From DarkHorizons.com"Fatboy Slim has been signed on to write the soundtrack and title music for "Tomb Raider" according to The Z Review. An insider says "The film is very fast paced...and the soundtrack is going to have a house, trancey feel. It is a crucial element in the film's feel and marketing".

Come on, did you actually think they would make this movie mature and sophisticated? I knew they were going in the wrong direction just as soon as I heard Angelena Jolie was going to be in it. Not to mention the trailer looks cheesier than old socks.And whats a fatboy slim?

Tim, what's wrong with Angelina Jolie? She's perfect for the role - as ridiculous of a role it is. So, once again... I ask: what's wrong with her? Are you gay?Please keep in mind that I ask these questions in a very friendly, non-hostile tone.

Wow, I totally disagree. When I first heard she was doing the movie, I was a little concerned.But after seeing the trailer, I became very impressed. I thought she looked perfect. As for the Fatboy Slim score, I think it was an interesting choice. Kind of reminds me when Limp Bizkit did the MI-2 theme. I liked it so much that I thought it could have been used effectively throughout the entire movie. Tomb Raider is all about flash. So why can't the music be flash too? This isn't a serious movie, so I don't think it necessarily needs a serious score. It needs something fast, and IMO, something electronic is perfect.

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaack!Could this possibly be my first post in months? Hmmm....
Anyway, the Limp Biscut song was once again, Hollywood's excuse to cash in on a band. They took the theme, gave it a grunge/alternative/punkish kind of sound, and added lyrics that had nothing to do with the movie or show. Just goes to show how stupid the band really is, and how Hollywood continuously attempts to sell out to a preteen audience.
I am very ANTI Limp-Biscut simply because of their constant usage of the "F" word, and certain other derogative statements that I won't mention here. There is no talent or creativity in this.
As far as Tomb Raider....you won't be able to pay me enough to see this horrible concept. The games were pointless enough. The movie is going to be really REALY sad. But watch it be the "suprize" hit of the season, much in the way Mortal Dumbat was. Did you honestly expect a big hollywood sound? I'm suprized that they didn't get somebody like Moby or Type-O-Negative to score this thing.

Also, isn't her last name Croft (and not Craft)? Details, details...quote:

Honestly Tim, you've got me dumbfounded. I literally can not process what it takes to understand how any male of any age could or would consider Angelina Jolie unattractive. That's like saying the sky isn't blue.

PS - To everyone else: Tim and I aren't mad at each other (or at least, I'm not mad at him!) - I think we mutually quarrel every now and then just for the sake of it.

Oh. My. God.(Above words meant to be interpreted in a VERY, VERY negative way.)
My anticipation for this movie just dropped to almost nothing. Even the video game had an excellent, orchestral, action/adventure score; it was an integral part to the feel of it.
This just plain sucks.

I like Moby. I liked his Bond rendition.I like Limp Bizkit. I think they are one of the few bands around today that actually care about their fans.
I like Angelina Jolie. She's purty...

Who is Fatboy Slim? Anyways, Jolie is beautiful. Right up there in my top 15 with Sandra Bullock, Neve Campbell, and Caterine ZJ.

I especially like how Durst & Co. care so much about their fans that they allow them to crush themselves to death, and then say, "Oh, f*ck, man. We're so sorry about that girl getting crushed to death while we played (a song called) 'Break Stuff'".Moby is much better than just that Bond song.
