Hans Zimmer & Benjamin Wallfisch - Blade Runner 2049

The soundtrack for the upcoming Blade Runner 2049 will be made available via digital retailers this Thursday (October 5) on the same day as the film's UK release.

“The thing I will say is that making movies is a laboratory. It’s an artistic process. You cannot plan things. Jóhann Jóhannsson is one of my favorite composers alive today. He’s a very strong artist,” Villeneuve told Al Arabiya English. “But the movie needed something different, and I needed to go back to something closer to Vangelis. Jóhan and I decided that I will need to go in another direction — that’s what I will say. I hope I have the chance to work with him again because I think he’s really a fantastic composer.”

Dear Jóhann , come have a beer.

I dunno why I think this, no real reason to, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of this soundtrack is going to simply be reinterpretations of the original Vangelis music. I hope I'm wrong.

Official Track Listing from Pitchfork.

Blade Runner 2049 hits theaters October 6. Today, the original soundtrack has been officially announced. It arrives October 5 via Alcon Sleeping Giant Records, and will feature original pieces from Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch’s score, as well as songs by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Lauren Daigle. The composers took over scoring duties from Jóhann Jóhannsson. 2049 director Denis Villeneuve recently explained Jóhann’s departure from the project. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Villeneuve praised Jóhann as “a very strong artist,” but said, “I needed to go back to something closer to Vangelis. Jóhann and I decided that I will need to go in another direction.” Read the full interview here; find the Blade Runner 2049 OST tracklist and cover art below.

Bit weird Vangelis isn't involved at all? Cunt doesn't have much else going on does he? Or is it just the rule now that all film music needs to be done by hans zimmer..

Exactly. I think for many directors, he's just the 'go-to-soundtrack-guy' regardless of whether his style suits the film or not.

In any case, we'll know by Thursday.

Zimmer has been incredible since Intestellar !

Yeah Zimmer is the man, but for fuck sake give someone else a go.

Vangelis make a meh face.

Nice article on Vangelis scoring the original film.

Most of this is pretty uninspired. It just sounds like Hans Zimmer. Yeah, there's some CS80 and lots of sampled sounds from the original (to make it all feel like Blade Runner). There is very little variety on the album, for me. Just Zimmer running through all the Blade Runner tropes over and over again.

The most outstanding piece on here is towards the end 'Tears In Rain', yes, just a remix of the Vangelis track. Slog through this album and when you hear that track, you realise that Zimmer just isn't in the same league as a composer. Blade Runner 2049 is lame even by his standards.

The incidental stuff by Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley fit okay but the closing piece on the album is just some modern-day piece of radio-fluff that is just the icing on a polished turd.

I think you're going to be disappointed. Interstellar is a much better work - even though it's just ripping off Phillip Glass.

I can't tell any Hans Zimmer songs apart

oh god indeed

havent' seen the movie but i guess that ae newbound (feels dystopian, melancholic and open space), would be perfect on the end credits, if they'd had any balls ...or jnsn code gl16 if they'd wanted something still melancholic but to leave room for optimistic views

we need another kubrick
