For the first Transformers movie Linkin Park wrote the theme song titled, “What I’ve Done.”  Well it seems that, according to the official blog of Mike Shinoda, the band is not only coming back to write the theme song for Transformers 2, but also score the film with Hans Zimmer.

BREAKING NEWS: Linkin Park will be working on the score for Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen.

Although I wasn’t at liberty to say it before, the song I’ve been referencing here on mikeshinoda.com in the past few weeks…is actually being done for Michael Bay’s new Transformers film, due out June 24th.

In addition–and probably ever cooler–we have been offered the unique opportunity to help score the film. The song we wrote is being used as one of the themes, and we will be writing various interpolations on that theme, and trying out some other thematic ideas as part of the (very large) team scoring the film.

My bandmates and I are working with award-winning film composer (and resident ass-kicker) Hans Zimmer. We met with Hans last week, and heard some of the incredible things he and his guys have done with our new song. In the next few days, we’ll be doing some work with Hans’ amazing writing and recording crew.

Michael Bay has shown us select scenes from the film, and it looks incredible. I can’t wait for you to see it.

Be interesting to see what comes out of this.  Linkin Park usually does some good work.  I like the song that was used on the Crank 2 trailer.  Here’s the Transformers theme I mentioned above, but done in Mario Paint.  They should score the whole Transformers 2 film in Mario Paint.
