Heh. The danger of using bands like Linkin Park is that they're so
'Now' that the movie will date pretty quickly as a result :) Imagine
if Ridley Scott used Tears for Fears on the soundtrack to Bladerunner
(!). While Vangelis is very 1980s, at least he had some kind of
timeless integrity art thing.

So I reckon if the soundtrack should be done by someone like Clint
Mansall (formerly of Pop Will Eat Itself - did the soundtrack for Pi
and Requiem for a Dream) or Autechre [Pick up a copy of 'Amber' OMG'
or Meat Beat Manifesto [see Subliminal Sandwhich] or Neotropic [Mr
Brubackers...]. Even Trent Reznor would be an interesting choice.
Dark electronic soundscapes... sounds like Shadowrun to me ;-)

If it had to be a rock/metal soundtrack, I'd go with Korn, System of
a Down, Skinny Puppy, Mr Bungle, Metallica [of course], the Deftones,
Fear Factory, Tom Waits, and the Tea Party. :)

What about the rest of the merchandising? What do you wanna see?

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror,
murder, and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da
Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love -
they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce?
