Soundtrack

Are you one of those folks who still buys music on vinyl? Well, better make some shelf space because "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" soundtrack is coming and it's fucking massive.

Twitter-happy Trent Reznor teased fans a bit more today, tweeting "Working with @rob_sheridan and Neil Kellerhouse on a cool package to house the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack's SIX vinyls." Whoa wait, 6 LPs? There's a very good reason for that. Earlier this month, Reznor revealed that he's created a ton of music for the movie, tweeting "It's clocking in at two hours and forty-some odd minutes! We've lost our minds. Clear some disk space!" If that jibes with what we've heard about the running time for the movie, it pretty much means the score will be constant throughout and ever changing or Reznor has created a boatload of work that won't be used.

Okay, so there's no tracklist yet and details are still being firmed up, but dammit, it's something. "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" soundtrack will hit everywhere outside North America via Mute Records, as the film's composer Trent Reznor tweeted last night. And well, that's about it. No release date has been revealed.

In this SoundWorks Collection exclusive we talk with Composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Sound Re-recording Mixer Michael Semanick, and Re-recording Mixer, Sound Designer, and Supervising Sound Editor Ren Klyce.
