I really wonder if this is gonna be a 2-CD set. When should we except the tracklist/samples to be available? I suspect the entire score is over an hour and a half of music, so it may very well take up two CDs.

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I don't doubt that his score was effective for a second. I just found the movie rather unmemorable and don't really listen to these kind of scores. The only things I remember about it are Morgan Freeman's great voice-overs and a choir when Rachel walked away from her dad or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,041 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Interesting! This one's not a 100% no-brainer purchase for me, since I don't listen to the OST that much. I'll have to take a listen to the samples and hopefully watch the film again to get a sense for whether it'll be a sensible addition to my collection, especially in these financially tricky times. But in any case, that's awesome that it's getting this release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnnyD 1,223 Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 Having read H.G. Well's original novel, I was not really a fan of George Pal's 1953 film. Steven Spielberg's adaptation is a thrilling and chilling contemporary update that is faithful to the spirit of H.G. Well's work (it also does not hurt that the opening and closing narration are nearly verbatim from the novel, and the portrayal of the tripods and the red weed are taken directly from the novel). Not to mention the amazing special effects by Industrial Light & Magic and Stan Winston. I cannot wait to get this so I can experience the chilling and tense atmosphere of the Maestro's entire score.

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Again, seeing that the Maestro's score is getting the expanded, remastered and definitive treatment and is releasing next week is so weird, seeing as I watched the film on 4K Blu-Ray a few days ago. Weird how timing works out. Regardless, I am excited! The timing actually makes sense for two reasons: this year marks the 15th anniversary of the film, and the time of year pertaining to Halloween (War of the Worlds makes for a great read and viewing on Halloween, at least for me).

I know this won't happen but I wish this release was the ost plus BONUS tracks on Or, the complete score on ONE CD.

karelm 2,912 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 In my opinion, this is JW's most consistently pessimistic and percussive score. I delight. Instabuy. I wish the film lived up to the score. irritating screeching girl. A satisfactory entry to the Spielberg/Williams monster cycle with a very strong 1st and 2nd act but terribly weak ending.
