What is CLASH OF THE TITANS Without a Muse?

I don’t want to toot my own horn here (who the hell am I kidding), but I have been spouting for years that the British rock band Muse would be the perfect candidate to begin writing scores for movies.   At the very least, and this has been a bone of contention with me for some time, the band should be heavily considered to provide a song for a James Bond entry.   Well, we’re not getting that, but it is looking like Muse will be providing the score for the upcoming CLASH OF THE TITANS remake.

This news was first whispered at back in September, when Muse lead singer Matt Bellamy mentioned on a KROQ show that he would be doing some work on the Louis Leterrier film.   At that time, Bellamy explained his frustration with working for film makers:

They’re difficult to work with…As soon as you go into the Hollywood world, you’re at the bottom of a very big pile.

Now, it appears, if tour schedules align properly, the band will be providing the score for CLASH OF THE TITANS.

CLASH OF THE TITANS is the first interesting offer we’ve had for film work. We’re definitely interested in writing for films at some point when we get a break from being on the road.

Those were Bellamy’s words to UK’s The Daily Star when asked about potential work in the film world.

Personally, I think this is awesome news.   While the music they provide for the film will, surely, be very different from the music they provide on their albums, Muse offers an amazing blend of rock, orchestra, and even a bit of opera into their music.   It’s no surprise they are featured on so many film’s soundtracks.   And, who knows?   This could put them one step closer to finally putting together a Bond song.   Keep your fingers crossed.
