Ugh... *sighs* ... How am I gonna put this without sounding like a complete asshole... bleah, I can't. I'll just say it.
I've lost count with how many times you've posted something and you clearly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. George Lucas didn't create the orchestrated music for Star Wars, John Williams did. George Lucas was trying to avoid the use of electronic music which was used heavily in other kinds of SciFi movies. Also, other movies at the time had disco music, hip-hop came later and it's use in movies came MUCH later.
Orchestrated music isn't used to convey an other worldly feel, it can be, but not exclusively for that purpose when it comes to SciFi. It is used to legitimise the genre. But in all honesty, I don't expect the live action Transformers movie to be completely orchestrated. I do expect to hear some kind of electronic music mixed in as well.
This mix of orchestrated and electronic has been done before, and done very well. If it came down to it, this is how I'd love to hear the movie because it mixes that oldskool 80s feel with a more timeless feel that orchestrated music can provide.
Those 80s rock tracks did work for the animated Transformers movie and we'll never forget them. The music and the movie itself is bloody awesome, but this new live action movie is taking the Transformers in a completely new direction and I don't believe that they'll be able to get away with trying to achieve the same result with today's rock music.
I really do hope they avoid putting in rock music. I really do. I don't have much faith that the movie will turn out THAT great in the first place though lol.
