    My most anticipated score of the end of the year, specially after Desplat got kicked out of Rogue One.

    However… I hate those exclusive versions on almost every WaterTower album. At first, I thought they did it with only Zimmer scores (TDKR, Inception), but now it seems that it became the MO for every blockbuster they do.

  2. SDH says:

    This has got to be the lengthiest regular commercial release for a James Newton Howard score I’ve ever seen. The only one of its kind for the composer to drop at around the same time as the movie’s release date, too. Time’s changing.

    Oh this will be amazing

    Apparently, the movie itself is about 140 minutes (2h20m) long:

    On Facebook, WaterTower said that the deluxe edition of the album will have almost 100 minutes of music. So, I imagine we still gonna have about 20-30 minutes of unreleased cues.

    Well, I guess it’s better than 1h of unreleased music, which is what we would get if the album was 75 minutes long, like most soundtrack albuns these days.
