ParticipantReally fun movie. The film version of ‘Hannah’s Back’ is so much better.
ParticipantYeah I know what you mean.
I also find it weird that Burton would turn to these guys when every other composer would probably want to work with him. Oh well, good for them as you said. Hope they hit it out of the park as long as Elfman’s back for Beetlejuice 2 or Dumbo or whatever is next.
ParticipantI know I’m a broken record but if this records in a few weeks and Danny was still recording Alice 2 this week it definitely seems like a timing issue.
ParticipantParticipantParticipantThat would be cool. Not the Han Solo one though because that’s just a horrible idea.
Really excited for Desplat’s Rogue One.
ParticipantYoung sounds nothing like Elfman so it’s just so jarring. I love Young. I love all the original stuff he did in Spider-Man 3 but when he’s aping Elfman it just sounds off. That choral version of the Doc Ock theme especially.
Tbf the movie has the love theme play over an Aunt May scene so it’s not the worst offence.
ParticipantThis is enlightening. David Reynolds, who wrote additional music for Wanted, has uploaded the music he wrote. None of which made the album.

I distinctly remember reading that T.J. Lindgren was involved with ‘Atom Vs Twin Cities’ from Real Steel.
ParticipantI’d love it if that were the case. Elfman did omit the cues that weren’t his on Darkman and Nightbreed.
Paul Mounsey, who wrote additional music for Epic (and Goosebumps incidentally), is a Powell regular. Pretty much everyone noted how much it sounds like Powell and it’s a sound pretty exclusive to Epic as far as Elfman is concerned. I can’t help but be skeptical about that one. Then again, Powell scored all but one Blue Sky film at that point so he was probably all over the temp.
‘Bliss’ is a dodgy one in that we don’t know how much Buckley was involved. But I don’t think he would boast about it on his website if it weren’t a significant contribution. He doesn’t get cue specific for any other movie Elfman hired him on.
This seems to be really common practice nowadays. Beltrami, Powell and seemingly 99% of composers are in the same boat. I’d love to hear him talk about it.
ParticipantI don’t think Alice has recorded yet.
I don’t mind if it’s made clear like it was with Nightbreed and Darkman, but this is all so hazy. Am I listening to Elfman? Am I listening to Chris Bacon? Both? I mean good music is good music but some clarity would be nice.
ParticipantApparently Mike Highman and Matthew Margeson are writing the score.
Highman has Burton/Elfman connections which supports the idea of Danny simply being too busy…
ParticipantApparently the Elfman feature on the Blu-Ray is 8 minutes long.
Have any of you seen the movie? I saw it a few months ago and it’s really stuck with me, definitely one of the best movies Danny has scored.
I noticed two cues adding to about 3-4 minutes of music not on the album. Intro and the two Reprise cues aren’t in the movie.
ParticipantMV definitely said as much on FSM, that was well over two years ago now.
ParticipantTrue, true!
He does have a big slate this year but doesn’t he always? I was googling about and Desplat was actually at the Moma event and they met up in Cannes.
ParticipantI’ve enjoyed so much of the guys writing that I feel bad knocking him but Jeff Bond wrote these liner notes in twenty minutes yeah?
CD sounds great.
ParticipantFor sure, I think their aesthetics would fit really well. He does have a little Star Wars movie out around then though.
ParticipantThe movie will be finished long before Christmas. Bridge of Spies was finished ages before release, but Williams couldn’t fit it in his schedule because Spielberg needed the music ‘early’ so he could finish it and move onto BFG. I really think that’s what’s happened here. Post-production doesn’t wait for any composer. If Elfman has Alice until early next year and then a violin concerto for Summer Elfman doesn’t have the power to ask them to wait for him, nobody does.
Big Eyes had a Christmas release and recorded in February. Burton was well into pre-production for Miss Peregrine by the time Big Eyes came out. He’s not going to sit around and tweak it all year. Add that to this being on the Kraft-Engel site back when it had a March 2016 release date and I think it’s the logical conclusion.
He finished Tulip Fever in July and is now half-way through Alice in December, there’s a big gap there that may have been for Miss Peregrine when it had the March release. He also mentioned having to turn down ‘Pee Wee’s Big Holiday’ which has a March release date because he was already booked.
ParticipantAs long as it’s just a one-off…
Everyone went nuts over Newman scoring Bridge of Spies and it ultimately ended up being a non-issue really, though a Star Wars score around the corner probably had a lot to do with that. If Burton’s next movie really is Beetlejuice 2 there’s surely no way Elfman won’t be on that…
ParticipantOn a positive note, Alice 2 sounds great.
ParticipantElfman isn’t scoring this…
ParticipantOrdered along with The Monkey King!
ParticipantParticipantYes but he also goes on to mention that the movie celebrates its 25th anniversary this month.
ParticipantIt’ll be announced on Monday. On Facebook they’re giving hints (sorry I can’t link) and one is clearly Edward Scissorhands.
ParticipantSounds like Intrada are releasing this on Monday…
