AEROSMITH recently recorded a new version of the song 'Legendary Child'. Originally written during the sessions for the band's album, Get A Grip, the track will now be included on the soundtrack for the upcoming movie GI Joe: Retaliation, which hits theaters on June 29th. The new version of the song could possibly appear on Aerosmith's new studio album, out later this year.

Frontman Steven Tyler says the band has produced the perfect song for the G.I. Joe: Retaliation movie soundtrack.

He told ABC News Radio: "G.I. Joe is about deep space and 'let's go fight the foe.' And then I thought about where the band came from, and going into the music business. If there ever... was a foe, the music business was. So to be successful you had to learn how to climb ladders, jump through hoops and live through burning houses."

Tyler also discussed the upcoming video for the track, which he says took 12 hours to film. "It's gonna be slammin'. Joe (Perry, guitar) was on fire. Wait, you'll see."

Aerosmith is working with their long-time producer Jack Douglas, who worked on such classic Aerosmith albums as 1974's Get Your Wings, 1975's Toys In The Attic and 1976's Rocks, as well as the band's 2004 collection of blues standards, Honkin' On Bobo. The album is tentatively due out in September and some song titles include: 'Legendary Child', 'Beautiful' and 'Out Go The Lights'.

Tyler revealed in a Twitter post last week that the band was set to start filming a new video with Casey Patrick Tebo, who also is directing a new concert film titled Aerosmith: Rock For The Rising Sun. According to Tebo’s official website, the movie will focus on the band’s relationship with its Japanese fans, and is expected to be released later this year or in 2013.
