The news is that the release of the musical score of the new Ghost in the Shell movie is cancelled, so I started this petition to Paramount and Lakeshore Records to convince them to release it! Let's all sign it, especially if you liked the music.

I haven't seen the movie and don't plan to, but I really did like what I heard of the score. Why are they cancelling the release? I could have sworn I saw FB ads advertising it.

You prob saw ads for the 'music inspired by' album
IDK if it was that. The official Ghost in the Shell page was running ads for the soundtrack. I guess that was before they scrapped the release.

I know right? It doesn't make sense. The fan petition to release the score is at almost 700 signatures:

We wrote to Lakeshore Records but didn't get a response. We got a response from Pilou Asbaek, the actor who played Batou, that he'll talk to director Rupert Sanders about the campaign. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but at least it's good that we managed to get a response from one prominent person involved in the movie.

Meanwhile we're organizing on social media (Twitter: https://twitter.com/gitsost, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gitsostcampaign/, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1788648314796425/ )

We still don't know the reason for the delay, or who the key decision-makers are that we need to lobby, so until then we're just going to raise a ruckus on social media and hope to catch the right person's attention!

I found interesting historical precedent: apparently the Transformers (2007) score was released after a petition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_The_Score
