ParticipantI imagine he’ll be asked to use the Wonder Woman theme. Hopefully he ditches Zimmer’s Batfleck theme which was weak. I imagine he’ll be concentrating on the Justice League and Steppenwolf themes as that’s where he can leave a mark.
I really hope Whedon gets Elfman on Batgirl. Apparently it has Robin and Poison Ivy in it – we could have Elfman scoring Batman’s rogues again after thirty years.
ParticipantNew trailer.
ParticipantBecause I’m cool, I checked previous start-of-production press releases and Elfman was included on those for Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows (and Alice Through the Looking Glass); Frankenweenie and Big Eyes didn’t have any (though he was confirmed for Frankenweenie a year and a half in advance) and no composer was listed on the Miss Peregrine one.
This is such a huge musical opportunity that I need Elfman on-board. More importantly, I don’t want a Burton/Keaton reunion set to anyone else’s music.
ParticipantDisney posted a press release detailing the cast and crew – no composer listed. 🙁

July 11, 2017 at 7:28 pm in reply to: Giacchino's Spider-Man music was less Horner & Zimmer and more Elfman #98257ParticipantIt’s a good enough score but comfortably the weakest of the six to date, for me.
Feels weird that in a year in which we’ve had superhero scores by Beltrami and Giacchino that the best one is by Tyler Bates…
Bring on Justice League.
NP: Hellboy II – this is stupidly good.
ParticipantAfter Silvestri replacing Williams on Ready Player One (which I’m still excited about!) I wish we’d get some Elfman confirmation on this one.
ParticipantOh man, there’s so much good music in the film not on the album. Ponsoldt often dials out the sounds and ups the score too – a terrific mix.
ParticipantI do! Darker was a good score but the first is excellent and woefully underappreciated.
ParticipantParticipant“We worked together today, actually.” Seems like he’s already working on this.
ParticipantTomorrow’s the big day!
ParticipantVisually the trailer is quite something – Snyder’s storytelling skills are clearly lacking but the dude surely knows how to shoot a movie. Getting quite excited imagining these scenes with Elfman music.
ParticipantI hope Elfman’s got some time to score this. This is his biggest movie since Spider-Man 2 and I’d hate for him to have to farm out a lot of cues.
ParticipantPerhaps Elfman will score Whedon’s Batgirl too.
ParticipantHopefully the score can actually be heard this time.
ParticipantI can’t stop coming back to this one. The way Elfman deconstructs his themes to subtly follow the narrative is so intelligent and only really reveals itself on repeat listens. That ‘Megan’ cue is just lovely; it’s sad but driven and perfectly captures the essence of that character. Things get nasty, of course, but purposefully so – and Elfman, unlike a lot of his contemporaries, can make dissonance entertaining. Just terrific stuff.
ParticipantMine has been dispatched. 😀
Anybody watched the DVD yet?
ParticipantCD arrived today.
Sony Classical pull through again.
ParticipantYeah, The Circle has been dispatched for me but no movement for Rabbit & Rogue.
ParticipantApparently Young’s score is entirely restored. Well, as much as possible.
I really like what he did with this movie. The use of Elfman’s themes does sound ‘off’ but his original stuff is great. I wish he got more work.
ParticipantDelayed to the 30th June according to Amazon.
ParticipantCD available on 26 May from Amazon UK!
ParticipantThis is on UK iTunes – no CD release coming.
ParticipantFirst world problems and all that, but it’s such a bummer that this isn’t getting a CD release.
Hopefully when the movie (eventually) gets a UK release we might get one – that happened with Promised Land.
