Any info on when the soundtrack will be released and by whom? I am really looking forward to this score by JNH. The movie opens in the US on December 12, so I think it will be sometime before that.

As always, thank you,

Philipp

Give it a little while, man! You have a little less than three months to wait. It's not like this is an April of 1993 movie. It'll get a soundtrack release!

There's always an assumption that these things are worked out months and months in advance. That's rarely true.

Perhaps there are current plans for a release. Perhaps it hasn't even gotten to that stage yet. Perhaps more than one label has expressed interest. Perhaps the accountants are working on it. Perhaps nobody on this board knows anything about it. Perhaps somebody does, but is not at liberty to reveal anything before the contracts are signed.

The point is, don't assume the answer is out there, but nobody's bothering to respond to you!

But I´ll wait. Thanks anyway.

It should have a lot of scoring.

Zwick's films often do.

And Howard did do the music for BLOOD DIAMOND; never saw the film, but have the score, though I don't remember it much.

Zwick's films always seem to me like overblown comic books. (Though I was intrigued to realize that LAST SAMURAI was, essentially, a love story, with a romantically tragic ending.)

But, though I find them grandiose and just this side of entertaining, they seem to make money, which allows Zwick to make more of them, on large budgets.

Although, Daniel Craig would never be my first choice for realistic casting as a Polish Jew in the resistance. With his steely blue eyes and light hair, he looks Aryan enough to be a Nazi. Likewise Jamie Bell, playing his kid brother. (Also, I could be wrong, but I don't recall that many Jews being in the Polish resistance, simply because the Poles hated them as much as, if not more than, the Nazis, and more or less abandoned them, even murdering many of them after they survived the war and tried to return to their former homes, which had been pre-empted by Poles.)

I think you should get back to the school... What a nonsense! I don't say all Poles loved all the Jews, but saying Poles hated Jews as much as Nazis is simple nonsens. Do you know how many Jews were rescued by Polish people from Ghetto? How do they helped them? No? So, read history better than say theories on subject you don't have any idea...

The film has gotten so so reviews by both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, but both mentioned James Newton Howard's score:

From The Hollywood Reporter:

It may have been filmed entirely on location in Lithuania, but there's a curiously flat, studio backlot feel to the staging of the production in spite of Eduardo Serra's unfussy, naturalistic camerawork and James Newton Howard's tender score, accentuated by Joshua Bell's plaintive violin.

From Variety:

Production’s physical details are well managed, and James Newton Howard’s violin-dominated score provides mournfully moody dramatic backing.

At least the score will be worth hearing, but I think we all knew that already.
