McG, the single-named director responsible for such works of art as We Are Marshall and the Offspring's "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" video, kind of has a history of convincing respected, weird people to take on bullshit commercial projects. He is, after all, the guy who convinced Crispin Glover to appear in both Charlie's Angels movies. But can he convince Thom Yorke to make music for the Terminator Salvation soundtrack? McG, for one, thinks that maybe he can. The forthcoming fourth installment in the Terminator movie series already features a score from former Oingo Boingo frontman Danny Elfman, as MTV reports. But according to the Playlist, McG told an audience at the New York Comic Con last weekend that the score could use a little something extra. So McG has been talking with Yorke about the possibility of setting the Radiohead frontman up with Gustavo Santaolalla, the Argentinian composer who wrote the scores for movies like Amores Perros and Brokeback Mountain. According to the Playlist, McG had this to say: "We talked about Gustavo getting together with Thom Yorke from Radiohead, which I thought would be very interesting. And they may still do a couple of sounds for the movie." A "couple of sounds." Right. Admittedly, Terminator Salvation does look pretty badass in a Reign of Fire sort of way, discussed-to-death Christian Bale temper tantrum notwithstanding. It should, at least, have an easy time besting the utterly godawful Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, quite possibly the worst big-budget sequel ever made. And Yorke did show a nearly unprecedented tolerance for lame shit when Radiohead performed at last weekend's endless Grammy Awards ceremony. According to a Radiohead rep, this is all just a rumor. In other words: no, it's not going to happen.
