Re: Apparant Sunshine Soundtrack Release Date/Sunshine OST (where is it?)
It seems you hate everything about Sunshine, so why even bother posting about it?

And To Heal? Mercury? Loads of Birds? I would even say To Heal is on par with the Main Theme as far as importance to the movie.

No mystery here. If you look closely at your packet, you'll notice that all the scores included are for films that didn't get a commercial release of the score. 28 Days Later had a commercial release. 28 Weeks Later did not.

I will agree with you that "Peggy Sussed" was woefully out of place in the end credits.

When he first started sending these out in May, there was no sign of an official release anywhere on the horizon. It was just part of his unreleased scores packet.

Actually, the hypen was officially dropped in 1985. It's now known as "20th Century Fox" (actually Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation dba 20th Century Fox). And in any case, Sunshine was released by Fox Searchlight Pictures, which is a different division of Fox Filmed Entertainment from 20th Century Fox.
