ParticipantJust saw this on Deadline:
Quote:In fact I was talking to composer Danny Elfman at the Alice Through The Looking Glass premiere last month and he had just spent his first day spotting [ The Girl on the Train ] for his music score. Elfman told me that after seeing the movie he decided Blunt’s performance was so powerful he would limit or even remove some of the music he originally planned for her scenes. “I told the director Tate Taylor that she is just too good. She doesn’t need it, which is a rare thing for me to do in composing films,” he said. [Producer Marc] Platt has that movie for October, Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk for Sony in November, and the original movie musical La La Land from Lionsgate in December starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.June 18, 2016 at 8:04 pm #58293ddddeeee
ParticipantOh my goodness this is exciting.

KeymasterHe seems to be entering that James Newton Howard – late early to mid ’90s phase of scoring adult thrillers

ParticipantHere, I’ll say it : I don’t care much for thriller Elfman…
July 18, 2016 at 6:48 pm #58338ddddeeee
ParticipantNo Elfman credit on the new poster…

Hope there’s not been any trouble.

KeymasterYou have better eyes than I do.

ParticipantHere’s a bigger version. Definitely no Elfman credit, which is really weird no? I wonder if he’s being/has been replaced.

KeymasterCould be the deal isn’t signed in time for that teaser poster, or Henry Jackman will be scoring it

ParticipantI don’t know anything about this sort of stuff but surely that’s sorted way in advance? The movie was spotted two months ago.
If he has left the project hopefully Taylor goes back to Newman. No Jackman!

ParticipantElfman crew starting to add this movie to their resumes and whatnot. Crisis averted!

ParticipantRecording this week in New York.
Here’s some photos of the set-up https://www.facebook.com/JimFlynnRentals/posts/1066923353392058
I remember Desplat talking about recording in New York once. I think it was for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

ParticipantWhat was it like collaborating with Danny Elfman on the score?
Tate Taylor: It was a dream. He’s such a master and his work speaks for itself. We had a blast. We took chances, and I told him to go as crazy as he wanted. He’s fantastic and became a great friend.

ParticipantBreaking my self-imposed internet lockdown to say that the score is apparently very electronic ala Trent Reznor and that Luke Evans was gushing about the score on an interview I saw on tv about a week ago.
Also, the album has an ‘explicit lyrics’ warning. Which might explain why Elfman was recording with that heavy metal artist.
