“Watchmen” Gets Premiere Date Premiere Date From HBO

By Creative Media Times

“10/20. Tick Tock.” HBO has set the premiere date for “Watchmen,” the upcoming superhero drama adaptation created and developed by Damon Lindelof.

Watchmen is set to premiere on Oct. 20, Sunday, at 9 p.m. And then a week later, this will be followed at 10 p.m. by “Silicon Valley” which is returning for its sixth and final season.

Based on the DC Comics limited series of the same name created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, HBO describes it as being set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, and that it will embrace the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name while attempting to break new ground of its own.

Last May, Lindelof stated via a five-page letter posted on twitter that his version will not be a straight adaptation of the comic books.

“We have no desire to ‘adapt’ the twelve issues [Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons] created thirty years ago,” Lindelof writes. “Those issues are sacred ground and they will not be retread nor recreated nor reproduced nor rebooted…they will, however, be remixed. Because the bass lines in those familiar tracks are just too good and we’d be fools not to sample them.”

In 2009, Zack Snyder (Man of Steel) adapted Watchmen a live-action film.

“The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance” Soundtrack Volumnes 1 & 2 Being Released Friday Aug 30

Posted on by

The Soundtrack Volumes 1 & 2 for The Jim Henson Company’s fantasy adventure series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance are being released digitally on Friday, August 30 (the same day as the series launch on Netflix), and on CD and vinyl in the coming months, exclusively through Music.Film Recordings.

Volume 1 of the soundtrack features original music by composer Daniel Pemberton, while Volume 2 consists of tracks by Pemberton and by Samuel Sim.

“I approached the music the same way I approached the filming and the puppetry,” explains executive producer and director Louis Leterrier (Now You See Me, The Incredible Hulk). “I wanted somebody to come on this journey that would be willing to take big risks. I wanted something that was almost tribal. I wanted to hear the strings being plucked and the skin wrapped over the drum. At the same time, I wanted somebody who could write beautiful melodies, understood music, and was a lover of beautiful music. I wanted someone who would approach it in a very organic way and who would tell the story through the score. My search led me to Daniel.”

The 10-episode show is a prequel to the groundbreaking 1982 fan favorite The Dark Crystal, and takes place many years before the events of the film. Leading the voice cast in the series will be Kingsman star Taron Egerton, The Witch actress Anya Taylor-Joy and Game of Thrones’ Nathalie Emmanuel, as ‘Gelfling’ heroes Rian, Brea and Deet. Star Wars’ Mark Hamill, Harry Potter’s Helena Bonham-Carter, Tomb Raider star Alicia Vikander and Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe provide additional voice performances in the new fantasy epic. The series was shot in the U.K., and stars an ensemble of fantastical, state-of-the-art creatures brought to life by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop™ and designed by Brian Froud, the original feature’s conceptual designer.
