Watching in scope after 34 years.
Good film. Even loving De Bont's excessive push in zoom cinematography.
JNH's score is terrific. Well spotted and engaging in the film. The bootie....less so.
Shame the tapes met and died with Varese-Townson.
Unlikely to be released. For once, booties served us well.... :'-(
Still wish this received a properly produced album. It's a very good score, but needs "production" behind it.
Film really doesn't go anywhere except absolving Kiefer in the end with the gorgeous choral cue "Redemption" we all love in this thread, the end title. Adult and boys choir credited, which made my heart happy.
Hey, a remake in 2017 with Idiot Page and a Nathan Barr* score SURELY filled with beautiful choral moments, elaborate 12 tone counterpoint, unique orchestration and elaborate architecture.
Surely no endless crescendos, shock chords or Dm dronery. Surely!
Hoooo Weeee I canna wait to see and hear this!!!!
McAsteriked: Barr actually is a fine composer and I love much of his work.
I'm just certain he was tasked to deliver 'reaction' to a trash remake.
Hey Goblin babe *xoxo*
I have wanted this score for the longest time. I won't knock the remake well it's a reboot more so than anything else which had some good ideas but didn't push it hard enough like the 1990 movie did and also didn't have Joel Schumacher or James Newton Howard. Would've been interesting if JNH had scored the remake and using his past experience with the first film, how he would've tackled this film.
Nate Barr is a pretty good composer especially for his work on True Blood and the two Hostel films. His score for the reboot or whatever you want to call it wasn't that memorable.
What is holding this up is how expensive the score really is. On the arrow Blu Ray JNH does talk about it and the shocking thing is he used like over 100 LA Musicians and a huge chorus which according to the reuse fees back in the 90s, would've been a huge expense even for Varese to release a 30 minute album of the 80 plus minutes he recorded. I'd guess this would finally come out probably next year if Sony decides to let it out since it's the films' 35th Anniversary. So there's still some hope..
