I love this movie, and am eager to get the BD, and hear 'the guys' commentary track (Bond!!!!).
The score is by renaissance 'specialist' David Munrow (that's what I know
him for anyway), but the main music heard is Beethoven's SEVENTH, not
the THIRD! I say that because my vhs copy I saw was so poor and the font
of the credits so bad, I always thought the credit was for the 3rd.
His main title adaptation of the 7th for boy soprano, gorgeous stuff, I love it.

I've been wanting a soundtrack ever since I first saw the movie some 20 years ago. Really looking forward to the blu ray!

surely member ZardozSpeaks must have an opinion about this upcoming release.
I saw ZARDOZ on UHF TV during 1984.
ZARDOZ was the first movie that I bought on VHS tape in 1987.
I currently own the DVD on ZARDOZ, but since I am not collecting Blu-ray discs I have no plans to get this latest incarnation.
I rank ZARDOZ within my favorite 100 films.

ZARDOZ is one of my favorite sci-fi fantasies of the 1970s. I saw it at Leow's in NYC when it opened. I got such a kick out of it I kept going back to see it. Audiences were pretty savvy in those days and accepted the film in the spirit in which it was offered. Boorman captured the same audience that went to see FANTASTIC PLANET, THE LAST DAYS OF MAN ON EARTH aka THE FINAL PROGRAMME, ZPG, EL TOPO etc. People had no trouble understanding it, its serious message or its blackened humor. It was quite popular in the NYC / Long Island / New Jersey / Connecticut area. As I recall, the L.A. Times Calendar and The New York Times did big feature stories on it, there were great write-ups in Sight and Sound, Films and Filming, Cinefantastique and other film magazines. I still have the paperback novelization by John Boorman. If you love the film you should read that, it's still obtainable used from amazon marketplace and ebay:
It's a shame Sean Connery and John Boorman never worked together again because they made a great team.
Can't wait to receive the new hi-def transfer from Twilight Time.
