“Shazam!” Soundtrack Album Release Date Announced

Posted on by

WaterTower Music has announced that soundtrack to “Shazam!” is set to be released on April 5. Directed by David F. Sandberg (“Annabelle: Creation”), New Line Cinema’s superhero origin story will be in theaters April 5, 2019.

The 29-track “Shazam!” soundtrack album features original score by acclaimed composer Benjamin Wallfisch (“Blade Runner 2049,” “IT”), under the direction of David F. Sandberg, with whom he worked on the box office hit “Annabelle: Creation.”

“It’s always such an incredible joy collaborating with David,” explained Wallfisch. “Not only is he a visionary filmmaker, he’s also a great musician. We both have a shared love of the classic superhero, fantasy and adventure scores of the 80s, and we started the SHAZAM! score by trying to channel the feeling of wonder and hope that incredible music gives you. It felt like being a kid again; I grew up in the 80s in total awe of, and in love with that music.”

Sandberg spoke about working with Wallfisch on the film’s music. “Ben is the only composer I’ve worked with so far, and the guy is amazing,” explains the director. “Something we talked about is that I wanted it to feel very much like a classic superhero score, because Shazam is a Golden Age Super Hero, and I wanted to honor that history.”

The Shazam! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is now available for digital and CD preorder. It will be available for streaming and for purchase digitally April 5, and on CD configuration May 10.

The cast and creator of The CW’s post-apocalyptic science fiction series “The 100” were at WonderCon on Sunday, where fans were treated with the premiere episode of season 6 at the Arena.

The screening was followed by a Q&A where the cast and crew offered some insight and tidbits about the season.

And while the panel was understandably mum on details, the upcoming new season really looks like a winner if we’re to go by how fun and thrilling the season opener is.

Among those in attendance were cast members Eliza Taylor, JR Bourne, Marie Avgeropoulos, Richard Harmon, Taysa Teles, Sachin Sahel and Shannon Kook as well as executive producer and show creator Jason Rothenberg.

The last episode in the previous season ended what amounts to “Book One.” The new episode exclusively screened during WonderCon essentially opens “Book Two”, which gave us an early look at their visit on the new planet and many more. Is it habitable? What obstacles will they be facing?

Instead of me spoiling the fun away, scroll down below and have a look at the extended trailer which CW dropped a few days ago in case you missed it.

“The 100” is officially set to return to The CW on Tuesday April 30 at 9pm.

The cast and filmmakers of 20th Century Fox’s upcoming film “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” surprised fans on Friday at WonderCon.

Those who attended the panel at the Arena were also lucky enough to receive a new poster of the film, which is exclusively released for the WonderCon event.

In attendance was English actress Sophie Turner who plays Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix in the latest installment. She is known for her performance as Sansa Stark on the HBO’s hit fantasy drama tv series Game of Thrones.

“I look like Megamind. It’s terrible,” said Turner about the bald head cap she wears for special effects. “You don’t feel cool.”

Also in the panel were longtime X-Men film series writer/producer Simon Kinberg, who also directed Dark Phoenix, as well as co-producer Hutch Parker. “The underlying material is just so good and frankly it’s better than we’ve been as storytellers in some cases,” Kinberg said. “This is a film that aspires to try to tackle the potential of all of that while honoring the legacy and the characters.”

Returning X-Men series actors were also there: Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Evan Peters (Quicksilver) and Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler).

(Warning: plenty of spoilers ahead).

The action-packed clip presented by the panel was very enthusiastically received by fans at the Arena. It starts with Mystique, Jean Gray, Beasts, Cyclops, Storm, Quicksilver, and Nightcrawler on an emergency during a mission in outer space to rescue a NASA shuttle, with the team using their powers to rescue the astronauts with Mystique in command.

When the team returns to earth, they were welcomed as heroes. But not everyone was happy, as Professor X and Mystique started to argue about the risk they take to show the world that they are indeed heroes while putting their lives in danger.

With Jean saving the day, Mystique even went as far as suggesting to changing the team’s name: “The women are always saving the men around here. You might want to think about changing the name to X-Women,” a line that was greeted by a loud cheer from fans at WonderCon.

There was also a clip what shows Professor X, Storm and Cyclops battling Magneto, Beast, Red Lotus and Selene on the streets of New York City. Magneto blasts through the wall of a building, floating in the air while using his powers to pull a subway car from behind him to block the wall.

This led to a face-to-face confrontation between Magneto and Jean, with Jessica Chastain’s character right beside Jean. In an intense scene, we see Magneto manipulate a piece of metal railing to pierce Jean’s eye.

But as shown in the already released trailer, Jean’s powers managed to turn the tables. “And you couldn’t even do that,” Phoenix says as she uses her powers to bent Magneto’s helmet. “Let me show you how.”

The clips were thrilling and spectacular, and possibly darker than most X-Men films fans have loved through the years, and giving some of the best footage so far that shows the overall scope of the film.

Also in the film are James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and series newcomer Jessica Chastain who joins as the villain. Dark Phoenix is set for release on June 7, 2019.

The man responsible for the The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit stories is getting his own film treatment in “Tolkien”, Fox Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming biographical fantasy film from director Dome Karukoski and writers David Gleeson and Stephen Beresford. The film follows the life story of Tolkien which become inspiration to his great novels.

Starring Nicholas Hoult as John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the film is directed by Dome Karukoski and written by David Gleeson and Stephen Beresford. Hoult was in attendance along with Finnish film director Karukoski, as well as co-stars Anthony Boyle, Patrick Gibson and Tom Glynn-Carney.

The panel showed a clip which sees the four boys in their youth and their plan to form a club, which eventually become “Tea Club in Barovian Society,” or TCBS.

Hoult said of Tolkien’s friends: “He was orphaned at such a young age, and finding these guys and that relationship, somewhere that he could flourish and feel safe artistically, and that gave him a place in the world even though he wasn’t necessarily from the same privileged background,”

During the Q&A, the panel showed a video clip wherein Hoult explained his history with the role and along with co-star Lily Collins, their experience in making the film.

“I first read The hobbit when we were filming About A Boy because the director of that gave it to me to read,” Hoult said. “So I still got the copy of The Hobbit on my bookshelf at home, then its kind of come around full circle.”

About a Boy is of course Hoult’s 2002 breakthrough film which was both a critical and commercial success.

“What struck me the most is that he lived an amazing life,” Karukoski said. “This beautiful, emotional story about love and friendship. So many things about what I had read about the books, occurred or were instrumental in his own life. It’s a film that had to be made.”

Tolkien is set for release in the UK on May 3, 2019, followed by a US release on 10 May 2019.
