Elfman is coming to Comic Con and read this from the release…
10:30-11:30 Danny Elfman- From Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure to Alice in Wonderland, composer Danny Elfman discusses his 25-year collaboration with director Tim Burton. Their legendary partnership includes such films as Beetle Juice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Joining Mr. Elfman will be Warner Brothers Records executives to announce their plans to celebrate this quarter-century milestone. Room 6BCF
Record Executives? Celebrate? Hmm…
I hope someone asks him if he’s interested in returning to Pee-Wee too. But that’s just me.

It ain’t MFADT III
Yeah, we know, it’s a new Batman album. That’s why he’s at COMIC-Con. BTW, how many times has Elfman been to Comic-Con?
The Green Hornet makes sense too, but you’d think he would be on The Green Hornet panel and with someone from SONY. So, my guess is that, aside from Batman, it’s some sort of 25th anniversary album. They mentioned Tim Burton, so it’s probably the “Best of Burton-Elfman” album. Steven Spielberg and John Williams had an album like that a few years ago.
Maybe a “Burton / Elfman Collaboration album”, you’re right… But if they do it, I really hope it will contain new versions, or concert versions specially written for the album (as John Williams would do)…
Or even better… What about a Batman Symphony ? Shore has done something like this with Lord Of The Rings. And since Elfman has made his first steps into Concert pieces with Serenada, that could be a possibility… It would be a dream come true….
There was already a Tim Burton compilation a couple of years ago (or was it last year), from Silva Screen, if memory serves.
Let’s see…
1. The Burton-Elfman Collection featuring the ORIGINAL recordings and remastered.
2. Batman and Batman Returns: The Special Edition. Remastered, extended cues, additional cues, alternate cues, and a booklet with behind the scenes information.
3. Back to School Remastered and released as a double-pack with Hot to Trot.
4. Sommersby Remastered and Re-Released
5. Black Beauty Remastered and Re-ReleasedWell, these are all amazing ideas… But for choices 3 to 5, If you think about it, there’s no link with Comicon, or with Sony…. Hmmmm…. I’m getting more and more curious !
No link with Warner Bros. Records, that is. Or Tim Burton. This is Elfman, Burton and Warner Bros. Just think about it.
We already know about Batman since you already mentioned it. So, really, that’s pretty much it unless they’re also gonna release a Elfman-Burton collection.
Sure. But I don’t see how that makes it related to Warner Bros. It’s obviously going to be Beetlejuice Goes to Hawaii and the animatic’s that Elfman scored of Superman Lives!
