“Danny Elfman’s agent has confirmed to Music from the Movies that the popular composer has been hired to score The Corpse Bride, the dark animated fairytale produced by Tim Burton scheduled for release in October 2005. The film is based on an old Russian folk tale telling the story of a man who weds a corpse by mistake. The screenplay is being written by Caroline Thompson (of Edward Scissorhands fame) and Pamela Pettler. Directing the film is Mike Johnson, who previously worked as an animator on The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach. Like both of those, The Corpse Bride will be created using stop-animation technique.Danny Elfman will also score Tim Burton’s next directorial effort, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, starring Johnny Depp. Coming first, however, is the eagerly anticipated Spider-Man 2, premiering on 30th June.”
NIce news indeed,
Nat
I just about died when I read this…thank you for reporting it. I had an immense sense of hope that he would be involved in this film, but for some reason I just didn’t think it would come to pass. This is truly amazing…I’m speechless, and oh so happy…October 2005 is a long wait, but it will be more than worth it…

The only thing i didnt like about that article was that said directoral effort.
True… could have a few dodgy connotations, there – sounds like whoever wrote it might no

But, YES! I’m extreeeemely happy to hear this! Thanks for telling us, Nat. I wonder if Danny’ll come to London to visit the production. If so, I might camp outside the studio, now that i’ve found out where it is ;o) lol

Oh man. Tension Tension Tension.
Caroline Thompson is Danny’s Ex Girlfriend.Oh no he di’int!!! Nah, I doubt it’ll be a problem with Danny and Caroline. It’s called moving on. He’s married now, he doesn’t need to worry. After all, they are are professionals…right?
Oh yes, thank you, Nat! This has made me a happy girl, indeed…just the news I needed on an “off” day!

The wait is far too long–but at least we know it’s getting made. The only thing that’d make that news better, would be if it said Danny would be writing and singing songs again!
Sounds great!
But “directorial effort”? tim is already an amazing director!
WOW
