Update:

Varese has now updated their site with complete info on all 3 titles:

THE LAST STATION
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Sergey Yevtushenko
Helen Mirren
Christopher Plummer
Paul Giamatti
Anne-Marie Duff
Kerry Condon
and James McAvoy

"Three superb performances by Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer and James McAvoy should have Oscar handicappers drooling." — Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter

In THE LAST STATION, from the novel by Jay Parini, the final year of Russian socialist writer Leo Tolstoy comes to the screen with Christopher Plummer in the lead role. The central issue is the status of Tolstoy's will as regards the custody of his literary estate. Long assumed to be the provenance of his wife, the Countess Sofya (Helen Mirren), it's now being claimed by Tolstoy's chief disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), as the rightful property of the Russian people. Very close, he believes, to getting the old man to sign away his life's work to the public domain, Chertkov engages the fastidious, worshipful young Valentin (James McAvoy) to become the writer's new assistant and Chertkov's spy, obliged to record and report everything said in the fraught household.

The classically beautiful score by St. Petersberg composer Sergey Yevtushenko captures the majesty of the Russian landscape and the drama of Tolstoy’s life.

Sony Pictures Classics opens THE LAST STATION for Academy consideration in limited release on December 23, going wide in January 2010.

Varèse Sarabande Catalog #: 302 066 998 2

EVEYRBODY'S FINE
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Dario Marianelli
Robert De Niro
Drew Barrymore
Kate Beckinsale
Sam Rockwell

Everybody’s Fine, a remake of Giuseppe Tornatore’s Stanno Tutti Bene, follows a widower (Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children (Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell) only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect. At the heart of Everybody’s Fine is the theme of family and physical and emotional distances traveled to bring the members back together.

The touching and beautiful score is from Academy Award®-winning composer Dario Marianelli (Atonement).

Miramax Films begins rolling out EVERYBODY’S FINE nationwide on December 4, widening over the holidays.

Varèse Sarabande Catalog #: 302 066 999 2
Release Date: 12/22/09

IT'S COMPLICATED
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Hans Zimmer and Heitor Pereira
Meryl Streep
Steve Martin
Alec Baldwin

From writer/director Nancy Meyers (Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday)

Jane (Meryl Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has — after a decade of divorce — an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Alec Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son’s college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable — an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman.

Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Steve Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane’s kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he’s become part of a love triangle.

The lively and romantic score is from Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer and guitarist Heitor Pereira.

Universal Pictures opens IT’S COMPLICATED nationwide on Christmas Day.

I hadn't gotten through all of the upcoming soundtrack releases on Amazon when the other titles were posted.

Thanks for finishing it off for me. I got busy at work and couldn't view any further before I left to go home.

THE LAST STATION is numbered 6998, EVERYBODY'S FINE is 6999, and IT'S COMPLICATED is 7001. Wonder whether they've got anything lined up for 7000? (Then again, I don't think they ever allocated 6000.)

Anyway - I might be mildly interested in the Zimmer score; THE HOLIDAY is a nice relaxing listen.

Ooh, tough way to go for Zimmer - but oh well, more money to spend on LaLaLand releases.

I thought this was a joke at first, but then I went to the Varese site to see for myself. Shame.

"Due to insufficient music in the final cut of the film, this release has now been canceled."

That doesn't mean, that there isn't enough music to make a great CD with - it just means, that the final cut didn't have a lot of score in it, I guess. And Varese now doesn't want to release it.
That is too bad. I hope we will get the music in one way or another at some point.
Gosh, even a Zimmer soundtrack gets canceled nowadays....

Yes it is..

But the following is just a GUESS on my part..


I suspect the reason why this happened can be traced to one person:

Nancy Meyers


Given what I've heard how she treats composers (Alan Silvestri comes to mind) , it would not surprise me that Zimmer and company scored the film and she decided at the last minute to dump major portions his score in favor or songs or perhaps even other licensed pieces that VARESE couldn't clear for their album.

It's also POSSIBLE that she had some say over the soundtrack album content and this is why they had to cancel since so much of the score didn't end up in the final version of the film.

This is of course just a wild guess on part, I could of course be wrong, but this seem rather odd thing to happen so late in the game.

I think you may be right; Nancy Meyers doesn't strike me as being a particular friend of film music (Something's Gotta Give, anyone?).

Well she has worked with Zimmer on several occasions, all occasions I think, actually. We might get a single score cue if there's a soundtrack release.

THE PARENT TRAP was scored by Alan Silvestri, and we got a full score CD for that one. From Disney no less.

Basically, that´s very awkward. Nancy Meyers does not appreciate film scores, she is more interested in filling the emotional beats with used up pop music. How original.

That comes as a surprise given the liner notes Meyers penned for that "Parent Trap" CD, which are among the most complimentary towards any composer I can recall. She's basically gushing over Silvestri, turning herself on about his smile and how "everything about him is really big." In fact she writes about "Alan the husband" so until I looked it up I'd just assumed she was his wife. Guess it wasn't a relationship meant to be...

Yes, but that one (along with the two Father of the Bride movies, which also involved Alan Silvestri, and which had plenty of him on the albums) also involved her then-partner Charles Shyer. These newer ones don't. Coincidence?
