This past week, at the Todd/AO Scoring Stage in Studio City, California, composer Klaus Badelt recorded his score to the upcoming Wolfgang Petersen film, POSEIDON. The film, a remake of the 1972 disaster classic, THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, in which a tidal wave flips a cruise liner upside-down, stars Kurt Russell, Emmy Rossum, Jacinda Barrett, Josh Lucas, and Richard Dreyfuss.

The 80-piece orchestra was recorded with the brass and strings recorded separately, conducted by William Ross. The music was orchestrated by Jeff Toyne, Brad Warnaar, and Robert Elhai, and features a blend of orchestral and electronic elements, lending the score a contemporary feel.

No word yet on which label will release the soundtrack CD but you can rest assured there almost certainly will be one.
