Criterion Channel Trailer for ‘Synth Soundtracks’ Collection of Films

"Once the sound of the future, now awesomely retro..." Every month, the Criterion Channel streaming service (one of the best in cinema) debuts a series of programming collections. Each one features a batch of films with a particular theme or connection by actor / director / composer. This is one of the best sets that I need to feature!

Everyone knows Vangelis' iconic synth score for Blade Runner, but this selection went with Vangelis' other film Missing (1982).

This also includes: A Clockwork Orange (1971), Shogun Assassin (1980), The Legend of Hell House (1973), Liquid Sky (1982), Tenebrae (1982), For All Mankind (1989), Delta Space Mission (1984), Assault on Precinct 13 (1976). Enjoy them all. Here's the Criterion Channel teaser trailer for ...

Powerhouse Animation is working on the animation. Along with Hayley Atwell, the voice cast includes Allen Maldonado as Zip, and Earl Baylon reprising his role as Jonah from Tomb Raider video games. More cast to be revealed later. The first bit of footage debuted last fall, and this next teaser with another 30-seconds of footage, is primarily announcing the official ...
