Yes.

Is this the same producer who gave that quote from the Cannes screening?

Burn it down by Linking Park as part of the rocking score described in the interview would be awesome.  If it sounds anything like DROKK...then oh! dear!

[radiator]

He said 'contemporary', not 'dated, tedious nu-metal cack'.

If this is the song you mean, then sorry but it would be more at home on an episode of 90210 or One Tree Hill than a Dredd movie.

wasnt that track played over the credits of the last Dredd film

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

Linking Park would ruin this film completely.

I like the sound of Drokk too, sounded a lot like early John Carpenter soundtracks.

[DeFuzzed]

Gotta agree with radiator - that reminds me too much of Robert Miles and Sash.

[DeFuzzed]

Just listened to DROKK, lawmaster/pursuit one, and I don't like that either - too TRONesque.

Drokk are shite..sorry

DROKK is an album, not a band.

While it took a little time to grow on me, I actually think its kinda brilliant, would've really suited the tone of the film DREDD is going to be. It reminds me of the best recent movie soundtracks, such as Attack the Block, Sunshine, Drive and, yes, Tron: Legacy.

And yes the bloke in the linked interview is Stuart Ford, the same guy behind the Cannes quotes. While he is obviously going to say positive things about the film (his company paid for it), he at least seems to know exactly what he's talking about. Deadpan' is a good choice of word to describe Dredd - and he seems to understand the whole appeal of the character - he may not be 'likable', but there's no one you'd rather have on your side in a tight spot.

To quote Geoff Barrow of DROKK; you either get it or you don't. You don't.

It's definitely not 'shite'. I don't know if it would be right for the film though, as it certainly wears it's retro influences on it's sleeve. I suspect we'll be hearing a much more modern sounding electronic soundtrack.

For the love of grud, please, no heavy metal. Especially not Anthrax or Linkin (I don't like them but at least I can spell their name) Park.

Why is it that when you bugger up a quote and a comment , the modify button isn't there. One of lifes little mysteries...

Yeah, that's really annoying. My spleling is always crap the first time round.

What about Cliff Martinez? That Drive soundtrack was arsom

[radiator]

It all depends on the tone they are going for -for a more humorous, Bisley-styled cgi-heavy, Sin City/300 take on the character a rock soundtrack would probably work quite well - but for the type of film they have actually made, ambient/moody electronica seems by far the best fit IMO.
