"Worlds Collide" And "Run," The First Music To Be Released From The Flash (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), Now Available
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) WaterTower Music is proud to announce today's release of "Worlds Collide" and "Run"—the first music to be released from Warner Bros. Pictures' upcoming film "The Flash." Directed by Andy Muschietti (the "IT" films, "Mama"), "The Flash" serves as the DC Super Hero's first-ever standalone feature film. "Worlds Collide" and "Run" were created by lauded two-time GRAMMY- and EMMY-nominated composer Benjamin Wallfisch (The "IT" films, "Shazam," "Blade Runner 2049" [with Hans Zimmer]) and both are now available for streaming (Standard and Dolby Atmos / Spatial Audio configurations) and digital purchase. The two tracks will also be included on the upcoming The Flash (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), which is scheduled for release the same day the film is set to open in theaters in North America, June 16, 2023.

Wallfisch describes "Worlds Collide" as an important cue - heard at the climax of the movie - which features a new theme representing the meshing/coming together of DC eras past and present.

The composer discussed the track in further detail: "'Worlds Collide' was a cue that Andy (Muschietti) and I iterated on—probably over 50 times—to get just right, even as the orchestra was recording it. Andy's incredibly creative ideas meant adjusting the music and musicians in real time. The track is built on a chord progression where the outer voices of the chords move towards each other, almost pulled together by a powerful gravitational force, whilst always building in intensity. At the apex, there's about 17 layers of orchestra playing together—probably over 1000 musicians! It was one of those moments where we had to 'go big or go home' to match the magnitude of what fans will see on screen!"

And "Run" was the very first music Wallfisch wrote for "The Flash," just over three years ago. He described the genesis of the track and how it was integrated into the film: "Andy invited me to come onboard for the movie in the summer of 2020. Although the script was still being developed, I was inspired by the film concepts we discussed. 'Run' was basically the first music I envisioned: a restless, searching piano figure, representing Barry's crisis after losing his mother, played against insistent staccato strings that are on the edge of being impossible to perform because of their sheer speed."

"A few days later, and months prior to shooting," Wallfisch continued, "I played this super rough sketch to Andy, alongside a bunch of other ideas for the film. Then, two years later, as Andy was putting together his first cut, he surprised me by putting this little piano sketch up against picture in one of the key moments in the movie, and it stayed there through to the final, almost unchanged. Andy and I have worked together closely for the last six years, and this was a moment I was especially grateful for our relationship. I feel so fortunate to have such a creative shorthand with someone I consider an absolute genius."

Warner Bros. Pictures presents "The Flash," directed by Andy Muschietti. Ezra Miller reprises their role as Barry Allen in the DC Super Hero's first-ever standalone feature film. Worlds collide when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he's looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry's only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
"The Flash" ensemble also includes rising star Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue and Michael Keaton. It is produced by Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco. The screenplay is by Christina Hodson, with a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Marianne Jenkins.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film, "The Flash" will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theaters in North America on June 16, 2023 and internationally beginning 14 June 2023.

Golden Globe, BAFTA, two-time Grammy, Emmy and five-time World Soundtrack Award nominee, composer Benjamin Wallfisch has worked on over 80 feature films, collaborating with directors including Ron Howard, Ted Melfi, Andy Muschietti, Christopher Nolan, David F. Sandberg, Leigh Whannell, Gore Verbinski and Denis Villeneuve. His latest project is Andy Muschietti's THE FLASH for Warner Bros. Pictures.
A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in London—and mentored by Dario Marianelli and Hans Zimmer—Benjamin's notable projects include IT and IT CHAPTER TWO, BLADE RUNNER 2049 (with Hans Zimmer), SHAZAM!, THE INVISIBLE MAN, MORTAL KOMBAT, THIRTEEN LIVES, A CURE FOR WELLNESS, ANNABELLE: CREATION, KING OF THIEVES, HIDDEN FIGURES (with Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer), and music based on Elgar's Enigma Variations for DUNKIRK.
Benjamin has performed live in over 100 concerts worldwide, conducting orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Sydney Symphony at venues including the Hollywood Bowl, Sydney Opera House and Royal Festival Hall. He is a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and BAFTA, and is an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music. In 2019 he founded The Scoring Lab, a state-of-the-art scoring production company and Dolby Atmos Certified mix studio in the heart of Santa Monica, California.
