Amazon.com lists the score for release on the 29th of May.
Danny is listed as the only artist so maybe they’ll have a score and a song album like with the first movie.
Can’t wait. First two scores were a lot of fun. Curious to see what he’ll do with the 60s plot in the film.
1. Men in Black 3 – Main Title
2. Spiky Bulba
3. The Set-Up
4. Headquarters
5. Regret
6. Wrong
7. Not Funny
8. Big Trouble
9. Out on a Limb
10. Time Jump
11. Bad Fortune
12. Forget Me Not
13. Goin’ Back or Into the Past
14. Griffin Steps Up
15. True Story
16. The Prize-Monocycles
17. Boris Meets Boris
18. Under the Bridge
19. The Mission Begins
20. Mission Accomplished
21. A Close One
22. Men in Black 3 – Main Title RevisitedIn a lengthy interview with Film School Rejects, Sonnenfeld discusses Elfman and the MIBIII soundtrack:
“[Jemaine Clement is] a really mean and great-looking villain. We learned from the second one and are back to have[ing] a really strong villain. In fact, Danny Elfman, who did the score on all three movies, is [a] huge Jemaine Clement fan and loves every moment of Flight of the Concords. The first time I showed him Men in Black III, he said, “That villain is fantastic. Who is he?” I said his name was Jemaine Clement, and he said “no way.” Danny Elfman not recognizing one of his musical idols was very satisfying.
“Danny did a fantastic job on the score, with it being reminiscent of the first movie, but also new and hip. Also, by going to 1969, it allowed me to have a lot of really great music from the era. However, some of the music I chose is not so much pop, but Velvet Underground, Cream, and a Rolling Stones I had never heard before called 2,000 Lightyears From Home, and it’s a fantastic song.”

Clip from a chase scene in the movie, features Elfman’s score.
Fantastic samples. Guitar – cooool.
I love this score.
This sounds glorious. A wonderful extension of the previous scores that, pleasantly, harkens back to the first more than to the second. I’m really liking the guitar over the more pronounced ostinato riff theme-the jazzy brass was more in focus in the sequel score-and I’m loving the reprise of the finale music from the first film in track 21. Certainly better then the 18 seconder of a finale we got in MIBII. All that from the samples! Another great addition to this Elfman renaissance (not that I ever thought anything was lacking, but anything that gets him in better standing in the film music world is great).
K theme galore, it’s given it’s longest workout yet in ‘Mission Accomplished’ and what I’m assuming is a theme for Boris, the villain.
The movie is getting surprisingly good reviews too. And Sonnenfeld “can’t wait” to do a forth.
I’ve only been through this score once, but other than ‘Mission Accomplished’, the other standout track for me has got to be ‘Time Jump’. (spoiler?

I loved the score. Elfman recycles a lot of material but he does a great job of giving it a lot of new variations. I really loved the use of the electric guitar.
A really fun film. Still nothing on the first, but certainly more obviously better than the second. Re-watched the first two last week (they’ve been on every channel, it seems) and the second was actually better than I remembered, but I think it was that I didn’t remember it that was the problem. A bit of temp-track love of cues from the first two films I think. There was a quick edit of the main titles from the first film at one point and the entire Logo cue from the second later on in the bowling alley. Obviously it’s those little things that get left out if one’s rushed for time. Considering how close together this and Dark Shadows must have come in Elfman’s schedule, these are really solid efforts in areas he’s pretty much explored to their fullest. Did anyone else spot Tim Burton on the alien display at MIB headquaters?
