According to its official website, “Charlotte’s Web” has been delayed until December 2006. Coincidentally, that is around the time that “Meet the Robinsons” is expected to open. Well, at least we get the IMAX film to tide us over.
Wow, big delay. I wonder how Danny will work with this.
It would be cool if he could squeeze in another feature film, I’m going to be really anxious to hear another action or thriller score from Danny over the next year.
It’s possible that this delay might not have any effect on the post production schedule. “Cars,” the upcoming Pixar film, was pushed from November 2005 to June 2006, but Randy Newman apparantly had the score in the can by September or October.
Of course, it is equally possible that the producers hate the current cut and are delaying the film in a desperate effort to save it.
Anything’s possible in Hollywood.
It might have to do with the fact that a kid’s fantasy based on a classic book would do better in the Christmas season rather than the over-crowded summertime where 12-year-old-boys rule the cultural taste!

Ehem, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Kid’s fantasy based on a classic book! That aside, this somewhat confirms my suspicion that the movie itself won’t be too good. I’m pretty sure Danny decided to do this just to fill his schedule and not have to do Spider-Man 3, but I wish he would have chosen a better movie. Meet the Robinsons looks like a good choice, though. But in the meantime, perhaps a small project will fill his time, like a video game, TV theme, or noticeable commercial? Or hanging out with Olliver, that’d be cool too.

I don’t think Danny needed an excuse not to score Spider-Man 3.

Sometimes you don’t know a movie is bad until it’s finished; not that I’m insinuating that it is. We’ll have to see.
I actually can’t wait for CHARLOTTE’S WEB. It will be a nice change and I think the movie will be sufficiently cute,

I hope this is a good film. If any children’s book is capable of inspiring a great film, it’s “Charlotte’s Web.”
The animated one from the seventies is good, but I think it’s time someone hit it out of the park, pardon the cliche.
I’d have more confidence in the movie if there was a more well-known and accomplished director on the project. We’ve got the guy from 13 Going On 30. If it was someone like Tim Burton or even Marc Forster, I’d be a bit more comforted. But seriously, imagine if Gary Winick had done “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Only someone as talented as Tim Burton could make it a truly fantastic movie. As for “Charlotte,” call me crazy but I think Frank Coraci could make it pretty well.
I can’t wait for the Charlottes Web score. Not very excited about Meet the Robinsons. Might be too goofy and happy sounding. Charlottes Web should have some sadness and sadness = good.
Delays are great. They mean Danny has more time to work on and refine his score, and that’s a composer’s dream.
