Clint Mansell to score Mass Effect 3

"Clint Mansell, composer of such classic motion picture scores as 'The Fountain' and 'Requiem For a Dream' dropped the news that he is writing the musical score for the last chapter in BioWare's epic Mass Effect trilogy in an interview with The Quietus about his latest film, 'Black Swan'.

The website Badass Digest picked up on the news of Mansell's involvement in Mass Effect 3, which saw the composer asked about whether he does much work for other outlets like computer games. Mansell responded by saying: "I'm doing a video game this year actually. Mass Effect 3"."

Awesome game will be even more awesome!

The game just got even more awesomer.

No more Jack Wall?

Didn't read the article D:

I like The Fountain OST and his work on Pi was pretty good. But I'd rather have John Murphy (Sunshine! 28 Days Later!) instead of him.

Or even better, Jack Wall and Sam Hulick :/

Only reason I care is because he scored the Moon soundtrack. AAllxxjjnn

And Requiem, The Fountain, and Black Swan. The man is a legend.

I doubt Clint's gonna score the whole thing, guessing both of them will work on it.

Requiem for a Dream had an epic soundtrack. Great choice for a composer this guy is GOOD. Cant wait for this game!!

Requiem of a Dream Soundtrack is a superb piece of work. I also loved Black Swan soundtrack.
.
This is fantastic news. ME3 can't come soon enough.

Considering how epic "Requiem for a Dream" is, Mass Effect 3 just a lot more awesome.

The Fountain OST was amazing! Clint Mansell is one of the best,

Very cool. I love that one song in Requiem for a Dream. You know. The one everyone likes. That one. I thought Mass Effect had cool music already. Who composed the other two?Not-A-Stalker

Your thinking of Lux Aterna.

Atelast im assuming. It was used in a ton of trailers back in the day like Lord of the Rings.

That's awesome. I just hope the music keeps the Mass Effect feel.

This ^ It's honestly my favorite. death is the road to awe :$

That's amazing. Somebody on the Mass Effect 3 PC board totally called it a few weeks back I think.

But I liked his work on Moon and the Fountain. I like that we're getting big name composers these days.

What was wrong with the original guy?

Not that Clint Mansell isnt great or anything just curious.

Ugh stop getting my excited for Mass Effect 3, it's still waaaay too far away to think about...

Who am I kidding, CLINT MANSELL!? AWESOME :D

Good stuff, his Moon soundtrack showed he can do sci-fi fantastically. Though I hope the guy who scored the last 2 (Wall?) continues to have an input too.

:D 'Twill be awesome

110million

I mean I hope the music is similar. :P

And here I thought the Mass Effect 2 music was good; the music for ME3 will be leaps-and-bounds better now, I can't wait! :o

Wait a second, who did the score for ME1 and 2? I kind of preferred ME1's score so I'm kind of wondering if it was different people for even the first two before they announced this guy for the finale.

Well it's just a guess. It would be lame of Bioware to take Wall out for the last part of a trilogy when he worked and did a great job with the first 2.

Awesome. Loved his work on Moon (really underrated movie btw).

Jack Wall.

So Jack Wall did both games, huh? Let's see how the movie guy performs in comparison to him then. ME1 had a boss soundtrack, so did ME2 of course, but there was something about ME1's score.

Granted, I still prefer Halo 1's score to the newer Halo scores so it could just be that first time hearing something new feeling. :P

Awesome. Loved his work on Moon (really underrated movie btw).

but there was something about ME1's score.NeonNinja

They better not be replacing Jack Wall. :x

this is going to be disappointing if Jack Wall doesn't get to do anything, while clint mansell has done good in movies, i feel like jack wall is a better fit for mass effect. I like both mass effect ost more than i do anything that clint mansell has done...

the requiem for a dream guy?! SCHWEET! this guy is almost as epic as john williams...

Amazing news, I really love Clint's work.

That song for requiem for a dream is awesome. Doubt he will top it for a video game, but something near as epic would be cool.

Edit: Lux Aterna or something I think it is. I remember trying to recreate it in some music program at school.

I loved Jack Wall but...it's mother******* Clint Mansell! The only thing more awesome would be if he worked with reznor again! :o

I absolutely love all of Darren Aronofskys films and I remember when I watched Requim for a Dream for the first time, and the soundtrack was just absolutely totally awe inspiring, although thesedays it is a little overdone on youtube. Mansell is a very talented composer, and this makes me 100X more exited for the third installment of ME.

Lux Aeterna is in so much crap that it was played well beyond what it needed and I am incredibly sick of it.

Oh my god this is going to be immense.
