Elfman Writing Score For “Terminator: Salvation”
Composer Danny Elfman told MTV News that he is working on the musical score for McG’s upcoming “Terminator: Salvation.”
“I just started yesterday†said Elfman who indicated the original “Terminator†theme by composer Brad Fiedel was not in use yet - “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.â€
Elfman did say that a track the film’s star hip-hop artist Common will be included. Common plays a freedom fighter who battles Skynet alongside John Connor in the film.

You know, if you slightly adapt the Simpson’s theme, drop in some heavy percussion instead of brass, Yeah, I can just hear it - T4 “Homer”-Style!
Every time I see this headline, my brain instantly jumps to Family Guy: Blue Harvest; the scene where Chris/Luke stumbles across the remains of John Williams.
His exclaimation of terror when they bring in Danny Elfman is priceless!
