This week, Film Music Reporter is launching a new weekly column talking about the music of the weekend’s new films opening in the US.
Opening this Friday (November 5):
Megamind
Music by Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe
Dreamworks Animation’s latest movie features a score by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe, as well as numerous popular songs. A soundtrack album featuring about 30 minutes of score, as well as most of the songs used in the movie has been released by Lakeshore Records. To listen to clips, check out Amazon or iTunes. The movie contains roughly 50 minutes of score including a very nice arrangement of the main themes during the end credits which has surprisingly been left off the soundtrack album.
