Soundtrack Speculation (Composer, Songs, Godzilla Theme)

[Legion1979]

I love the classic Godzilla theme. So powerful. Ifukube was a fantastic composer. Excellent stuff.

I don't want it in this movie. Period.

Or, Hell, once Godzilla is named, they have a band come up with the song. Lil' retconning for the song, but hey, it'd work.

That's what I was thinking too. Sorta like what they did in Spider-Man.

My thoughts exactly.

Something like, "Blue Oyster Cult makes come-back with track titled after giant monster!" Or even something as simple as the band found an obscure Japanese monster legend, wrote a song about it, and subsequently Godzilla was named for it.

Now, I expect NEITHER of these, but these are just examples to make it work in the film.

[KaneLocke]

I, on the other hand, would like to hear it in the movie, even if it's just the end credits.

HOWEVER, I think that's the only way it would work. Ifukube's scores just don't jive with modern Hollywood blockbusters. They're too... dramatic? Melodramatic maybe? Whatever, I just can't see it working in a modern American big-budget film.

Godzilla's theme before the battle with the monster foe would be nice.

[Hellspawn28]

It would be cool, but very unlikely since the Transformers live action movies did not used the G1 theme song at all. I would like to see some type of remix or remake of the original theme similar what Brain Tyler did with AVPR.

[Hellspawn28]

I still hope they get Brian Tyler as the composer for the movie.

Godzilla's theme before the battle with the monster foe would be nice.

Like in Godzilla 2000.

Yep.

Also in the credits.

[Gorosaurus Rex]

Keep it subtle, I would much rather hear echoes from it then hear it blaring during the destruction scenes. It doesn't necessarily fit.

I want music like this:

Yuck. No thank you.

[ZigraDude]

It's not really necessary to have Godzilla's theme in the movie, but it would be a nice touch. It would probably work best at the end credits but I wouldn't mind if it played before Godzilla fights his main opponent. I like that idea.

[Gorosaurus Rex]

I like ES but yeah thats not their best track, nor does it really fit Godzilla.

[Hellspawn28]

I find it annoying when they used "Requiem for a Dream" for trailers now these days. RFAD is one of my all time favorite movies, and the sound track is amazing but I rather not see it in this movie.

Can agree with that. Love the song, but its incredibly overplayed.

[XxComablack1937xX]

Godzilla's main theme should be in this movie at-least once, was i the only one disappointed it wasn't in the 1998 movie?
I mean Godzilla have his theme, doesn't need to play every time he is on screen but i think before the final battle in the film Godzilla's theme should kick in when he approaches i honestly think that would be amazing.

[KaneLocke]

It's nice to see in fanmade music videos for something dark and emotional, but leave it out of the film, yeah. It's more a "tribute video" song than something I'd like to see in the movie.

[HeiseiGodzilla117]

^A very cliched tribute song. I've gotten tired of hearing it. So many youtube amv's with the same songs, RFAD, Linkin Park songs, and Breaking Benjamin songs.

[MechaJahgeezilla]

maybe have some old guy listening to classical music on the radio and this happens, then godzilla comes in and destroys the house

[omgitsgodzilla]

I'd like a similar motif, but not the theme itself. It would seem to much like HAY FANS LOL LOOK IFUKUBE R WE KOOL NAO? But something like the little lick in GMK that sounds a bit like the 1954 theme, but for the theme from KKvsG (DUUNNNN, dun dun dun dun DUNNNN...), now that would be cool.

[Jacob Kaiju X]

Not against the idea of it being used, and I do welcome the idea. However, I'm sure we probably get a more original score, though I'm sure the person who does the score might use a homage from Ifukube's Godzilla theme.
