ComingSoon is pleased to present an exclusive track from Meg 2: The Trench – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, featuring music by renowned composer Harry Gregson-Williams. Listen to the track titled “Fun Island” below!
WaterTower Music will release the full digital soundtrack on Friday, July 28.
“Working with director Ben Wheatley on the score was an absolute joy as he encouraged me to get creative with the new characters we meet – creatures and humans alike – whilst embracing the main melodic content I’d set out in the first movie wherever it would feel satisfying to do so,” said Gregson-Williams.
“The movie is a fun, thrilling ride as the speed and threat of Jonas’ adversaries this time around has been increased and this is reflected in the pace of much the music. The size and power of a mighty symphony orchestra provides the backbone of the score, supplemented with driving synths, guitars, ethnic woodwinds, assorted conch shells and a large choir add color.
“Although there is much tension and exciting action to be had, there are many emotional beats within the story, too. Reflecting the protective instincts of the two lead men towards the orphaned Meying, I leant on the thematic material I’d laid out in the first movie for her mother’s character and developed that to the extent that it becomes her own.”
