Now, regarding The Hunger Games (which I cannot wai(t) to see), anyone heard news about the score?
I'm actually really looking forward to The Hunger Games too, read the book (working on the second one), and the movie looks friggin sweeet! I especially love the marketing tactic of deciding to show virtually NOTHING from the actual games themselves. Now, I dont know alot about the score, not alot is out there, but I do have 10 songs form the movie already, 2 trailer songs, 2 songs (like with lyrics), and then 6 songs that are instrumental (score, if you will) in addition to James Newton Howard's score coming out on the...26th I think i read? But yeah if you want to get some songs to hold you over until the Various Artist Album comes out on the 20th, and the Score on the 26th, then i suggest you go looking for these songs:
-Trailer 1 Music: "Mercury" ~ Groove Addicts
-Trailer 2 Music: "Deep Shadow" ~ T.T.L. ( Tying Tiffany and Lorenzo Montana')

Then, these are the songs that were listed in the Production Notes that are listed as being used in the film, but NOT included on the Soundtrack Album, and obviously not the score since they're not by James Newton Howard:
These are all available on iTunes, but double check the artists before you buy it, because there are different versions of some of them.
-"War" ~ Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
-"Sediment" ~ Laurie Spiegel
-"A Wasp On Her Abdomen" ~ Chas Smith
-"Three Movements For Orchestra, Mvt. 1" (Listed on iTunes As: "3 Movements: I. Quarter Note = 176-184 -") ~ Kristjan Jarvi & Lower Austrian Tonk�nstler Orchestra
-"Allt Var� Hlj�tt" ~ �lafur Arnalds
There is one more song I didn't find on iTunes and haven't tracked it down yet (Though surely it's just a simple google search away):
-"Farewell" ~ Evgueni Galperine and Mariana Tootsie
Before you ask any questions about the last six, they're from this list (which is from the Production Notes) and it's all over a bunch of sites so here's one of the many sources i got this from:
Lionsgate Releases Hunger Games Production Notes with NEW Details: Music & Sound | The Hunger Games (

But other than that i'm afraid I dont know anything about the music for the movie :( Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm eagerly awaiting at least a tracklist from James Newton Howards Score though, I'm sure it'll at least include "Horn Of Plenty" which is the National Anthem of Panem Written by "Arcade Fire" but done orchestrally for the movie by James Newton Howard. Hope this tiny bit of info helped at least some of you.
