Author	Topic: Watchmen - Release Date and Label

Widescreen Standard Userer	Well folks, a new year with new info and new soundtracks. Right off the bat, here we go: Assuming Fox doesn't screw up the release Warner has planned for the film, according to www.watchmenmusic.com a sire established by Warner Bros. Records, the Watchmen original Soundtrack will be released 2/24/09. [Message edited by Widescreen on 01-02-2009] [Message edited by Widescreen on 01-02-2009]

Justin Standard Userer	Heads up - Take the comma out of your link and people can do directly to it ;-) Let's hope this release doesn't get messed up for the movie and score.

Widescreen Standard Userer	Well folks, now that the whole studio war over this property is over, those of use interested in the film are looking forward to the film can now move on to some other soapbox. Meantime, www.watchmenmusic.com has been updated to offer a vinyl picture disc (special collector edition) with a score track on one side, for those interested. Further, both the "soundtrack" they claim with music from the film and the score (which I take to mean seperately released), will now BOTH be available 2/24/09. Can't wait to pre-order this here!

PeterK FishChip	this is the thread I was looking for... FYI, CD release date bumped to 3/3/2009 for both CDs.

PeterK FishChip	.... and then something called "Rorschach's Journal" is being released on 3/10/09, MSRP of $60. Special edition book or something, I haven't had time to look up more detail. .... then the vinyl is to be released 3/17 (two albums, like the CDs)... sheeeesh. This is like 300 all over again with all these different versions, but perhaps without the plagiarism!

Crono/Kyp Standard Userer	Goldenthal should have scored this... Would have been a great project for him I think. --Brian

I'll Tell You About Rorschach Countdown It Was Me All That Is Good Requiem (Excerpted from Mozart's Requiem) I Love You Mom That soundtrack album is certainly an interesting lineup...Nat King Cole and Ride of the Valkyries on the same CD? Never thought I'd see that happen, but I'm interested to see how all this plays out in the movie. --Brian [Message edited by Crono/Kyp on 01-23-2009]

nuts_score Standard Userer	The cue titles for the score are intriguing (though I hated the "Prison Fight" cue, I'm hoping for better things from the rest). And the soundtrack is a nice little collection of some great stuff, with only a little fluff thrown in.

Swashbuckler Standard Userer	Isn't Mozart's Requiem now starting to be as played out as Orff's Carmina Burana?

nuts_score Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by Swashbuckler: *Isn't Mozart's Requiem* now starting to be as played out as Orff's Carmina Burana?** We figured we play it out for a few more years and then go back to the old Orff stand-by. It's the see-saw effect!
