I really like Howard Shore but a Burton’s movie without Danny it’s like a bike without its wheels.
or pee wee without his bike
we’re going to need to write to timbo about this one.
lexi: why the dancing robots? why??
hmm it was early in the morning…..my metaphor is kind of hmm, well, let’s just say easy…
I want Danny Elfman to score this one, I beleive this has potential to be his return to the Nino Rota/ Bernard Herrmann influence Elfman has turned away from for so long. But perhaps this isn’t what Danny wants to do, and why Burton is hiring Shore?
is this confirmed?
Don’t believe this one until you see it in writing someplace else. Thus far, it has appeared on an internet message board and that’s it. Relax and see what happens. Personally, I’d guess that it’s just a rumor. Howard Shore has been getting a lot of attention lately and if he _were_ to sign on to the next Tim Burton film, the story would probably make a bigger splash than it has.
Sorry, I’m a bit behind here. When is Big Fish supposed to hit the big screen? If it comes out in the next 2 years I don’t think Shore would do it. I think Shore would want to take at least a year+ vacation after working on Rings. He has been working on the project for at least 5 years already. Not just has he been scoring the films, but adding additional new music for the awsome Extended Editions. So he still has a great amount of work to accomplish: TTT extend edition scoring, Return of the King Scoring and its Extended version, and probably some big and special DVD, or something to that effect, that for some reason you have to have and will flock to the stores to buy ((oh come on, you KNOW New Line will do that. I can picture the wheels in their heads turning trying to come up with the perfect thing… Blooper Edition would be nice…I would go for that. -*bonks self on head. She now remembers that she is not writing on a Tolkien message board and realizes readers here may have confusion*- anyways)) In short… I don’t believe Shore would get done until late in 2004. Nor do I think he would go do another film in between. Which is good for us… that would lead to Danny if he is free.
Brigitte – who believes Williams can write wonderful themes but when it comes to scoring a film, well… he needs help.

But Shore just did the score to the movie Spider also, so nothing is out of question right now. Just wait, this speculation is useless.

Brigitte – You are right about Williams (hehehe) but Shore has not spent 5 years on LOTR, unless there has been some huge change in how much time a composer gets to write a score. For a movie like these are, I would say he probably had 12 week for each max (which is 9 months TOTAL). A regular movie will not get more than 6-8 weeks (8 if they are lucky) to score it, and because the LOTR films where about 3 hours, 12 makes sense. Besides all that, a composer will not even START scoring a film until it’s in production, which all the LOTR films have been going into right after each other (Fellowship: 2000, Towers: 2001, King: 2002). As for him doing the score to Big Fish, I don’t believe anything until I see it in writing. Unless someone has a movie poster with a “Music by Howard Shore” text on it, I won’t believe it.
Knight (But it would be pretty sad to see Danny miss another Burton film)
I was watching the Making of the Music part on the Extended Edition of Lord of the Rings and I think they said that he was introduced to the film when they were just getting started and that he wrote a couple of pieces at that time I think. Though really, knowing me, it all ran together and i got all the people and stuff blurred together in a blob. hmmmmm…. Brigitte needs to watch it again. it’s all very vague. I’ll get back to you someday, if any.
Brigitte – Who is very glad that someone agrees with her about Williams.
