Hans Zimmer & Linkin Park Scoring ‘Revenge Of The Fallen’?
On the 23rd of April it was announced over at MichaelBay.com that Linkin Park were teaming up with composer Steve Jablonsky on the score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
On the 24th of April it was announced on MikeShinoda.com that Linkin Park were teaming up with Hans Zimmer to help score Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – with no mention of Steve Jablonsky. This is also the first time we’ve heard of Hans Zimmer being associated to the film.
Apparently a song Linkin Park wrote for the film is being used as one of the themes, and various interpolations of that theme will be used throughout the film – and Hans Zimmer has been working on those.
From MikeShinoda.com:
My bandmates and I are working with award-winning film composer (and resident ass-kicker) Hans Zimmer. We met with Hans last week, and heard some of the incredible things he and his guys have done with our new song. In the next few days, we’ll be doing some work with Hans’ amazing writing and recording crew.
Jablonsky composed the score to the first Transformers movie. His score was superb, and in our opinion was THE best thing about the movie – and one of the best scores of 2007 (if not the best). His new score is the only thing we’ve been looking forward to in regards to the sequel.
So what does this mean for Jablonsky’s score? Will his score be replaced in parts, will it be broken up with Linkin Park and Hans Zimmer music, will the score be a synthesis of Linkin Park/Hans Zimmer/Steve Jablonsky, or has Jablonsky’s music been completely replaced at the last minute? We don’t yet have the answers, although given the announcement on MichaelBay.com we’d wager Jablonsky’s score hasn’t been completely replaced.
Here at Sci Fi Scoop we love Linkin Park and we consider Hans Zimmer to be one of the best if not THE best film composer in the business. However, the only thing we’ve been looking forward to in Revenge of the Fallen has been Jablonsky’s new score. We will therefore take a keen interest in reporting more on this as it becomes known.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits theaters June 24.
