Author	Topic: LOTR Package Update?

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	My uneducated guess would be that the book is about the scores as composed and recorded, not about the albums. Perhaps Doug is writing special liner notes (incl. track analysis) for those as well? Anyway, I'd absolutely love to have the The Road Goes Ever On And On vocals on the CD.

See that's better than a blanket "no comment," right? :)

Lancelot Standard Userer	Well, as "Lord of the Rings" was probably one of the better-documented film series released in...oh, ever....I'd really like to see a book on the score ala The Art of books, and the Warfare and Weapons type-books....(this is me wishing openly.) If such a book were to accompany (or vice-versa) a multi-disc set of the complete score, outtakes, additional music, and source cues....more's the better. I loved hearing The Road Goes Ever On in the film, if just a scrap of it with Bilbo--and its' additional symphonic inclusion in the Extended edition was even better. While I do have that old Glenn Yarbough version kind of permenantly tattooed in my memory from having the read-along-LP of The Hobbit (animated), when I was a much younger person, I'm still endeared to this piece of Hobbit-folkiness, and its' treatment in the Jackson films was brilliant.

AustinHusker Standard Userer	Hey Doug, does Peter Jackson have any say in how the extended soundtracks will be released such as packaging, content, artwork, etc.? I would love to be able to read some extensive liner notes from him in the soundtracks as well as Howard Shore and yourself. Maybe a paragraph or two from the cast members? Now that would be sweet. Do you have any new news to share with us yet? The next possibly three months is going to severly test my patience! -Chad

franz_conrad Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by Doug Adams: Don�t worry, no impingement will be registered� These little excursions actually help the breadth of the piece and the flow of the album. And quite frankly, they�re fun tunes. Speak for yourself Doug, but - Australian though I am - I can't bear gratuitous pub singalong scenes or their isolated score tracks. I sense some programming out may be needed...

Lancelot Standard Userer	Easier to program out than to put in what isn't there in the first place. Tough for some, but, you'll survive. (Soundtrack hounds...Never 100% satisfied, are we?)

I sense some programming out may be needed... Gratuitous singalong is one thing... but what's gratuitous about the singing in these scores?

AustinHusker Standard Userer	I don't believe the singing is gratuitous in these movies at all. In fact, it really enhances both the movie and soundtrack experience. The fact that Tolkien's languages were used in the singing and chorus adds a lot of texture and realism to the movies, IMO. -Chad

AustinHusker Standard Userer	Doug, any chance that when the information can be released that we can get to listen to streaming samples or maybe a complete track of, say, under 1 minute of the score? I know that they did this when the Superman 2-disc set was released. It has been very quiet lately for LOTR soundtrack talk. Any news would be welcome! Thanks! -Chad

As for interviews, you�ll have to wait and see who is lined up. >>>Doug, any chance that when the information can be released that we can get to listen to streaming samples or maybe a complete track of, say, under 1 minute of the score?

Thanks!>>> Well, my guess, if I had to make one, is that Dan Goldwasser at Soundtrack.net will probably tease this album as he has past LOTR discs. Of course, only Dan himself really knows what he�s planning, so maybe drop him a line. But, to be honest, it�s still pretty early to be considering such things� the release date is still yet to be announced. However, I do think it�s now officially been chosen, so hey, that�s progress, yes? More soon! -Doug Adams

Lancelot Standard Userer	The song is "Where there's a whip, there's a way"...!

franz_conrad Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by Lancelot: The song is "Where there's a whip, there's a way"...! Ah of course. In the book, the orc chieftain said - 'where there's a whip, there's a will.' Hence the mistake.

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Well, going by the book, they'd have to throw out the drinking songs and replace them by bath songs. NP: Jane Eyre (John Williams)

AustinHusker Standard Userer	BTTT... OK, it is now September. Reports are that FOTR will come out in November. That's not too far away. Doug (or anyone), is there a date set for announcing the release(s)? Any new news that we can digest? I hope this is not a sign of a delay in the release. -Chad
posted 09-08-2005 11:51 AM PT (US)

Doug Adams Standard Userer	Yes, indeed! The details have been worked out. The release date is set. The press release is written. Tick tock. ...And that's all I have to say today. ;)

Fleuz Non-Standard Userer	I think it will released right before Chrismas. So I have the paitence, be sure. But maybe the first Pix or something would be great. Here is a self-made photomontage: http://www.fea-fleuz.de/Fanart/ostbox.jpg [Message edited by Fleuz on 09-12-2005]

AustinHusker Standard Userer	The only certain fact I know is that FOTR will be released in November with TTT & ROTK being released later. How much later I have no idea, hopefully only a month or two after FOTR. -Chad

Kevin Standard Userer	Ummm... since it's going to be a "Boxed Set" I don't think they would separate the films like that. I would think that Box Set means all together.

Fleuz Non-Standard Userer	I�m pretty sure, that this upcoming box will include the whole trilogy-score. But some news would be fine ... Doug?

TheTennisBallKid Standard Userer	Doug pretty much confirmed that they'll be staggered releases here: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.asp?threadID=27460&forumID=1 (in the usual indirect way though ) [Message edited by TheTennisBallKid on 09-14-2005]

gkgyver Standard Userer	Yes, I also think there will be separate Soundtracks, but I don't know if they'll be staggered. Though, Doug once said that decisions on ROTK were still a while off, so ... Nevertheless: WHERE IS AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT? Come on, two weeks left until October! Doug said the date was set, the announcement written, so where the hell is it? Me - wants - my - Shore !

Luc Standard Userer	If you have been stalking Doug on this like I have , you would also come to the conclusion that it's not release all at once. I'm just hoping they're not too far apart. [Message edited by Luc on 09-14-2005]

AustinHusker Standard Userer	I have been stalking Doug also, Luc! I know I lead a sad life when this is one of the things that I am looking forward to the most! Doug, how about a little teaser announcement until the official one is released? Something that in the end will be almost insignificant but for now will have us craving for more? -Chad
posted 09-14-2005 08:03 PM PT (US)

BigT1981 Standard Userer	I think it's safe to bet it won't be released all at once. The Two Towers might be released probably 6 months after The Fellow Ship Of The Ring. I said probably not sure beacuse I can't be certain. The same thing would probably happen with Return Of The King which would probably released 6 months after The Two Towers. Just my opinion.

Luc Standard Userer	BigT1981 I sure hope you're wrong. 6months apart is a long time. I don't think I'll be happy. There's more to TTT and ROTK that I look forward to than FOTR. quote: I have been stalking Doug also, Luc! Doug might just want drag this so he keeps us as his stalkers. You know, it's like being a celebrity .

Swashbuckler Standard Userer	If staggered, fine, as long as it's not too long between releases.
posted 09-15-2005 07:45 PM PT (US)

BigT1981 Standard Userer	Well you guys gotta consider the time it takes to do this stuff as Doug has been saying. All the consultation work, getting all the permissions, hiring people to mix the music etc... takes a lot of time.
