Movie sounds terrific and should certainly have a great score. Could/should be a big awards contender.

I think Elfman’s involvement will tell us if it will be more of a traditional/hollywoodian movie or something more experimental like Gerry…

Well, it would be rather interesting to hear Elfman on something experimental, Gerry-like.
I hope he will score this movie, I love the mood he gives to his Van Sant scores.

I seem to remember Van Sant saying that he was done with his more experimental film making. His last three films have had Elfman scores despite the big drought beforehand which I think supports that.

Budget is $25M which seems far removed from Van Sant’s other experimental movies. The movie is also partly flashback to scenes with McConaughy’s wife. You never know of course but I think and hope this will have a score.

Elfman’s recent works for Van Sant movies are both very agreable album listening experiences, and very efficient in the movie I think. So, if I was Van Sant, I would not hesitate to hire him again.
But well…I’m maybe not completly objective : smiling smiley

If they go with an original score, I don’t see why Elfman wouldn’t be hired…

Van Sant hasn’t worked with another composer since 1995 so it’s a very safe bet.

Because someone edited the IMDB page?
EDIT: I see Edward was talking about it on Filmtracks. He’s reliable and was first to mention Elfman was on American Hustle IIRC.

That’s exactly because Edward confirmed that I considered the information as reliable. Smiling smiley

Danny’s name has been removed everywhere and replaced with a Mason Bates.
The movie is finished and so it’s pretty safe to say Danny wasn’t involved.

This is getting absolutely destroyed at Cannes, major booing after the screening apparently.

That’s what happens when you miss a Danny Elfman score…

It’s probably around that time when Van Sant needs to make an Oscar bait movie again.
I was really looking forward to this, still going to check it out.

Really??? It got destroyed at Cannes?
Funny, Richard Elfman and Danny’s daughter Mali are currently in Cannes with Gus Van Sant…
I had totally forgotten Danny wasn’t involved in this project anymore.

Yep, reviews are absolutely scathing.
