I'm really struggling to believe there are people out there dying to get the soundtrack. I'm afraid this entry in the franchise will go the way of the matrix sequels. And if your question is "what matrix sequels?", well, that's my point.
You're confusing the movie and the music. There are a lot of terrible movies with great soundtracks (Phantom Menace, for instance). Both Clint Mansell and Lorne Bale are highly-regarded and talented composers, with many soundtracks under their belts - and plenty of fans. I haven't seen the movie but I've heard some of the soundtrack and it saddens me that it isn't available.
Soundtracks to movies, TV shows, and video games are an extremely popular genre, it's just one that goes unnoticed. Same thing with Classical music - arguably there are many, many people who enjoy listening to Classical music and can't wait to buy the latest album by their favorite orchestra. Just because there aren't billboard signs, music festivals, or Spotify music promotions doesn't mean it's not a genre that's of interest to many people.
Sure, the movie had a lot of problems, but that doesn't mean people aren't interested in the soundtrack. Phantom Menace is awful for many different reasons, but it's one of my favorite movie scores.
I remember loving the soundtrack the Queen of the Damned, it was completely arranged by Jonathan Davis and had a lot of big names on it. The movie was a travesty and an insult to Anne Rice's work, but then there was this awesome soundtrack (if you were a fan of that type of music).
Well, I don't know about "dying", but there's a lot of frustration and playfully desperate rhetoric. Check the comments on the petition, and the fact that they hail from all over the world: https://www.change.org/p/paramount-release-the-ghost-in-the-...
Also check the comments on this 90 second snippet of the score, and on the Youtube 'related videos' that have bits of the score extracted from promos, trailers, clips etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSN8ndwJPVo
It's just beautiful ambient cyberpunk music, and Clint Mansell and Lorne Balfe are very prominent composers.
And I did find the criticism that the so-called "journalists" are too busy writing click-bait headlines to even rouse themselves to the level of interest in a story like this as small as simply returning an email to be a bit on point. I suspect when historians place a date on the death of investigative journalism, it will be in what is currently our past.
Unrelated but when I first heard a journalist report a tweet as news I knew he had just made himself redundant. Not saying there was a way for him to stop this.
