    Was Steve Jablonsky still working under Hans roof as an employee? How did Hans get involved with this score. Was it Steve asking for help or did Michael Bay go to Hans himself?

    • Tom May 15, 2025 at 2:31 pm - Reply

      Michael Bay always goes to Hans…lol. Plus Hans has a history with this franchise.

    • An0n May 15, 2025 at 5:05 pm - Reply

      Bay’s movies almost always have such a variety of composers/additional music

      I really wonder is there a challenge of how many people can Mike drag into one movie?)…

      Is this an ADHD thing?…

    Steve has posted Age of Extinction and DOTM in a separate YouTube channel where you can listen the official albums.

    Eventually, they will available in others platforms, YouTube only have the video versions for the moment.

      Releases August 9th, same day as the movie.

      Is this his official channel? Looks unofficial to me…

      It’s the only one with his name.

    Is "The Legend Exists" actually in the movie? I was listening to the OST, and was completely thrown off by this track after I'd initially first heard the FYC. Considering the Academy's rules, it wouldn't surprise me much if it was removed for being too based on a pre-existing arrangement (being a take on "Arrival to Earth" and all).

    • An0n July 29, 2024 at 12:57 pm - Reply

      FYC policy is a bit weird…

      Why they always have “edited for movie” cues, not original recordings?

    • Ian July 29, 2024 at 10:20 pm - Reply

      Because they judge the film edit, not original recordings

    • An0n July 30, 2024 at 4:18 am - Reply

      Okay

      But in this particular case, why “7m71D End Fight With Lockdown” doesn’t have vocals?
      All previous Imagine Dragons cues in FYC had them, but this one doesn’t
