Jan 18, 2019 Movie: Glass (2019) info with movie soundtracks, credited songs, film score albums, reviews, news, and more. Glass was commissioned to write the score by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, which released the movie with the Glass-soundtrack on VHS and DVD in 1999. According to Glass, the choice of chamber music played by a string quartet rather than an orchestral score followed from the movie's setting, 'libraries and drawing rooms and gardens.'

Watchmen: Music from the Motion Picture is the film soundtrack album for the 2009 film Watchmen. The soundtrack features three songs written by Bob Dylan: 'Desolation Row', 'The Times They Are a-Changin', and 'All Along the Watchtower'.
The film uses some of the songs mentioned in the comic, including 'The Times They Are a-Changin', Jimi Hendrix's cover of 'All Along the Watchtower'; Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sounds of Silence'; Nena's '99 Luftballons'; a muzak version of Tears For Fears' 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'; and Nat King Cole's 'Unforgettable'.[2] Many of the period songs were up-mixed to 5.1 surround for the film using the Penteo process.[3] Tyler Bates, who wrote the film's original score, said the challenge was composing music that would transition effectively into these famous songs.[4] Director Zack Snyder and Bates received Dylan's permission to use the stems from 'The Times They Are a-Changin' so the three-minute song could play over the six-minute opening.[5] The story of how Dr. Manhattan came to be is accompanied by a montage of the pieces 'Prophecies' and 'Pruit Igoe' by Philip Glass, originally composed for the 1982 cult film Koyaanisqatsi. Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II's sex scene aboard the Owl Ship is set to the tune of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'. Originally Zack Snyder used a recording of the song by Allison Crowe for the scene, but decided Crowe's version was 'too romantic' and 'too sexy' for a scene that is intended to come across as ironic and 'ridiculous'. Snyder ended up placing the original Cohen studio recording in this scene.[6]My Chemical Romance, whose members are fans of the comic, covered Dylan's 'Desolation Row' for the first half of the closing credits.[7] The second half is followed by 'First We Take Manhattan' sung by Leonard Cohen.
The song 'The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning', composed by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins for the soundtrack of Batman & Robin, although used in a promotional trailer, was not included on the soundtrack of Watchmen. Also used in trailers but left off of the soundtrack is the track 'Take A Bow' by English alternative rock band, Muse, from their 2006 album, Black Holes and Revelations. Additionally, 'Bombshell', composed by American rock band Powerman 5000 for the soundtrack of Freddy vs. Jason Soundtrack (2003), although used in a music video and bonus tracks, was not included on Watchmen's original soundtracks. Also in the ads are Angel by Massive Attack.
