Danny Elfman
The site caught up with Elfman at the Critics Choice Awards and, while he did say that the original theme by Brad Fiedel hasn't been set in place yet, he did say there was a possibility for its inclusion in the film.
"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."
The composer only had one word to describe the film, after recently seeing a screening of Terminator Salvation: "Exciting."
Terminator Salvation is set for release on May 22.
Terminator Salvation was released May 21st, 2009 and stars Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Moon Bloodgood, Helena Bonham Carter, Anton Yelchin, Jadagrace, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common. The film is directed by McG.

I agree with the Feidel call..
Elfman though, is a master. Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Men In Black....the list goes so deep it's not even funny. Let's not forget Psycho, Red Dragon, Darkman, The Spider-man movies, Mission: Impossible...!!!

Danny Elfman famously composed the classic movie theme for 1989's Batman.....and every Tim Burton film after that...I really think that Danny deserves an Oscar Nod for Best Original Song: "The Little Things" ... Love that song from "Wanted"!
BUT NOTHING AGAINST Danny, But I really think the studios behind the new "Terminator" film should bring back the guy who scored for the original "Terminator" film.... Brad Fiedel, he also did the score for "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"!!
So he knows what he is doing and familiar with the material!

I would like to see Hans Zimmer do the music.

I love Elfman as much as the next person, in fact judging by the signed photo I have hanging above my piano probably more, but it'sbeen a while since he wrote a great score so I really hope he can turn one out for this.

I like Elfman, but his scores are so easily identified. I mean to me they all kind of sound the same in just about every movie he has scored. I would have liked to see John Williams (ha, yeah right) or Marco Beltrami.

I don't care about some f*ckin jazz. I hate jazz. this is about TERMINator! Just because you make music, which isn't great, doesn't mean you deserve an oscar. I'd rather have John Carpenter compose this than him.

I agree, that danny elfman is a great composer. i think most people think of his relationship with burton and that his compositions are as quirky as burtons film, but it is a beautiful match. As far as something of a more serious material, i seriously think people have under rated him that he has been able to pull off compositions that blend emotion, rage, and action... all the things that make a terminator film, and as far as the theme, i think he can pull it off, or at the least reinvent it and make it better.

Zombie, either you can't read or you got the wrong script, amigo. I'm betting on the first one. You idiot, Bale is in a lot more than 15mins. Nough said.

Don't be f*cking retards. Elfman is the greatest composer alive. He's done films I gauruntee you didn't even realize was him. Good Will Hunting anyone? This is the best guy for the job.
I just can't wait until you all see how much Bale ISNT in this movie. He's got maybe 15 minutes in it. Someone has a script. :)

Elfman is a clever guy, he should be able to tackle this no problem. I'm sure he will incorporate the original theme in some genius way.

He's good.
As someone who doesn't avidly follow the Terminator series, and who's only seen each film once or twice, I could care less if the incorporate the Terminator theme. If it fits, put it in. If it doesn't, don't stretch it.
