Castle Rock Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Audio:''' A soft piano sounder followed by a five-note fanfare with horns and bells. This tune was composed by Marc Shaiman. Some films, such as some prints of ''Misery'', ''Year of the Comet'' and ''Honeymoon in Vegas'', have the end part of the theme a bit different. On some films, the soundtrack of the film is used. The Showtime documentary ''But Seriously...'' has the full logo with a shortened version of the theme, beginning on the last few piano notes before going into the five-note fanfare.

* It usually can be seen on Castle Rock releases from 1989 to 1994. However, this logo may or may not be present, depending on who currently owns the rights to the film and where it can be seen. Most commonly, an MGM logo will precede the Castle Rock logo; in other cases, the next logo may replace this one, and on occasion the [[Columbia Pictures]] logo seen on original prints may be kept as well. Current prints of ''City Slickers'' have the 2001 MGM lion followed by the next logo, for instance.

* Can also be found on the [[Olive Films]] Blu-Ray release of ''Sibling Rivalry'' (alongside the original Columbia logo, all preceded by the 2001 MGM lion).

*Strangely, it appeared on a 1998 airing of ''The Shawshank Redemption'' on WIN Television in Australia, preceded by the 1992 [[Roadshow Television]] logo, with the transition effect. It's possible that this logo was used on the original 1994 theatrical run of said film and the next logo appeared when it was re-released in early 1995 during the Oscar season.

* This doesn't appear on ''The Spirit of '76''; although Castle Rock owns the copyright (alongside Black Diamond Productions), the movie just has the [[Commercial Pictures]] logo.

* The early Turner variant appears on the original Columbia TriStar Home Video VHS releases of ''The Shawshank Redemption'', ''Before Sunrise'' and ''Forget Paris''. It was also seen on the [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] release of ''The Shawshank Redemption''.

* The bylineless version is seen on ''Waiting for Guffman'', ''Ghosts of Mississippi'' and ''Absolute Power''. It also appeared on the ''Hamlet'' game for Windows.

* The first Time Warner byline is seen on ''Zero Effect'', ''My Giant'', ''Mickey Blue Eyes'', ''Bait'', ''Best in Show'' and ''Miss Congeniality''. It also appeared on the original release of ''The Last Days of Disco'' and the original video releases, but current prints replace it and the [[Gramercy Pictures]] logo with the [[Focus Features]] logo (even the last part of the logo theme that goes into the credits is muted out).

* The AOL Time Warner logo is seen on ''Hearts in Atlantis'', ''The Majestic'', ''The Salton Sea'', ''Two Weeks Notice'', ''The Adventures of Pluto Nash'', ''Murder by Numbers'', ''Kangaroo Jack'' and ''Envy'' (despite all Time Warner companies using the Time Warner byline at this point. The logo possibly had the AOL Time Warner byline due to the movie's release being delayed).

* The second TimeWarner byline is seen on almost all 2004-2017 films from the studio from ''Before Sunset'' to ''Shock and Awe'', and sometimes plasters the previous and older-bylined logos on newer prints. However, ''The Polar Express'' (2004) uses the first Time Warner variant from 1998.

* This logo does not appear on ''Friends with Benefits'', as only an in-credit notice appears.
