‘Don’t Breathe’ Score Coming to Vinyl From Invada
While Fede Alvarez’s Don’t Breathe was exhilarating in countless ways, I think it would be criminally remiss to not give a lot of credit to composer Roque Baños‘ incredible score. Looking at how everything was put together reveals that deep thought and ingenuity went into creating something deeply unsettling and just as effective as Baños’ previous work with Alvarez on Evil Dead.
The folk over at Blumhouse revealed that the score will be coming to CD and vinyl later this year, with Lakeshore tackling a CD release and Invada Records pushing the album out on vinyl just in time for Halloween. Lakeshore’s CD will be coming out October 14th while Invada’s vinyl, which will come on 2xLP red/orange swirl, will ship Halloween weekend as a mail order exclusive. A retail version of the vinyl, which will be pressed on 2xLP orange wax, will come out November 25th.
“Three teens who get away with perfectly planned home robberies have set their sights on one last payout that will get them out of crime forever. Their target: a reclusive blind man with millions of dollars in hiding. But as soon as they break into his home, the tables are turned and they find themselves trapped and fighting for survival against a psychopath with secrets of his own.”
Directed by Fede Alvarez, who co-wrote the film with Rodo Sayagues, Don’t Breathe stars Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, and Stephen Lang.
AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
