    I honestly wouldn't mind if they nix the needle drop thing wholesale – and if they don't, my hope is that HBO's Watchmen uses pre-existing tunes closer to the way True Detective season 1 did, i.e. music that is tonally/emotionally fitting (cue "Eli" by Bosnian Rainbows) as opposed to tailored to the era. When other movies do needle drops (Atomic Blonde comes to mind), it's still so on-the-nose and distracting, even if it's fun.

    Vietnam used source music very wisely/tastefully, but even that I could have done without (but again, was used very well).


    I don't know about anyone else, but when I read Watchmen for the first time, it never struck me as a quintessential 80s story. I obviously get that it was published and written in that period, but it transcends that setting sooooo much. The fact that I probably read in 2005ish doesn't hurt. So when the Snyder trailers & movie came out and adhered so ridiculously close to an 80s aesthetic, I honestly found it very jarring... which is to say I think it's great that HBO and Lindelof are going for a more present day vibe.

    I stopped watching LOST after 2.5 seasons, but I hear great things about The Leftovers, and am also big fan of Prometheus ...so overall, I'm optimistic and excited!

    To be fair, Lost season 3 dragged on so much because they didn't know how long the show was going to last. Seasons 4 and 5 were so much better.

    Back on topic, Hell Yeah!!! I'm sure this soundtrack is going to be awesome. Can't wait for the inevitable vinyl release.

    I was already excited for this since The Leftovers is my 2nd favorite show of all time. TR+AR doing the score is icing on the fucking cake.

    Her character on Fargo reminded me of my grandmother, if she married a mobster instead of a mailman.

    Should we split this thread off at some point into Le Cinema if we're talking about casting, plot, premiere dates, etc, etc.? Basically everything but the score itself?

    There have been a few teasers released on Instagram and YouTube which feature music that could possibly be TR & AR

    They've been working on it for a while now so that definitely could be them.

    Any idea if Life on Mars remixed by TRAR for this trailer? Or by one of those producer groups specializing on trailer music?

    They could have done a better job, so I will say it's probably the latter.

    the only way I can envision this working is if it's like a sardonic take on the graphic novel in a mode that tries to go full Twin Peaks.

    I mean, Lindelof does walk around at fan cons wearing Twin Peaks t-shirts:

    Digital version around the start of the series, vinyl in the coming years. Just a guess.

    Out of all their scoring projects this is the one that seems most suited for an actual nin track / cover / remix.
