It stars Ellen Paige and Willem Dafoe. It went to Tribeca Film Festival. And now, it has a soundtrack from Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe. We're pretty sure Beyond: Two Souls is officially a movie now.

Zimmer and Balfe, who collaborated on Inception and The Dark Knight movies, are working on Quantic Dream's upcoming PS3 adventure.

"This was slightly more ambitious and interesting than other things we've looked at in the past," Zimmer said in a new video released by the PlayStation.Blog. This isn't the first game the two have worked on--they previously worked on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

      There are plenty game composers who make way better stuff than what's on film or TV. A composer from film or TV making something for games just makes them a video game music composer now. Hans Zimmer was making stuff for Call of Duty already, the Michael Bay of games. I'm not downplaying Zimmer's work, I loved his music in Inception and Black Hawk Down. But most games with film composers seem to be enough just to have their name in it. They must cost way more to book than regular game music composers or something. Mansell's contributions to Mass Effect 3 was minimal and disappointing after the game came out. This is all just marketing through name recognition.

      John Williams' work for Star Wars was great and for most Star Wars games they just adapted film music to the games. Some of the original stuff were great though like KOTOR and Rogue Squadron 2.

        Given how late in the game the other composers were recruited for ME3, I suspect that Mansell simply dropped the ball somewhere along the way.
