A great new article about Elfman has surfaced, triggered by his visit to John Mauceri’s NC arts college. But here’s the best parts…
“…When Elfman lost the Oscar for 1989’s Batman, he got a cryptic telegram saying “You was robbed – Hank.” Asking around, he found out that the telegram had come from Henry Mancini.”
“…Elfman is currently working on several projects, including a documentary by filmmaker Errol Morris about Abu Ghraib; a ballet with choreographer Twyla Tharp; and the score for a drama called In Bloom.”
In Bloom?

Good Lord:
His work hasn’t always been appreciated by the studios. The 1990 score for Edward Scissorhands is now acclaimed, but the studio hated it. They threatened to replace the score altogether, Elfman said, but ultimately decided – based on test screenings – that the movie itself was going to be such a flop it was a lost cause anyhow. The movie, which cost $20 million, went on to earn more than $56 million at the box office and become a hit on home video.
