Maybe Danny can re-use his Wolfman music?
Or write all new music because Ryan keeps suggesting that there will be Wolfman music to hear… Maybe?
…
Dark Shadows starts filming in April.
“Elsewhere, the official Dark Shadows newsletter ShadowGram reports that Tim Burton’s regular composer Danny Elfman will create the musical score for the new film, adding that “Robert Cobert’s original theme will likely be integrated.” Elfman’s other credits include Men in Black, Red Dragon and Spider-Man along with theme music for The Simpsons and Desperate Housewives.”

I don’t care much for that integration. Is that theme big in the US ? It didn’t hit Europe for sure (I don’t even think the show had any success here, so it’s completely new to me)…
Is there a melody there?
Danny can do better than that.
I can appreciate fans might be worried that the film isn’t going to be respectful enough of the show they love, but do they want it to be exactly like the show? Couldnt they just watch IT instead? I really dont want Danny to have to start shoe-horning in themes from the original show to keep it’s fans happy. HE HAS HIS FANS TOO.One year from now, really ? Is the film in shooting right now ? Is Burton is directing Frankenweenie on his own ? Am I boring you with my questions ?
I hope Elfman can squeeze MIIIB with that tough release date. I want him to finally complete a trilogy.
I REALLY hope he doesn’t. Has he THAT much coming up? Real Steel I thought was nearly done, Frankenweenie and Dark Shadows is all we know of, what’s the problem? Frankenweenie and DS have only really started production. MIB should be done long before them. Danny can always score it before the CG is done cant he?
They still could push Dark Shadows’ release date b/c it comes out a week after the long awaited Marvel’s The Avengers movie. Besides I think it should come out around around Halloween and Frankenweenie can come out early 2013. Or keep Frankenweenie at it’s spot and have Dark Shadows come out around Thanksgiving like Sleepy Hollow did back in ’99.
Dark Shadow has already begun production. It will get a summer release for several reasons.
1) Burton and Depp’s last film grossed $1 billion worldwide.
2) We’re in a vampire craze, so the genre doesn’t have to be limited to Halloween.
3) It’ll serve as counter-programming. Fast Five and Bridesmaids are doing well opposite Thor. So, I assume Dark Shadows will be fine the week after The Avengers.Descent Into Mystery Wrote:

I just hope Elfman can score MIIIB. I want him to have a trilogy on his resume. It’s been long overdue. Unlike DS which picked a release date a year from when they started filming. MIIIB had the release date way before they started filming. Not to mention before the DS cast was put together. B/c of those reasons I really hope Elfman achieves scoring MIIIB while still having plenty of time to score DS.
Trust me. I really, really, want Elfman to score MIB 3, but its release date is literally two weeks after Dark Shadows. The only way Elfman can pull this off is if he’s already begun writing the MIB 3 score which I highly doubt because that film has shut down production several times due to creative differences between Will Smith and the director. They’re STILL shooting the film. And don’t expect Sony to move MIB 3 to another date. Summer 2012 is already jam-packed.

I wouldn’t worry too much about Danny not doing MIIIB. If you recall in 2002 Danny scored the second Men in Black and he also scored another tiny little movie called Spiderman. So, I have a feeling he can work his schedule out. Fingers crossed.
