Steve Jablonsky scoring 'Transformers' (courtesy ScoringSessions.com)

Yesterday we reported that Linkin Park and Hans Zimmer were working on the score to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. At the time, no one seemed to know what this development meant for Steve Jablonsky’s score.

We can now clarify exactly what is going on, the most important part being the news that Steve Jablonsky is still the music composer behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Steve kindly took the time out of his busy schedule to contact us and clarify the situation. This is what he told us:

In a nutshell, Michael Bay sent the new Linkin Park song over to my studio. Hans and I had a listen, and we both thought it was really cool, and it might be interesting to try incorporating some of those elements into the score. So we got the guys from the band down to the studio and talked about how to do that. They’re all really cool guys and really excited about adding some of their sounds to the score.

But I am still the composer on this film. It has all gotten rather complicated. The film is BIG, and now that we’ve got Linkin Park involved, Hans has kind of been helping me keep the production on track, because I’m so focused on writing the score at the moment.

So good news all round as we can now expect a brilliant Steve Jablonsky score with the involvement of legend Hans Zimmer and Linkin Park.

If you don’t know much about Jablonsky’s original score to the first Transformers movie, then you’re missing out.  We highly suggest you grab yourself a copy.  You can hear a few snippets in the MP3 widget below:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits theaters June 24.

We only just posted a handful of new images from Terminator Salvation, and now MTV have added three more to the mix.  These come from the book The Art of Terminator Salvation again by Tara Bennett and Titan Books (due April 28).  Get a load of the size comparisons that are illustrated – no need to wait for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to see giant robots!

A man has posted a YouTube video claiming he is the thief who leaked X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He explains his reasons and issues a taunt to Hugh Jackman, the whole time exposing his eyes, mouth, voice, facial shape and lack of understanding about modern facial and voice recognition software.   Is he authentic?  Well it probably doesn’t really matter, given that hoaxing is also a criminal offence.  Check it out:

Total Film and Joblo have between them added another seven new Terminator Salvation images to the mix.  Some of these images come from Tara Bennett’s Terminator Salvation: The Official Movie Companion which chronicles the making of the film (you can check out some more storyboard images from her book here). 

Terminator Salvation: The Official Movie Companion will be released by Titan Books on May 1st.

Watch the following MTV special featuring clips and interviews with the cast of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in theaters Wednesday July 15.

It’s no secret that Leonard Nimoy is the new kid on the Fringe block, having been cast as the mysterious William Bell.

When we learned this news, it came with the caveat that Nimoy would only appear briefly towards the end of the first season and in two more episodes during season 2.

In a recent interview with Sci Fi Wire, Nimoy has confirmed what we already knew, but has thrown out an additional teaser – he may do more episodes.

When asked if the two episodes he’ll be appearing in will air back to back, he replied:

I don’t know that they’ll be chronological, sequential. I really don’t know. It will really depend on what the writers have in mind and my availability. And then, if there’s more to be done and we’re having a good time, we’ll do more.

The possibility that Nimoy will now appear in more than just those two episodes is enough to have us hoping “they have a good time”.

Terminator Salvation director McG has confirmed he’s now prepping his feature film adaptation of Jules Verne’s 139 year old novel, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

“I’m just bringing it into today’s culture,” he told MTV. “I think it is so interesting that 7/10ths of Earth is water, and so few people know anything about what is going on beneath its surface.”

“There’s a great story there,” McG adds.  “I love the anti-hero of Captain Nemo – and I like Jules Verne.”

Verne’s story tells the story of a crew aboard a naval ship sent to track down and destroy a sea monster.  Whilst battling the monster they are thrown overboard, only to find that the sea monster is actually metal machine.  Once aboard they learn it is a submarine named the Nautilus, and it is captained by the outlaw Nemo.

The screenplay to the big budget Disney film is in the hands of Justin Marks. Marks was hired to rewrite a draft script that had previously been written by Bill Marsilii.  To date Marks’ only feature film writing credit is Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.  He is also scripting a feature film adaptation of the Shadow of the Collossus video game.

Disney previously made 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea as a feature film in 1954 starring Kirk Douglas and James Mason.  Interestingly, it was the first science fiction film Disney had ever made and it went on to win two Academy Awards.

The new film is expected to be in theaters sometime during 2010.
