@DylanColeArt The immovable statue standing by the printer is going to be me until one of these pops out

@AvatarVerseUp @calestyo I know Blu-Rays of the movie exists, I have one. Unfortunately I can’t help you on getting the soundtrack.
Good luck - it was a fun score.

[Simon Franglen @simonfranglen]

@AvatarVerseUp @DiscussingFilm ;-) I worked in the original theme song. Does that count?

@TheStingisBack Has to be Blade Runner. 1982.

Iconic synth score.
Iconic production design.
Iconic Anti Hero.
Iconic villain(s) - All other 80’s original IP villains come second. (Darth is definitely a 70’s villain).
Iconic ad lib death speech
Iconic smoky wet streets

@TheStingisBack I worked on ‘Volcano’.
Much fun but really…

There was always going to be an emotional landing issue when the thing being threatened was the Beverly Center.

@mulderville @paramountfr @JimCameron @CinemaCon @CaesarsPalace It was wonderful to see you too. Paris was wonderful

@calestyo It’s a while since we did those previews. I think there were tweaks to the scenes between those being finished and the final A3 master. Not massive, but there could be a few small changes at the start and end

@TheStingisBack @Film_Music_Love A lot of frogs out that night

Disney asked me to release only a single album for #AvatarFireAndAsh They agreed to make it long - almost 30 minutes longer than the A2 extended release. This scene and cue unfortunately didn’t make it onto the album, I’m sorry. I agree the whole scene is wonderful. If you want to hear the cue’s genesis - check Way of Water - Quaritch looking at his skeleton and skull. This is The Fallen Soldier theme. It felt appropriate for Q’s speech.

@Rdardo @DylanColeArt @BProcterDesign That’s what I thought ;-) All good. It was an excellent night

[Simon Franglen @simonfranglen]

@COOLMusicAgency @IFMCA Thank you. I’m chuffed

[Simon Franglen @simonfranglen]

Thank you so much to the @IFMCA

Winning score of the year, composition of the year, and best sci-fi and fantasy score is rather awesome.
I’ll go find something old and Scottish to celebrate with.
