… A happy birthday, in their May issue (MATRIX cover). A picture of Elfman is included, though they mistakenly say “can’t wait to hear what he does with T3”, which he isn’t scoring!
Shame the IMDB cannot be trusted for information on films before they are released.

It seems I’ve heard that false rumor a number of places. Do you know where or how it even got started?
I can never understand what the misconception is with imdb. I mean, they always note that a film yet to be released is in production and that data is subject to change or could be removed entirely right on the page being read.
The problem with the IMDB is that anyone can submit info on a movie that is in production and they’ll put it on the site, without confirmation. Then in turn, no-name journalist guy putting together a calender for significant May events for WIRED loads up the IMDB and sees that Danny Elfman was born in May. He then loads up Elfman’s entry and sees the incorrect T3 listing.
Any Elfman/T3 related rumor originates from the IMDB listing. He has nothing to do with T3 (we’ve been through this before, and someone got their frilly panties in a twist because I had to continually drive home the point). Marco Beltrami scored T3 – and Beltrami isn’t usually a composer considered for the same projects as Elfman, therefore it’s unlikely that Elfman was even in the picture.
Pfffew!

“Beltrami isn’t usually a composer considered for the same projects as Elfman”
Didn’t Elfman write “Cassandra Aria” for the Beltrami scored Scream 2?
(I don’t mean to sound like a smart-ass with this statement. I guess writing it as a rehtorical question doesn’t help.)
It’s not like Dimension wanted Danny Elfman to score SCREAM 2. Wes Craven was probably on his “Hit List” of directors he wanted to work with, and the opportunity came up. SCREAM 2 was also 5 years ago, when Elfman was in good with Miramax for GOOD WILL HUNTING.
Last year, Marco Beltrami wrote a rejected score for TEXAS RANGERS, Elfman scored SPIDER-MAN. Need I say more?
Usually when a few composers are jockeying for a job, they are all represented by the same agency. I know of a film right now where there are 4 “A” composers interested in a film and they are all represented by the same agents.
Marco is rep’d by Greenspan and Elfman, of course, Blue Focus.
I find it funny that some people are holding onto this T3 dream so tightly. If Elfman wanted to score T3, he would. Please, let go!

I’m glad. When you have an idea that music has already been put into effect, it’s rare that you can do much with the score (although Elfman did do that with Red Dragon, but it’s a very different kind of film series) unless they themselves wrote the original score. I would hate to have a studio executive breathing down my neck saying “It’s not Terminatorish enough, amke it sound like so-and-so’s score!”
Knight (But that is just me, and isn’t Elfman one of the most popular film composers in hollywood? I think if Elfman did want to score this film, they would drop Beltrami like a bad habit, no offence to Beltrami fans
)I can’t wait to hear Marco Beltrami’s score for T3 !!!

I understand the predicament, but any journalist who doesn’t read their disclaimers and in turn prints imdb’s word as fact, is unwise, to put it nicely.
