The Reznor comparisons had me worried but this is the ‘dreamy synth’ Elfman I love.
I imagine the ‘film music community’ will shun this but it sounds right up my street.
The lone creative element to command coercive interest here is Elfman’s score, which employs sonic currents of tonal irregularities, pulsations and mood instigators rather than melodies, typical tension tropes or any of his trademark gambits from the Tim Burton collaborations. He almost makes the film seem good from time to time.

Fun movie but Elfman was sorely missed.
Sounds like much less talented people trying to be Elfman. Not a bad score by any stretch of the imagination but lacking Elfman’s talent for melody.

Doesn’t sound like it’ll be a Hermann-esque score anyway.
Breaking my self-imposed internet lockdown to say that the score is apparently very electronic ala Trent Reznor and that Luke Evans was gushing about the score on an interview I saw on tv about a week ago.
Also, the album has an ‘explicit lyrics’ warning. Which might explain why Elfman was recording with that heavy metal artist.

Some of the music I thought was Elfman was evidently The Newton Bros. Fair play, some of it is really quite nice.
None of Elfman’s music is on the leaked album.

‘featuring new track by Danny Elfman…’
The Newton Bros said Elfman wrote a 12 minute track ages ago but that doesn’t seem to correlate with the album that’s already online.
Chris Bacon is now listed as scoring the entire series.
I guess there was a schedule conflict and Elfman suggested Bacon.
Recording this week in New York.
Here’s some photos of the set-up https://www.facebook.com/JimFlynnRentals/posts/1066923353392058
I remember Desplat talking about recording in New York once. I think it was for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
Recording is imminent.

Guillermo Del Toro’s next film is screaming for an Elfman score.
I don’t know anything about this sort of stuff but surely that’s sorted way in advance? The movie was spotted two months ago.
If he has left the project hopefully Taylor goes back to Newman. No Jackman!
Here’s a bigger version. Definitely no Elfman credit, which is really weird no? I wonder if he’s being/has been replaced.

No Elfman credit on the new poster…

Hope there’s not been any trouble.
