Danny Elfman Scoring ‘Terminator: Salvation’

Brad Fiedel. Â  Marco Beltrami. Â  Danny Elfman. Â  What do they all have in common? Â  They’ve all now scored a ‘Terminator’ film, as it was reported by MTV on Friday that Elfman would be pulling scoring duty on ‘Terminator: Salvation’.

“I just started yesterday,† Elfman told MTV News from the red carpet of the Critics’ Choice Awards.

Elfman, who has been nominated for Academy Awards for his scores on ‘Men in Black’, ‘Good Will Hunting’, and ‘Big Fish’, said that he had not yet incorporated the original ‘Terminator’ theme into the score yet. Â  He also explained that there was no mandate for him to do so.

“I think if it comes up and it seems appropriate, we will [use it],† Elman said. “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.†

It was also reported last month that the ‘Terminator: Salvation’ soundtrack would include an original song by the film’s co-star, Common.

What do you think? Â  Is Elfman a good choice for the ‘Terminator: Salvation’ score? Â  Should the original ‘Terminator’ theme be included? Â  Does this seem less and less like a ‘Terminator’ film with each passing day? Â  Let us know by commenting below!
