Music
Originally, Carpenter wanted Ennio Morricone, the composer of Carpenter's The Thing (1982), to score the film. However, he was too busy with Red Sonja among a few other films. Toho opted for Carpenter to do the film's main theme, as well as a new orchestral score by Joe Hisaishi, the composer for many Hayao Miyazaki and Takeshi Kano films. The score was performed by The London Symphony Orchestra.
