Imagine Dragons are collaborating with director Michael Bay, film composer Steve Jablonsky and Paramount Pictures for Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Following an early screening of the film, Imagine Dragons wrote original song Battle Cry which is used in critical points in the film. The band contributed original music during the scoring process by recording cues with Jablonsky and Hans Zimmer who assisted.
