First “reviews” : http://letterboxd.com/film/big-eyes/
One describes the music as good. Hard to be more generic but hey, it’s always a good sign when the music is mentioned.
Edit : and the film’s release has been pushed back to February/March in many European countries. Noooooooooo…
Yes, that was pretty clear in the Burton/Elfman concerts orchestrations of the suite. PeeWee was a very naive score (and I don’t say that in a condescending way, it’s one of its quality actually as it fits the film perfectly) and a mature Elfman revisit would be something quite exciting.
Great indeed. Do you know which conductor he’s referring to in the Beetlejuice part ? The one that was replaced by Bill Ross ?
I doubt Burton will ever make a sequel of anything (yes, I don’t believe Beetlejuice 2 will happen). I’m fairly sure Danny would collaborate with a new PeeWee movie if it happens.
Got mine for the 21h30 concert (there’s one at 17h30). Didn’t go full price because 219€ was quite expensive for a concert I’ve already seen but I’m in the orchestre as well. Still closer seats than London !
Let’s not forget that Alexander and Karasewski wrote this and they systematically wrote the best biopics of the few last decades.
1985 – Back to the Future music. Iconic? Highly repetitive scores actually (which makes some sense to a certain extent) but when the base is so good, who cares ?
1988 – Rain Man. Good score or nah? It’s listenable. That’s quite a lot to say for a Zimmer score.
1990 – Miller’s Crossing music. Classic? I’ve seen the film but don’t recall the music. Carter Burwell is very good though.
1992 – I love Aladdin’s soundtrack. Do you? Wife and I are into Disney movies right now and Alan Menken work during the 90’s was impressive with Aladdin being the hightlight to me.
1993 – Jurassic Park or Schindler’s List? Which was the better John Williams score? Jurassic Park by far. The List of Schindler : very nice music but just not for that kind of film. I don’t need to be said when to cry when it comes to the Holocaust, thank you.
1994 – Am I the only one who loves music from The Mask? Well, I remember that theme, that’s quite a lot to say for a Randy Edelman score !
1996 – Fargo. Better score than Simple Plan? Really hard to compare. It looks like it could be but it shouldn’t.
1997 – Was Titanic’s music REALLY better than Men In Black? No but MIB isn’t a wonder either. Plus, it lost to The Fully Monty actually.
1999 – Anyone else love The Matrix music? Burly Brawl from Reloaded is one crazy track !
2001 – Lord of the Rings. Nuff said. Great music but too much of it everywhere in the films.
2002 – Minority Report. Good score or nah. I like it, especially the spiders cue.
2003 – X-Men 2. Good theme, bad score? Yup, couldn’t have put it better.
2004 – Passion of the Christ. Good score or nah? No idea.
2005 – Brokeback Mountain. Good score or nah? No idea.
2008 – The Dark Knight. Good score or nah? It has no ideas.
2009 – The Year of Michael Giacchino? He isn’t always consistent but he gives me faith that not all is lost in Hollywood.
2010 – Inception. Good score or nah? BZZZZZZ BRMMMM BZZZZZZ BRMMMM BZZZZZZZZ
2012 – The Hunger Games? The Avengers? Neither.Well, to be fair, with the amount of airing all over the world since 25 years, the marathon might just be a grain of salt. I also remember him saying that he mostly gets paid for singing the “The Simpsons” at the beginning of the cue, more than for the music itself. Although I think we could all live for the rest of our lives with that.

Elfman scored two of his films right, GWH and Flubber ? Anyway, I think a lot of people who grew up in the 90’s are in shock. I know I am.
