I believe that project gave a bad taste in people's mouths cuz of the argument the "Orchestrator" made in the thread shortly after the second attempt failed. Some folks said they wouldn't support the project if it were to be revived a third time after seeing the way he talked to the members
So what did the orchestrator say? I missed that one.

I would back this.
The only Kickstarter than I have experienced as dishonest is the book kickstarter.
The problem isn't crowdfunding, it's bad faith actors.
Intrada have proven themselves to be Kickstarter actors of integrity. If the project gets funded, they keep their promises and deliver. They also remain transparent through the process.
If the project doesn't get funded—but this one will and then some—nodody loses.
The criticism some have placed around Intrada then selling the crowd funded product is bizarre.
Crowd funding is to fund the project that creates the product, not to buy exclusive access to it or rights in further sales of the product. You're helping the producer produce it, because you want one. That's the model.
You're effectively buying it up front to help get it produced.
Now, you could make the argument that you'd prefer to be a shareholder with rights over the final product and shares in its proceeds (and risks) rather than a crowdfunder, but that's not the model that's on offer.
The offer is transparent. We buy in or we don't. Either way, Intrada has proved themselves a good faith actor.
Cheers

Is there any news anywhere about when the Kickstarter will start?

An Intrada project. I don’t think Intrada has confirmed whether Stromberg is conducting but it seems very likely, and he did conduct the teaser recorded at the Abbott and Costello RSNO sessions last year. Leigh Phillips is working on this for Intrada too, including preparation of the written scores but not having to reconstruct things by ear as he did recently on Crawlspace and all but one cue of Pursuit, for his own Kickstarter.
Leigh Phillips has not yet announced what his next own next Prague Kickstarter campaign will be, after the premiere recordings of Pursuit/Crawlspace/The People Next Door.

There is a good chunk of music that Goldsmith wrote for this film which didn't get used in it. Frankly his score was rather hacked up in the picture. In some cases an entire cue that he wrote was left out, but other times cues would just be horribly compromised. For an example of that, I give you a cue which by my best guess is called "The Bottle" (going by https://academycollection.org/web/arena/search#/entity/academy/71302942/the-chairman---music-sketches):
https://soundcloud.com/user-906859019-113845892/the-bottle
This is taken from the Twilight Time Blu-ray's isolated score track. Obviously treated badly in the film mix, with all the FX/foreign dialogue... but it also just fades out completely in the middle section, before weirdly coming back later!
Here's the cue immediately following it, which I'm fairly sure is "The Students" (again, Goldsmith's score is such a mess in the film it's hard to know for sure):
https://soundcloud.com/user-906859019-113845892/the-students
Notice that both cues prominently feature Goldsmith's Main Title theme, something which doesn't appear much on the album in between the Main Title and its reprise in the End Credits... getting more development of that theme is one of the reasons I'm most excited for a complete new RSNO recording.

This is a great Goldsmith score and as per Yavar's note, I hope Intrada is able to produce the recording to include tracks not featured in the film.
I’m sure they would not have considered this project if that wasn’t the plan. It doesn’t make sense to only record what’s heard in the film, because so many cues there are awkwardly truncated like the example I gave, and would sound terrible presented that way on album even sans sound effects. We already know they’ve successfully accessed the Herrick Library in the past for Black Patch, but I think they may also be able to get written music from JoAnn Kane.
