G.I. JOE
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed and Conducted by Alan Silvestri
G.I. Joe is a highly trained, classified Special Operations Unit composed of men and women from around the globe. Officially, these warriors don't even exist. Few know the truth — that G.I. Joe fights a secret war, as the first and last line of defense against forces that seek to plunge our world into chaos. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe is there!
Director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) adapts the beloved Hasbro G.I. Joe toy line with this Paramount Pictures production that pits the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity against the evil forces of the organization known as COBRA. Dennis Quaid and Channing Tatum star as General Hawk and Duke Hauser, respectively, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marlon Wayans leading the rest of the cast, including Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Asian film star Lee Byung-hu.
Alan Silvestri, who is the modern master of scoring action blockbusters like Predator, The Mummy Returns and Night At The Museum, not to mention the Back To The Future trilogy, composes the apocalyptic score.
Paramount Pictures opens G.I. JOE nationwide on August 7, 2009.
Varèse Sarabande Catalog #: 302 066 980 2
Release Date: 08/04/09

Yesss! Finally! The trailer already suggested there will be a release on varese, so nice to see the confirmation at last.
Now i hope colosseum records will offer a pre-order quickly. They ship earlier and since the release date is 4th of august, the disc should arrive sometime in the week of july 20th. Can't wait!

Producer lorenzo di bonaventura has the answer to these rumours about sommers being fired:
"Its very unfair to Steve, its completely untrue he was never asked to leave or been fired or any of that. That’s ridiculous. The movie tested very well.
Latino Review: So what really happened in the editing room?
Lorenzo: Nothing that doesn’t happen on every other movie, which is that you constantly work and work and work and you make it better and better. We had a delay on visual effects so we waited a long time to finish the movie but that’s the only thing. I don’t really know why that would be interpreting it negatively but I guess it was.
So there we have it, there was nothing about this whole affair that added up properly. As I said in my opening sentence this is a very strange turn of events."

Looks like the score is not in danger.

I hope the mixing on the album is better than the last few Silvestri releases. His scores used to really breath on album, but now they're getting a little too thick for my tastes. It might have to do with orchestrations, I'm not sure, but I hope JOE sounds more THE MUMMY RETURNS than NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2.
