The New Movie Soundtrack?

Oniri · 07-13-2010, 04:31 AM

If there is anything that everyone can agree on, all four the previous TMNT movie had awesome soundtracks. So, I got curious about to two things:

1) what type of music would you like to hear in the new movie?

2) Every TMNT movie have a TMNT plot-recap-ish them song (For example: "Turtle Power" , "Ninja Rap" and "Turtle Jam"). What artist would you like to do theme for the new movie?

I don't really have my own answers to these questions. I do know that my favorite tunes from the movies were "Tarzan Boy" and "Let The Walls Come Down" , so I think it would be kinda nostalgic to have either a tune from one of the older movies reappear or the use of another popular 80's song.

I dont know what they are planing for soundtrack,... but IMO it must be something new , very New...(Ninja Rap sounds very old to me ....LOL) ...maybe a small tune with the nostalgic tone of Original Toon just enough to recognise it!! in credits .... just like a twinkle to the oldest fans ....

No idea. Guess we will have to wait and see what the music will be. But would be cool to have Turtle Power in the soundtrack just for the memories.

The film needs a proper score. Something along the lines of Amon Tobin's Splinter Cell stuff would be good.

As for a recap song...? In an ideal world Daft Punk would do a cover of the Partners in Kryme 'Turtle Power' song.

A dial tone, perhaps?

T-Pain. Seriously.

That gave me a laugh.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. I was thinking that maybe incorporating real Japanese music would be really cool. I agree that it needs a true and proper score. The thing that bugged me about the first three movies was that it had that electronic sound that didn't age too well. The fourth was trying too hard to be cool. But that's just my opinion.

Deffinately not Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship or any of that other dick dragging bullsh!t from TMNT in 2007. I will do the theme.

Now that I think about , there was an awful lot of emo hipster punk rockish things in the 2007 TMNT movie huh? I think they were trying a little too hard to attract the younger teens. A bit weird, but it could have been worst. I've heard some god awful soundtracks in my day.

I tend to judge by at least having two or three songs that fit the mood of their scene and you can tap you foot to. That was one of my issues with The Watchman movie. I felt like the soundtrack was really randomly placed. You can argue for a few of the songs and some of them were classic/catchy, but I mostly felt like I was watching a movie on mute while having some dude's itunes on shuffle.

The 2007 soundtrack was barely a step up from being a sampler of artists signed to the Warner Bros. label.

I think since it's a reboot they need to ditch the hip hop crap and stick to a score. No rap song recaps, no guest rapper cameos, none of it. Just score. Putting songs in your movie like that just helps to date it.

Hear, hear! I couldn't agree more.

You make a good point. I never thought of it that way but it totally makes sense.

I couldn't agree more with you.

Something akin to the soundtrack of Kick-Ass is ideal for myself.

So you want the movie to have no score at all and instead rely completely on music created by bands? Basically you want the movie to be a 90+ minute music video.

Exactly! Hopefully they may be able to get Giacchino or Zimmer to write the score, but that depends on what kind of storyline they plan on going with, and either making it sort of dramatic, humor throughout, or a mix. It'd also be nice to have more than one or two motifs going on, rather than putting variations on them or changing up the instrumentation. I guess all we can do is keep our fingers crossed (even though the project won't be recorded until late 2011).

In regards to a having a rap song recorded or whatever...possible, but that'll depend on the producers i guess. As much as I love films with score only, maybe one or two normal songs would suffice (like the Simpsons movie with Greenday, or Kung Fu Panda with Jack Black, etc.)

I might be the only one who feels this way but I would love to see Katy Perry do a Ninja Turtle song.

You're deffinately alone in that one, I'd say. Maybe I could say the same of the Wu-Tang Clan. That, I'd love.
