Elf Meets Terminator

Composer Danny Elfman told MTV that he will be scoring McG's Terminator Salvation-.

I just started [working on it]” Elfman says

On the subject of using the original Terminator theme by composer Brad Fiedel Elfman says:

I think if it comes up and it seems appropriate, we will [use it]. And if it doesn’t, we [won't]. I never really know what to expect when I begin other than just kind of get into it and have fun. Especially a movie like “T4” – just have fun. So that’s what I intend to do.



The soundtrack will also include a song from the film’s co-star hip-hop artist Common who plays a freedom fighter who battles Skynet with John Connor (Christian Bale) in the film.

Elfman is very talented--but at first glance he doesn't seem the obvious choice for this project given his style and sensibilities--but I'm intrigued.

Fiedel's theme should be used in some way...
