Quartet has announced three expanded score CDs expected to be released by the end of the month -- a two-disc version of Jerry Goldsmith's rousing orchestral score for the 1985 remake of KING SOLOMON'S MINES (featuring a remastered version of the complete score as well as the original selection of cues from the LP); a two-disc expanded version of Ennio Morricone's SAHARA, with both the complete score and the original album tracks; and an expanded version of Henry Mancini's terrific score for director Blake Edwards' fourth Peter Sellers/Inspector Clouseau film, THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN, featuring the Oscar nominated song "Come to Me." (The rumor is that another original song from the score, "Until You Love Me," sung in drag by a butler character, was actually voiced by Mrs. Edwards herself, Julie Andrews).
Varese Sarabande will release John Frizzell's score for the English-language remake of the thriller Loft, now titled THE LOFT (the original was scored by Wolfram De Marco, with a CD release from MovieScore Media), on January 20.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced their lists of the 114 original scores and 79 original songs eligible for nomination for the music Oscar nominations (see full lists at the bottom of this column). Presumably because of the prominent use of classical pieces in the film, Antonio Sanchez' much-talked about drum score for Birdman was not ultimately eligible. Alexandre Desplat has five scores on the list, and Christophe Beck and Marco Beltrami each have four. The lengthy eligible song list includes numbers from such obscure films as Garnet's Gold, Girl on a Bicycle, The Hornet's Nest, Hot Guns with Guns, Life Inside Out, Life of an Actress: The Musical, Occupy the Farm, The One I Wrote for You, A Small Section of the World, Special, Under the Electric Sky, and Work Weather Wife, as well as several films you've actually heard of.
With the highly publicized cancellation of Sony's Christmas release of the new Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy THE INTERVIEW, it should come as no surprise that La-La Land has had to cancel their upcoming CD (previously announced on Amazon) that would have paired Henry Jackman's music for The Interview with his score for This Is the End.

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
MR. PIP - Harry Gregson-Williams
"John Toon’s handsome location lensing highlights a glossy package coated in orchestral syrup."
Dennis Harvey, Variety
"The scenes of violent cruelty are truly painful to sit through, but their impact is completely upended by Adamson’s decision to cut in yet more Dickens references, which are backed by a preachy and unrelenting score from Harry Gregson-Williams ('Total Recall,' 'The Chronicles of Narnia')."
Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter
