I know I’m dreaming BUT wouldn’t it be nice, with those new short additions, that Danny’s music is being reintegrated ? If they add 12 seconds in the train sequence or 5 in the clock tower fight, they’ll have to find music for it don’t you think ?
Am I really going too far ?I read that as well. I’d love to see a director’s cut with Danny’s music put in where it should ahve been.
The article also says that the Spidey franchise will end at 3. Danny said he’s willing to do a third, and if it’s the last time we see Spidey, imagine how incredible the score will be…
I don’t know. They’ll have to re-edit and Danny’s music would really be the only reason to do that. I don’t think Hollywood fatheads are willing to spend that kind of time and money on something simply based on that — despite the music and it’s ass kicking capability. Maybe Sam Raimi could pull his weight but I doubt it.
Oh well. It would be awesome to see anyway.
Oh GOD!!! I hope that there is a new edit of music replacing all the shoddy bad quality copy and paste butchering they did with music from the first film. That really irked me a lot and prevented me from fully enjoying the film. I REALLY!!! Hope that Danny Elfman writes new music for the parts of the score that used music from the first film.
I thought that the crappy copy and paste job in Spider-Man 2 was worse than the ones George Lucas did for Star Wars Episodes 1 and 2.
This really bugs me and I hope that this problem is solved. Am I the only one that is majorly bothered by this? BTW Ioved Elfman’s version of the Train sequence a lot better.

Someone put an interview with him in this forum and he says that he doesn’t object to doing a third. Do a search, see if you can find it.
why is this the new hollywood big budget blockbuster way of doing business? I know the accountants like to meddle with the films, but why with the soundtrack?? I mean, John Williams score to Episode 2 was similarly butchered, and to what effect?
The only film composer I ever heard speak to this was Randy Newman. He was funny, as usual, and he was talking about Seabiscuit…not exactly Spidey 2 or Star Wars, but anyway he talked about trying to do your best, and often the films are temp scored and the diretors/producers fall in love with the temp score…so few people actually CARE about the music, why don’t they permit the people who do it as a living, the experts, do what they do best. And I know Denbey and Young were just trying to help out or whatever, but it really sucks that executive producers get together and decide to change music.I thought that the crappy copy and paste job in Spider-Man 2 was worse than the ones George Lucas did for Star Wars Episodes 1 and 2.
Well, remember that the end battle of Episode II has proximately 40 cue fragments packed in that sequence. Spider-Man 2 was a Seven Spielberg score dub compared to Attack of the Clones.
I mean, John Williams score to Episode 2 was similarly butchered, and to what effect?
The only film composer I ever heard speak to this was Randy Newman.Though the year’s, Williams has a been a consummate professional — a gentleman’s gentlemen among film composers. Riffing on his employer would be tacky in his eyes.

Danny Burton’s report of a post-Spidy2-re-edit interview posted to the SuperHeroHype boards, and originating in a French mag called “Cinefonia”. The interview itself doesn’t seem to have been pasted in either place, so all we get is the second (or third-) hand report. Does anyone get access to this magazine? It sounds like it could answer a number of questions with the best authority available (even if you can’t always trust a man whose living is necessarily as much reliant on reputation and connections as it is with talent).

Doing own leg-work…
Found what looks like the offending magazine up for sale at http://www.cinefonia.com/shopmanager/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=97 and have just purchased (… I think – trusted to my poor French until I noticed the multi-lingual options – smacks forehead). I’d be happier, though, if there was an English-language interview from Elfman on this subject, since we’ve been feeling our way in the dark for a while now…
BluntAs promised, I typed out the interview and added a VERY ROUGH English summary. If you want to argue authoritatively on the issue, I suggest you head straight to the French and disregard my text altogether!

And if you want it with pictures and glossy pages, go buy the magazine.. :o)
