New project. He mentioned he’s currently working on it in this interview.

Bought by Netflix, who plan on releasing it later this year.
Brief interview with Elfman and Wright.
This is Elfman at his most Hermann mixed with Girl on the Train.
I wasn’t convinced at first, but I’m really starting to dig it. Kind of jarring to hear such old fashioned scoring mixed with modern sounds.
The mix in the film is terrific.
The movies that Elfman worked on at the beginning of his career have always been criticized. I watch the movie and thought it was fine. There’s no room for middle-of-the-road movies anymore, it seems. It’s either the greatest or the worst. And then it’s forgotten about.
Hoping for a soundtrack release. I quite liked what I heard.
I thought it was an absolute mess, but I had a decent enough time with it. I like bad thrillers. Loved Delbonnel’s cinematography.
Do Netflix normally wait before releasing a score? Could this be a sign that some other label has snagged it?
I really liked some of the weird vocal stuff. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by how weird a lot of the score is. Some really odd sounds mixed with a more traditional Herrmann-esque score. I thought it was quite distinct. Picked up on a main theme and a ‘watching people’ motif.
The music is really incessant in the movie. I imagine Elfman was tasked to add tension where there really wasn’t any.
Some clips from interviews from Wright and Elfman.
Was #TheWomaninTheWindow score raising your blood pressure while you watched? The film’s iconic composer Danny Elfman and director Joe Wright break down how the score was crafted and how it complemented the film. https://t.co/5XOfonXvgG
It’s not terribly interesting, dddeeee. It’s like a second-grade THE GIRL ON A TRAIN, IMO. But I do prefer it over most big blockbuster things he’s done in the last 15 years.
I like the score in the movie a lot – especially the lovely cue at the end.
It’s not as good as Girl on the Train, no, but that’s top tier Elfman for me.
I’ve been listening to a promo of this score for some time, and it doesn’t quite gel for me. Perhaps it will grow on me after repeated listenings, though. GIRL ON A TRAIN did.
Entire score uploaded here.
