SciFi Wire posted a brief interview with longtime J.J. Abrams collaborator and new Star Trek movie composer Michael Giacchino, in which he says he will use Alexander Courage TOS theme in his score for the movie. Here are a few excerpts from the interview.
"I think that the thing to do would be to hold on to the only thing that does speak-that says Star Trek-universally, which is the [opening theme from the original series]," Giacchino said
Giacchino also revealed a few details about the top-secret film's plot and how the theme music fits in. "To me, that fanfare, boom, that says it all right there," he said. "And this film is about everything that came before that. So, yes, I want to keep that. But everything that was done after that, it shouldn't be about that. It needs to be about these characters now and how they met and all of these things. So it's a very kind of specific place and time."
"I grew up listening to all of that great [Trek] music, and that's part of what inspired me to do what I'm doing," Giacchino said.
