Star Trek Keeps Its Theme

By Ryan 'The Rican with the Irish name' McLelland on November 1, 2007

Michael Giachhino is the man scoring the upcoming Star Trek film and the composer talked with Sci-Fi Wire to reveal some juicy tidbits.

"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 on the theme.

About the plot and how the 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."

On working with J.J. Abrams, who Giaacchino worked with on Alias and Lost, "I love working with J.J., and I know that he'll make it something special, so I have no doubt that there'll be something there that'll inspire me.  I don't know what it's going to be, so I still have that anticipation about it."
