Petition link: https://www.change.org/p/paramount-release-the-ghost-in-the-shell-2017-soundtrack-by-clint-mansell-and-lorne-balfe-gitsost 2) I wrote a short article encouraging journalists to question why the GITS score was shelved. Share it with people who need more context about the situation. "The biggest Hollywood mystery of 2017 is being questioned online, and ignored by mass media: What happened to the prominent Ghost in the Shell music score by Clint Mansell and Lorne Balfe?" https://festivalpeak.com/the-biggest-hollywood-mystery-of-2017-is-being-questioned-online-and-ignored-by-mass-media-2d800106934c 3) Join the campaign on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gitsost Twitter: https://twitter.com/gitsost Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gitsostcampaign 4) When Paramount adds the next Transformers trailer to Youtube, I will send an update asking all of you to comment on the video asking for the GITS OST. Get ready to run up in there :) Let's keep going, and get to 10,000 signatures! To paraphrase JFK, we choose to get the Ghost in the Shell score released, not because it's easy, but because it's hard. Onwards! ---- Photo of Scarlett Johansson and Juliette Binoche: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNobSVeAV9D/
