Ramin Djawadi, best known for composing score for blockbusters such as Iron Man, Clash of Titans and TV series Game of Thrones has recently teamed up with Filipino actor/director and Philippine senator Ramon Revilla Jr to score the upcoming fantasy film Ang Panday 3. Revilla said that collaboration is the first of its kind in a Filipino mainstream movie in no less than a huge blockbuster film. He hopes that Filipino directors will soon follow this trend. When asked why Revilla chose to hire Djawadi, Revilla said "When doing Panday 2, we're actually using temp music from Clash of the Titans and now instead of just copying the creature design of that movie, we tried to import the composer itself". Other Hollywood composers that the Panday 3 production team has considered were Tyler Bates ("300", "Watchmen"), James Newton Howard ("The Hunger Games") and Alan Silvestri ("Captain America").
Djawadi said he was honored to work with Revilla and that he hopes that Panday 3 will delight the audience with its state-of-the-art special effects. He said that he will try to incorporate unique Filipino sounds when making the score to help sell the story. In 2010, Taiwan-born composer Albert Chang scored the movie "Rosario" from Filipino actor/director Albert Martinez.
Ang Panday 3 is the third film in the Panday series and has always been one of the top grossers of the year in the Philippines. Panday 3 will be released on December 2012 as part of the annual Metro Manila Film Festival.
