The film is in theaters March 29, and the soundtrack, featuring the score by award-winning composer Alan Silvestri (The Avengers, the Back to the Future trilogy, Forrest Gump), becomes available for streaming and digital purchase the next day.
WaterTower Music announced today the details of the soundtrack to Ready Player One, Steven Spielberg’s action adventure based on Ernest Cline’s best-selling book of the same name.
A two-CD version of the soundtrack is slated for an April 6 release, with a Double Vinyl configuration of the soundtrack available July 13. The film’s director/producer Steven Spielberg notes, “While all sorts of culturally iconic references populate ‘Ready Player One,’ the score that Alan Silvestri composed is completely and intoxicatingly original.
Though Ready Player One marks their first collaboration on a film directed by Spielberg, Silvestri has scored a number of films produced by the filmmaker, including the Back to the Future films.
