For those of you that still care (we know you’re out there) about “Clone Wars: Thundercats,” the score for “Avatard” is now available for purchase via the Atlantic Records website and will be released on December 15, three days before the film opens.
This news follows Monday’s announcement that Leona Lewis will be doing Celine Dion duty for the James Cameron film adaptation of “Ferngully: the Last Rainforest,” and her song, “I See You,” will be played over the closing credits a la “My Heart Will Go On” (which apparently breaks the heart of people like Guy Lodge and RopeofSilicon who are all for it).
“Titanic” scorer James Horner reunites with the director for the music, but it’s hard to imagine the “Avatar” soundtrack will reach the same chart-topping heights of its predecessor (though what we’ve heard in the trailer is hilarious overblown). We’re curious to see if the man behind the music of “Braveheart” and “Titanic” will incorporate his beloved Celtic themes into a movie set in space via a glossed up Land Before Time 3″ world, but not curious enough to actually buy the score.
The song titles tell the story of “Avatar” and should probably come with a spoiler warning. The penultimate track is simply–and ominously–named “War.” Wonder how the film ends. Curiously enough the track, “Giovanni Ribisi Plays Slimeball Stand-In For Paul Reiser,” seems to be absent from the final disc. Hmm…as Hitler would probably say, “this is total bullshit.”
Here’s the track listing:
1. “You Don’t Dream in Cryo…”
2. Jake Enters His Avatar World
3. Pure Spirits of the Forest
4. The Bioluminescence of the Night
5. Becoming One of “The People”
Becoming One With Neytiri
6. Climbing Up – “Iknimaya – The Path to Heaven”
7. Jake’s First Flight
8. Scorched Earth
9. Quaritch
10. The Destruction of “Hometree”
11. Shutting Down Grace’s Lab
12. Gathering All the Na’vi Clans for Battle
13. War
14. I See You (Theme from “Avatar”)
