Mike Patton to Score Crank 2

2008-12-11 by jingledeath | 21 Comments
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have set out to release the higly anticipated Crank 2: High Voltage in 2009. Not only did they hire Corey Haim for one of the most important supporting roles in the highly anticipated Jason Statham sequel, they have also nabbed legendary musician Mike Patton to score the entire soundtrack. Earlier today while conducting an exclusive interview with Danny DeVito for his upcoming film Nobel Son, the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star let it slip that his friend was currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on the music for the film.

DeVito didn't quite know how to describe the score, but did hint that there may be a song track that contains actual lyrics and singing by Patton. The former front man for both Mr. Bungle and Faith No More most recently headed down the road to scoring films with his work on the short A Perfect Place, and he recently contributed lyrics and vocals to the Marc Streitenfeld score for Ridley Scott's Body of Lies. Crank 2: High Voltage will be the musician's first foray into scoring an entire feature length film.

Patton has a busy year coming up. Not only will he be releasing the Crank 2: High Voltage score, he will also be releasing Mondo Cane, a record of Italian pop songs from the 50s and 60s and the first Crudo album, which sees him reteaming up with his Lovage sidekick Dan the Automator for some crazy hip-hop pop music.

the original crank was a fairly enjoyable, brainless romp

Nice.

On Statham, I think he needs to do a more serious role to combat all of his goofy action roles. He's shown he can have a dramtac side to him, even in the ridiculous films.This Message Edited On 12.11.08

If you're gonna make a stupid, brainless action movie, it should have interesting action scenes.
Crank didn't. Statham should stick to The Transporter or something else.

DeVito listening to Mr. Bungle is enough to laugh about.

A DeVito/Patton connection...craziness. Sweet that Patton's scoring this movie, not sweet that his first score will be for a flop of a film. Anything Jason Statham touches turns to shit. (May I direct anyone's attention to "Death Race"....?)This Message Edited On 12.11.08This Message Edited On 12.11.08

The fight scenes/choreography in Transporter >>>>>>> anything from Crank.
I don't remember anything from that film I hadn't seen in five other action movies, sans the editing/cinematography.

i'm actually surprised at the lack of comments stating that mike pattion is scoring this major hollywood film. i figured that was way more newsworthy than the fact they were making a sequel. that has potential for some really effed up music! in a good way
