Has started shooting.
The writers have seemingly (and recently) deleted their tweet which suggested that Danny would score, Bill Pope would lens and Bob Murawski would edit.
30th January 2026 – release date.

Possibly! This is ultimately a Disney movie, so that’s more telling about how the industry is viewing the allegations than a European movie (Dracula) or an indie thriller (Dead Man’s Wire).
I’m curious to see if Burton was able to keep Elfman on Wednesday.
Elfman said he’s ‘in the middle’ of scoring this last night in this interview.

He says near the start of this that he’s been recording it remotely in Sydney.

Elfman acknowledges his good fortune in having long-term working relationships with such inventive directors as Tim Burton, Gus Van Sant and Sam Raimi. “It was a fun year working with all three of them back-to-back,” he notes, having scored Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire either side of his work on Besson’s Dracula; now he is about to start recording the soundtrack for his latest collaboration with Raimi, Send Help, which will be released early next year. He describes the plot as “whacked. I don’t know what to say about it! It’s about this power dynamic on a desert island, shifting between these two people, and it gets more and more crazy until – I don’t want to give away too much – things get pretty out of control.”
Both Dracula: A Love Tale and Send Help have given Elfman the chance to work on a genre for which he feels a particular affinity – “It’s a little frustrating for me that, even though I was a horror kid and grew up on horror and it’s defined my entire life, I’ve done so few horror films” – whereas many of his previous collaborations with Raimi have been on superhero films such as Spider-Man and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. “I love working with Sam,” Elfman says. “He’s the funniest, nicest guy on the planet. So when we do a session, it would probably take me an hour to an hour and a half to present all the music I’m going to have, but we’ll probably sit there for three because Sam is going to be telling jokes and entertaining – he’s one of the most fun people ever to work with.”
