According to this, the new film KICK ASS features one cue by Danny Elfman, “Walk to Rasul’s” (Courtesy of Morte Pharmaceutical [BMI]). I have no idea what score this cue is from, and there is a character called “Rasul” in KICK-ASS, so I am just going to say this is an original cue.
He isn’t listed on the soundtrack:

Danny is not the film’s credited composer. That is John Murphy, Ilan Eshkeri, Henry Jackman and Marius Devries.
“Walk to Rasul’s”
Damn it. I knew I should have checked this thread before watching the movie. I remember that scene, but not the music. I would have payed closer attention if I knew that was the scene with Elfman music. Although I gotta say that the movie had a lot of temp music, so I don’t think Elfman composed anything specific for this film. They probably just lifted it from another movie.
Very strange. They don’t usually rename cues when they are temped in from other films and actually make the final cut. I’m seeing KA tonight so I’ll know for sure.
It’s a totally original cue. Very subtle, but really good. You can totally hear some of his samples in it. I’m curious to find out the story on how that happened. And yes, Kick Ass totally lives up to it’s name. I can’t wait to see it again.

Yeah, I’m most likely incorrect. Plus, if it had been temp music I would have noticed.
It was definitely an original piece. Perhaps when the score gets it’s release later this Spring, it’ll be included.
How much original music does the film have? I heard mostly temp tracks from “28 Days Later,” “Sunshine,” and of course, Ennio Morricone’s score to “For a Few Dollars More.” The rest was just songs like Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation.” The movie lists four composers but the score doesn’t show that.

Wow, I finally know how the folks overseas feel when they’re denied an American release of… well, anything. That score album’s pretty good, actually. I remember being very impressed with the score when I was watching the film.
