Anyone know if they've announced when the soundtrack will be available?

I'd like to know. And I'd really like to know how much Johannsen will remain in the movie/on the album and how much Hans Zimmer will have replaced it (was super excited to hear what the former would do for this movie as the Arrival score was just jaw-droppingly good to me)

Wait hold on, I either missed the Zimmer news or intentionally blotted it from my brain so I didn't have to think about it. (Which I suppose is very Blade Runnerish, so.)
Anyway

harrison ford sounds like a character out of a scandinavian cop show in that

he always comes off so gruffly matter-of-fact in interviews. can definitely picture him saying that.

i'll see this but damn i don't like shamanistic new age bad guys, Hollywood needs Henriksen types now more than ever.

Hell, Joe Turkel was amazing in the original, and he was just this understated dude.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 18 September 2017 17:45 (six years ago) link
Genuinely think the Leto stuff has made me decide to not see this, despite/because of the original being one of my favourite films

He seems to be doing some kind of bad Shatner impression?

The fact that Hans Zimmer is now doing the music is...not inspiring.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 02:02 (six years ago) link
hugely disappointed they ditched Johann Johannsson, that more than anything I've seen in trailers signals this went off the rails and is going to suck.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 02:15 (six years ago) link
Yup The score could still be good depending on which Zimmer we get (the Beyond Rangoon/Interstellar zimmer I could see doing a cool blade runner score) but the disappointment of not hearing what JJ would have done is massive.

While promoting Suicide Squad, all the cast could talk about was how crazy Jared Leto had been on set, sending people anal beads, used condoms, dead rats, bullets, and an entire pig, as well as making everyone refer to him as 'Mr. J'. Preparing for Blade Runner 2049, Leto went full method actor again, apparently partially blinding himself by wearing sight-limiting contact lenses.“He entered the room, and he could not see at all,” director Denis Villeneuve told the SWJ magazine in a profile piece about Leto. “He was walking with an assistant, very slowly. It was like seeing Jesus walking into a temple. Everybody became super silent, and there was a kind of sacred moment. Everyone was in awe. It was so beautiful and powerful — I was moved to tears. And that was just a camera test!”

i think i've said it here before, but it's hilarious and slightly endearing that leto goes full-on method in support of delivering terrible performances

yeah, me too - the work of his i've seen so far (sicario and arrival) has ultimately been less than the sum of its parts, and somehow i think helming the unasked-for sequel to blade runner is not gonna be the project that tips him over into greatness

I'm willing to enjoy parts of it
was hoping one of the parts would be a JJ score, though
― mh, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 13:51 (six years ago) link
all these moments... will be lost... in time... like... tears we shed for Mr. J, stumbling around wearing sight-limited contact lenses. time to die.

Even the bits of Johannsson we heard in the trailers sounds like watered down Vangelis (i.e. awful). I don't see what the big loss is.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:02 (six years ago) link
My concern is that we're moving from watered down to homeopathic.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:03 (six years ago) link
xp are you sure that's his work? trailers don't even necessarily use music from the actual film
remember the early 00s period where half a dozen movies (including one of the Lord of the Rings ones) used a riff on the score from Requiem for a Dream
I mean, it could be Johannsson but I figured it was whoever cut the trailers having someone in-house doing a riff on the original's music
― mh, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:04 (six years ago) link
Was Vangelis ever offered the job of scoring this one? crazy idea, I know.
― jmm, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:08 (six years ago) link
almost posted that myself

They should have got M83 to do it.

the Oblivion soundtrack was... ok? not sure if they'd be better than Zimmer but picking them seems a little more appropriate
― mh, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:13 (six years ago) link
I'd have gone with Geoff Barrow.

and/or Sinoia Caves.
The Haxan Cloak would have been fun.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:17 (six years ago) link
Oh man Geoff barrow could do a number yeah
There was no point in asking vangelis, there's a 0% chance he would do this.

kuedo, since he had an album that was half-riffing on vangelis's blade runner score anyway

wait, has no one yet mentioned the "prequel" to this new film we're getting?

and I hadn't seen this bit, but lol at my comment upthread nowThe forthcoming short also features music by Miguel Atwood Ferguson and Kuedo.

I'm kind of hoping Jóhannsson releases a Definitely Not Music From Motion Pictures album with work that didn't show up in the film
or even better, works with several others and creates an imaginary soundtrack for it like Barrow/Salisbury did with their Dredd-inspired one
― mh, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 16:29 (six years ago) link
that'd be awesome, that dredd album rules
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 16:34 (six years ago) link
I have some serious misgivings about the 90s film but, barring that, I am pretty good saying all Dredd-related things are pretty good
― mh, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 16:37 (six years ago) link
the soundtrack to the Karl Urban Dredd flick is really, really outstanding. everything about that film is better than it needed to be.
