Danny Elfman writing Fable theme

Already famous for his soundtrack work on film and television, composer Danny Elfman is now expanding into games. Microsoft Game Studios has announced that the creator of the Spider-Man, Batman, and The Simpsons themes will write the title song for the Xbox-exclusive role-playing game Fable. According to MGS, Elfman personally selected the orchestra to record the Fable theme in full 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound. Developed by UK-based Big Blue Box and Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios, Fable is perhaps 2004's most-anticipated role-playing game. Like in Knights of the Old Republic, the actions players take will lead them down different narrative paths. However, in Fable, the effects of players' actions will be far greater.
