“This was one of my most intensely busy years, and probably the most creative that I’ve had in a long time, because of the juxtaposition of everything,” says Elfman, who is soon to start the score for Joe Johnston’s remake of “The Wolf Man.” “The greater the contrast, the happier I am.”
“The Wolf Man” provides a contrast to his earlier experience working for Tim Burton on the remake of “Planet of the Apes.”
“The lucky thing for me is that the original ‘Wolf Man’ did not have an extremely famous musical score. (So) at least I’m not going to have a mountain of people madly in love with the original,” the Grammy winner and three-time Oscar nominee says, laughing. “There’s a little bit of relief.”

He’s right. I don’t think most people even remember the score to that movie. So, yea, complete freedom.

Let’s hope its a marketing plan and not a half-hearted attempt to salvage a turkey with re-shoots, etc. I hope that Elfman still scores this one…
It could either be a situation like CHARLOTTE’S WEB or THE INVASION. Only time will tell I guess.
I agree Ryan, let’s hope we’re not losing Danny. It sounded like it was for sure on that british raido show.
It may very well be there moving it out of the getting-crowded summer marketplace. A movie like WOLF MAN to me always seemed like a Fall picture anyways.
Or it could be an unmitigated disaster.

Would this be a sampling of Danny Elfman’s score, I am wondering? If so, I like it.
Isn’t it too soon for Elfman to have started work on the movie? He’s currently working on Terminator and this movie doesn’t open till November.
I suspected that as well, but the film was originally going to be released in February, was it not? This is just partially baseless speculation, of course, but could Danny Elfman have written some music for an early cut of the film? You are probably right, but who knows?
It’s possible that Elfman started working on some stuff in November when the release date was changed but I doubt anything was actually recorded.
The original release date was May 2009, if I recall correctly.
I don’t think WOLF MAN has been recorded yet. TERMINATOR 4 goes to London to record very soon.
So, it looks like ol’ Wolfie can’t catch a break. Looks like The Wolf Man has been moved again to FEB 2010. This movie must really suck. Well, at least we know the score will be good.

Did anyone else LOL at the new wolf man character design? Looks like something you’d see on a made-for-TV movie! Nevertheless, looking forward to this score.
