Muse010Recently we told you about how super group, Muse is working on the soundtrack to "Clash of The Titans". Well, turns out it wasn't so!

Director, Louis Leterrier revealed to MTV that he wasn't exactly talking about the band themselves but more along the lines of just front-man Matt Bellamy doing it solo.

“It was not Muse ever. It was Matt Bellamy. I love Muse, I’m the biggest Muse fan ever, but I wanted something a little different. Matt wrote a lot of stuff, but he started his tour. So not so long ago, he called me and he was like ‘Louis, I’m so sorry. I have to be respectful to my audience and professional and I have to stop on Clash.’”

Leterrier had intended to for the rocker to work with composer Craig Armstrong on a half hour of music for the March 26th film release. However, instead Neil Davidge from Massive Attack will now be taking on the reigns for the movie. “Craig Armstrong is still doing the score and I called my friend Neil Davidge from Massive Attack to replace Matt for the areas that Matt was doing. So it’ll be Craig Armstrong and Massive Attack, which is pretty exciting.”

Despite the letdown, Leterrier still considers himself a huge fan of Matt's work and is interested in working together sometime down the road. “On my computer I’ve got great Matt Bellamy stuff, It’s like a rain check, like let’s do something later.”

Speaking of these guys, the trio's new video for "Resistance" premiered on all music networks yesterday January 14th and is part of Muse's latest album bearing the same name. The vid was directed by Wayne Isham and allows everyone to take a gander at the band's energetic live shows. "Resistance" has hit number three on the Billboard Hot 200 since its September 2009 release.

In case you missed the premiere, here's the video below!
