Deutsche Grammophon will release the original composition To the Stars from the soundtrack for James Gray’s sci-fi drama Ad Astra. The track is composed by the film’s composer Max Richter (The Leftovers, Mary Queen of Scots, Hostiles, Miss Sloane, Taboo, Waltz with Bashir). To the Stars will be released as a digital single tomorrow and will be available to download here. Ad Astra is co-written and directed by Gray and stars Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler and Donald Sutherland. The movie centers on an astronaut as he travels to the outer edges of the solar system to find his missing father and unravel a mystery that threatens the survival of our planet. The drama premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival and is being released in theaters nationwide this weekend by 20th Century Fox.

    • Jazz says:

      • D says:

        IKR? the music industry is so much more into profits then people’s soundtrack album requests In this day and age. Like wtf happened Sony did your slump with Spider-Man make you decide to overrule any soundtrack release known to man?

  2. John says:

    I got excited at the end credits when I saw ‘Soundtrack availible from -cue the Deutch Gramaphone yellow logo- DEUTCH GRAMAPHONE? COOL! Then I get home to look where to buy it and I see there’s only a single being released.

    What a cruel joke.

    • Beth says:

      Yes, looking for, excuse me… a CD, of soundtrack as I thought was available. Hmmmm. Maybe making us wait. Loved the film.

    Lorne Balfe commented on his Instagram page that ‘the soundtrack is nearly ready to release’.

    Look for his excerpt of ‘Prayer’ on @lornebalfe on Instagram and check the third comment.
