The Last Airbender Soundtrack Score by James Newton Howard: June 29
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 by Specter
James Newton Howard’s score for The Last Airbender will be in stores on June 29th. I have not listened to the clips from the score yet, that are available online, because I’d rather wait for the movie to hear the music. I have all of JNH’s Shyamalan movie soundtracks and love each one of them (except for The Happening). I’m definitely looking forward to hearing the music in this film.
