Varese Sarabande presents the Deluxe Edition of Brian Tyler's score to Timeline (2003). Directed by Richard Donner (The Omen, Superman: The Movie, Lethal Weapon), the film was the last in a hugely successful run of high-concept, big-budget productions based on books by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, Congo, Sphere). Timeline follows a group of present-day archaeologists and students who travel to the 14th century in search of their team leader, who previously visited via a corporation's "wormhole" time machine. When the group becomes trapped in the past, they must survive a brutal conflict between England and France to find a way home. Most of the cast were little known at the time, but Paul Walker, Gerard Butler, David Thewlis and Michael Sheen went on to considerable fame. Timeline was originally scored by Jerry Goldsmith, but ongoing reedits to the project, and the composer's failing health, forced him to bow out. Brian Tyler was recruited to write the score for the final release version, which he considered "a tribute to one of my favorite composers and a director I had long admired." Tyler's score is action-packed and pulses with suspenseful rhythms and large symphonic flourishes?capturing the romantic sweep of the characters' adventure, with a tense and modern sheen. The tender and gentle theme for Paul Walker and Anna Friel's characters' love story ("Lady Claire") offers moments of hope and tranquility amidst the drama and suspense. Varese Sarabande's 2003 release of Timeline presented 26 tracks and 46 minutes. This Deluxe Edition features 37 tracks and over 79 minutes, chronicled by new liner notes by Jeff Bond.

VARESE SARABANDEのデラックス・エディション！マイケル・クライトンのベストセラー小説を映画化したＳＦアドベンチャー大作『タイムライン』（2003年）のデラックス・エディションがリリース！音楽はブライアン・タイラー。
トラックリストリチャード・ドナー監督（『オーメン』『スーパーマン』『リーサル・ウェポン』）による本作は、マイケル・クライトン原作（『ジュラシック・パーク』『コンゴ』『スフィア』）の大ヒットシリーズを締めくくるハイコンセプト・大作映画である。
『タイムライン』は、現代の考古学者と学生たちが、企業の開発した“ワームホール”タイムマシンで過去に旅立ったチームリーダーを捜すため、14世紀へタイムトラベルする物語。しかし一行は過去に閉じ込められ、イングランドとフランスの間で繰り広げられる残忍な戦争を生き延びながら、帰還の道を探さねばならない。当時ほとんど無名だったキャスト陣だが、ポール・ウォーカー、ジェラルド・バトラー、デイヴィッド・シューリス、マイケル・シーンは後に大ブレイクを果たした。
『タイムライン』の音楽は当初ジェリー・ゴールドスミスが担当していたが、制作過程での度重なる再編集と作曲家の健康悪化により降板を余儀なくされた。最終公開版のためのスコアはブライアン・タイラーが起用され、彼はこれを「私が最も敬愛する作曲家の一人、そして長年憧れてきた監督へのオマージュ」と位置づけた。
タイラーのスコアはアクション満載で、サスペンスに満ちたリズムと壮大なシンフォニックな華やかさが脈打つ。登場人物たちの冒険のロマンチックな広がりを捉えつつ、緊張感と現代的な輝きを帯びている。ポール・ウォーカーとアンナ・フリエル演じるキャラクターのラブストーリーのための優しく穏やかなテーマ“Lady Claire”は、ドラマとサスペンスの合間に希望と安らぎの瞬間をもたらす。
2003年に発売された従来盤は26トラック・46分収録であった。このデラックス・エディションは37トラック・79分超を収録し、ジェフ・ボンドによる新たなライナーノーツが付属する。
