Got News?

They are helping to write the score for the movie, sound effects for music basically.

 

I wonder if it will be throughout the film or Steve Jablonsky will do the score and then have one or a ouple songs with Linkin Park IN them? hmmm, I just got even more excited for Revenge Of The Fallen

 

Hmm...LP has said that their new album will be a concept album, and that it will be unique in the manner in which it's released. A new album serving as the score to a movie would fill both of those criteria, but this movie comes out in a little over 2 months, so that pretty much rules it out, with LP already saying that their album won't be out until next year.

I'd anticipate that LP's contribution will probably amount to a bunch of instrumental interludes for use in the film itself, and perhaps one new song for the soundtrack.

 

I'm thinking something along the line of what they did in CSI, only this time probably with a brand new song.

 

To clear things up:
FROM MIKESHINODA.COM

BREAKING NEWS: Linkin Park will be working on the score for Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen.

Although I wasn't at liberty to say it before, the song I've been referencing here on mikeshinoda.com in the past few weeks...is actually being done for Michael Bay's new Transformers film, due out June 24th.

In addition--and probably ever cooler--we have been offered the unique opportunity to help score the film. The song we wrote is being used as one of the themes, and we will be writing various interpolations on that theme, and trying out some other thematic ideas as part of the (very large) team scoring the film.
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.

Michael Bay has shown us select scenes from the film, and it looks incredible. I can't wait for you to see it.

 

So basically, we're getting a new song?

At least we better.

 

It's pretty much exactly what I predicted it was.

 

holy fuck! new Linkin Park song(s) and they're working with mother-effing HANS ZIMMER! I honestly think I felt 'it' move

 

Hell Yeah! LP is doing it B I G!

 

this is really awesome. Amazing. New LP is great.

I wonder if they'll release any more songs like this, it would be interesting and would go with them saying the thing about a concept album and the way it's released. Is this song going to be on the album? Probably not..

 

I'd say no with about a 98% probability.

 

Posted in the news section. Thanks!!

 

Maybe like a B-Side or a Bonus Track.

 

Hahaha, that looks pretty fun.

 

I actually thought that this was going to be about them sampling noises made with the balloons or something
