“I think if it comes up and it seems appropriate, we will [use it],” Elfman 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.”
That's not exactly the philosophical take on scoring a movie I normally enjoy-- Like from Hans Zimmer for example. Elfman is a fine composer, a really gifted man. His many themes have been iconic. However I'm not sure he's the right man to score a Terminator movie. I understand this movie is going in a different direction, but after Brad Fiedel's magic with some gorgeous synthesizer and Bear McCreary's pounding and subtle strings in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Elfman may be a bit too much for the franchise. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm not necessarily disappointed about this decision, but I remain cautiously optimistic about the film's score until I hear it for myself.
Whatever happens, the original Terminator theme MUST be a part of the film somewhere. It's like a James Bond movie with the James Bond theme. You just don't break that kind of rule. It's as iconic as the movie itself.
