Article about - and Photos from - the Transformers Movie Soundtrack Scoring Session

Anyone else notice the very hawt brunette (3rd from right) in bottom pic? She can blow my horn with TF music anyday!

Well I feared the original theme wouldn't make it into the movie as part of the cinematic experience. Well that sucks.

Note that it's always a great idea to get people involved who aren't fans of the franchise as well as being a professional in the industry who knows how to blend a hard hitting experience with some nostalgic factor to it.

I'm sure it will be a killer action film score, but I am upset that they didn't even put and subtle bits of the theme into the mix. the song isn't THAT corny. I've heard some great arrangements of that music that would go well within a score where they could just throw bits into it to keep it that true Transformers feel.

Oh well.... I'll just hope for the best. I guess the fact that the composer is at least thinking of an arrangement for the end credits is better than nothing at all.

That was a great report/picture gallery! I'm glad that two CDs are in the works. A new version of the classic theme anywhere in the film (including the end credits) would rock! I hope they release sheet music as well.

Very disappointing that they went with Jablonsky. Listening through things that he has done (Steamboy?, Chainsaw, etc) and it's not all that impressive, even predictable. It's hard to tell on The Island, since he was teamming with other composers, so you cannot tell what he had a hand in. Hopefully he can pull it off, but cautiously optimistic is even streaching it at this point.

i like that orginal might not be inthe soundtrack of this film but could be remade this new look for transformers so the film needs new music how would the fans feel if they heard the song the touch in a scene where spike first meets bumblebee when he transforms into robot mode?

I would like to have the original theme for the movie but only if its going to remade like they did with the opening the animated film that would be intersting here and to fit the style of the way this film looks.

Didn't Don Murphy or Tom DeSantos or SOMEONE say that they'd "have to be retarded" to leave out the original theme? Putting it at the end might as well be leaving it out.

Oh there might be two albums one with songs the other with the score

It would be a tragedy if the origional music wasn't incorporated somehow

I believe that it is mentioned as such ("a possibility") in the report.

That would be a hilarious little homage.

It would, though I would hate to hear the song bashed yet again. Though, it would make me laugh...
