Veröffentlichung (USA) - Milan Records: Clint Eastwood's Iwo Jima

[Marcus Stöhr]

Milan Records hat eine Doppel-CD mit den Musiken zu den beiden Clint Eastwood Filmen LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA & FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS angekündigt.

Clint Eastwoods critically-lauded companion films, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima, explore the historic Battle of Iwo Jima from both the American and Japanese viewpoints. Each film has garnered rave reviews and multiple award nominations, including Best Feature Film (Letters From Iwo Jima 2007 Academy Awards) and Best Director (Flags of Our Fathers 2007 Golden Globe Awards). Now, the outstanding soundtracks to both films are available together in a special deluxe collectors edition package: Clint Eastwoods Iwo Jima.

This eye-catching embossed double-digipak includes the full original soundtracks to both films plus exclusive interviews with Clint Eastwood, Kyle Eastwood and Michael Stevens, actual Marine Corps broadcast recordings from the Battle of Iwo Jima, a 40-page booklet with extensive liner notes about the battle, an introduction by Flags of Our Fathers author James Bradley; historical photos; extra photos from the films; an insert map of the Battle of Iwo Jima, and more!

40-Seiten-Booklet? Nicht schlecht. Was soll denn das Ding kosten?

Allerdings hab ich die Musik aus den Filmen als relativ langweilig in Erinnerung - vielleicht sollte ich mich von der Verpackung nicht zu sehr verführen lassen.

Tja mich hats gepackt, ich hab zwar beide Scores, aber meine sammlung schreit sozusagen danach. Bei amazon.com ca. 30 dollar, also ungefähr 25-27 € oder so.
