The Wilson song is probably used only in the trailer and some other composer does the full score for the film. Trailer music only very rarely has anything to do with finished film. And with directors like Paul W. S. Anderson almost never...

For all of those out there who are dissing SW for doing this:
Who are we to have a say in how SW chooses to navigate his personal musical journey?
I say, good for him. I wish I were in his shoes.
Well the guy did turn down 5 Million to do another tour with PT before embarking on Grace for Drowning, so I DOUBT money would be a motivating factor in his desires to do film scores. Good on him, and I don't agree making money doing what you love and want to do is the same thing as selling out. The artist starving for his trade is the real true artist and a farthing more is selling out is bullshit. Just my view. I for one love a good film score, always have, and I think Wilson would be phenomenal at it.
Folks, believe it or not, Steven is an artist who probably wants his music to be heard by as many people as possible. That's not a bad thing. If you look at the IMDB message board for this movie, there are people asking about the music. Sadly, there are many people out there who have no idea who Steven Wilson is, but I am sure if they heard his music, they would be fans. I don't know how good this movie is going to be, but it is great that Steven's music will be played in theaters across the country.

I wonder if this is based on the Robert Harris novel.
Regardless of who does the soundtrack, the last movie about Pompeii I saw had the great Frankie Howerd in it. This doesn't look to be at that standard.
Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
I probably wouldn't have taken notice of the movie if it wasn't for the Steven Wilson connection. But now that I have, I will definitely go watch it to see what John Snow has been up to beyond the wall.
5 million?
What's the story?
He has already had his music in a major motion picture if Porcupine Tree counts. The 2005 film Four Brothers starring Mark Wahlberg had a bar scene where the jukebox was playing PT. I can't remember for sure what song but I seem to recall it was "Shallow".

I read it in an interview when he was thinking about going it alone. I don't know where the money was coming from. He turned it down to pursue grace for drowning. I thought at the time I didn't think the guys in PT would have been too jazzed about that decision. Honestly, I didn't make it up. And in the grand scheme of things, 5 million isn't big money anymore relative to what some of the so called big name talent is pulling down is it?
The whole point of the comment was to say I don't think he's simply motivated by the money. It's another artistic outlet he's interested in. And good on him.
Event Horizon was a good flick. Hey, even a great director can't turn a piece of crap like AVP into anything worth seeing. Funny, I remember seeing Alien 3 in theaters and hated the movie. They ruined everything I loved about the first two films, and killed off major characters before the movie even started. They killed off Newt of all people! But I came away rather impressed by the direction of the movie. Didn't know it at the time, but the first time director was David Fincher, one of my current favorites.
