Can’t see this being much of a comeback, but hey ho.
February 18, 2021 at 9:26 am #99417DannyBikerParticipantYeah, it’s something but not something really exciting. But who knows.
I guess we can expect Elfman’s writing the titles and perhaps a few cues or episodes but I imagine a more limited budget could also lead to a “cheaper” composer being hired.
September 19, 2021 at 9:15 pm #99649ddddeeeeParticipantShooting from Oct to Feb.
Seems like it could fit nicely in Elfman’s schedule (I’m assuming this will be a Halloween release), but I imagine the best we’d get is some themes from Elfman, or maybe him scoring the first episode at a push.
November 16, 2021 at 7:49 pm #99664ddddeeeeParticipantI was listening to an Elfman interview with Chris Hardwick and he mentioned that Burton was sending him pics from the set in Romania.
December 19, 2021 at 1:52 pm #99671ddddeeeeParticipantElfman is writing the theme and co-scoring the series with Chris Bacon.
May 14, 2022 at 7:55 pm #99750ddddeeeeParticipant‘I’m just trying to finish up the second episode out of four with Tim’.
Burton was previously reported to have directed all the episodes.
August 17, 2022 at 3:16 pm #99800ddddeeeeParticipantLooks better than I was expecting to be fair.
August 18, 2022 at 8:47 am #99801DannyBikerParticipantI guess it looks more promising that I would have thought but I’m still not sold. I wonder how much Burton/Elfman will actually be involved if the show is picked up for a second season (if at all).
August 19, 2022 at 10:38 am #99802ddddeeeeParticipantIt’s doing really big numbers and the reaction seems very positive. I can see this being a big hit.
Maybe this being a hit would persuade Netflix to fund a passion project for Burton? I dunno. His career is in a really weird place.
August 22, 2022 at 2:32 pm #99803DannyBikerParticipantAt this stage, I don’t think I’d even be excited by a Burton “passion” project. I wonder if he even has some left… 😀
I had high hopes for Big Eyes for instance, and it turned out to be just ok. I really feel that he gave all he got in the 90s.November 12, 2022 at 12:56 pm #99823ddddeeeeParticipantNovember 14, 2022 at 12:45 pm #99827DannyBikerParticipantWell. That’s Danny Elfman sounding for sure. Even a bit too much for my liking.
That being said, I like that the he plays around the “idea” of the Addams Family theme, without actually quoting it.- This reply was modified 2 years ago by DannyBiker.
November 24, 2022 at 2:53 pm #99837Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterThe album is now available to stream. When it appeared on Spotify yesterday all tracks but the main titles were credited to Elfman & Bacon, but today I see they must have revised the credits as there are now some tracks credited to Elfman only, just under 15 mins worth.
November 24, 2022 at 9:06 pm #99838ddddeeeeParticipantElfman is credited as main composer for episode 1 and co-composer for episodes 2, 3 and 4.
November 26, 2022 at 10:17 pm #99843ddddeeeeParticipantI’m enjoying this! Nothing ground-breaking, but it’s good fun. Ortega is kinda incredible in it.
November 29, 2022 at 9:01 pm #99846ddddeeeeParticipantNetflix’s biggest premiere ever….
If it wasn’t already (it was), this has got to go down as Elfman’s biggest year.
Strange to see something Burton made be so embraced. It’s really become quite a phenomenon.
November 30, 2022 at 12:22 pm #99849DannyBikerParticipantReally ? I didn’t see much about it on Twitter, I thought it went unnoticed. I’m still not sure if I’d give it a try though, it looks so uninspiring…
November 30, 2022 at 10:20 pm #99850Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterI think WEDNESDAY is trending with the Tiktok generation. They’re not on Twitter 😂
December 1, 2022 at 7:58 am #99851DannyBikerParticipantWell I saw some commenters mentioning that the show sometimes feels like it was written by an IA to please the target streaming audience, so it makes sense I guess… 😀
July 12, 2023 at 7:38 pm #99969ddddeeeeParticipantElfman got two Emmy nominations today. One for the Main Title and one shared with Chris Bacon for the second episode.
I’m glad that they submitted the second episode. The score for the first episode is the best, but it’s the only one that Chris Bacon doesn’t have a ‘Music By’ credit on. I figured they would’ve went for that episode just because Elfman’s a big name. It’s right that, if they were going to get a nomination, it was together.
Burton got a director nomination, too.
July 17, 2023 at 8:51 pm #99971ddddeeeeParticipantJanuary 6, 2024 at 11:54 am #100026ddddeeeeParticipantI wonder if Elfman’s hoping that he doesn’t win with either of his nominations tonight.
January 7, 2024 at 4:59 am #100027Descent Into MysteryParticipantDanny Elfman won two Emmys for the show. Chris Bacon got one.
January 7, 2024 at 10:29 am #100028ddddeeeeParticipantElfman won for the title theme but The White Lotus won for original score. Lots of websites are incorrectly reporting that Elfman/Bacon won that. Maybe they got confused upon hearing that Elfman won.
April 23, 2024 at 7:36 pm #100084ddddeeeeParticipantBurton is in Dublin to start filming season 2.
