RESERVATION ROAD (due on 10/16/07)

and

BOBBY (due on 10/30/07)

I knew about the first one but the BOBBY score release was quite a surprise. So far the site only says iTunes for release but I am hoping these will be CD releases also.

(Any word on these Peter?)

CD release for Bobby is 10/30. Also is a "best of Mark Isham" from Lakeshore on 10/30. I think their first composer-themed CD release.

Thanks,

Well, that sucks. I was really getting into his stuff. I guess labels (save Varese) don't think that compilations are a big draw. I'm still steamed that Commotion Records axed that Mark Mothersbaugh compilation they were going to do a couple years back.

Today's ad for the film in the L.A. Times lists a CD coming on Varese.

Varese has just updated their Upcoming Releases with information on CD:

THE MIST
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Mark Isham

From the director of The Shawshank Redemtion and The Green Mile

Featuring the song “The Host Of Seraphim” by Dead Can Dance

Frequent Stephen King collaborator and three-time Oscar®-nominee Frank Darabont (The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption) teams with the celebrated horror author once again for this tale of a terror (based on a story originally published in King's 1985 horror anthology Skeleton Crew) concerning a small town engulfed by a malevolent mist. When a thick fog descends upon a typical suburban community and claims the lives of anyone unfortunate enough to be caught outside, a small band of survivors seeks refuge in a local grocery store. Now trapped in a darkened cloud of pure horror, the frightened denizens of the town are forced to fend off an advancing horde of murderous monsters.

The hauntingly atmospheric score is by Mark Isham.

The Weinstein Company opens THE MIST nationwide on November 19.

Catalog #: 302 066 873 2
Release Date: 01/08/08

The critics have been giving this movie about two stars out of four, and
I think that is pretty accurate. I didn't think that it was all that well-directed;
it was a little choppy at times. Too many characters were caracitures or
cliches. Thomas Jane did put his heart into the movie, and his son did
a fine job as did a few other actors. I did jump a few times as there were
a few scares but not a lot.

That's the Dead Can Dance song that is mentioned in the press release. DCD was Lisa Gerrard's (of Gladiator and Hans Zimmer fame) old music group in the 80s and early 90s.

That's a beautiful song; though I don't see how it could fit in the film at all.

I agree 100%. I haven't seen The Mist but I've heard the song quite a few times (I think it's been making its way into quite a few trailers lately as well) and I don't see how this would be appropriate for The Mist...

Check that. It's now set for 1/22/08. Same release date as THE GOLDEN COMPASS now. What the Hell is the problem with these labels?

You weren't kidding because this Lakeshore release is now pushed back to March 4, 2008. Why not just say 2009 and be done with it?

James

I think the only other release of theirs pushed back more might be the soundtrack to PENELOPE which is finally seeing a release in January (both film and apparently CD).

I stand by this last statement. This damn release has just been pushed back to May 13th. I'll believe it when I see it on the shelves.

But why would people set high standards for Isham? Granted, The Black Dahlia is nothing short of perfect, but everything else?

Uhh, the release date is still the same. Just no show on the CDs.... I'll give it a week. If nothing shows in a week, well then... maybe it's waiting for Mark to get an Oscar. And if that's the case, he better renounce his US citizenship and become a foreigner. More chance that way.
