ParticipantThis movie is filled with amazing source music, but it also features a score by Danny Elfman.
It’s a very source-based movie but he did some amazing, key pieces of music, as he did with “Silver Livings Playbook.”
Is it true that Chris Tucker set you up?
Wow. That’s the first time I’ve heard that. Why does Chris Tucker know Danny Elfman?
Because of “Dead Presidents.”
Well, I love Chris and Chris might have had a role in there, but I don’t know. I honestly can’t remember.
Is Elfman someone who you’re looking to re-team with?
Well, I want to re-team with both: I want to work with Chris Tucker again and Elfman is now definitely a part of our process. We have a team that has a rhythm and we always end up in Danny’s studio. We took all this source music, and he knew it was going to be very source-y. But he very brilliantly put in the first score that starts the picture, when Irving leaves the suite to chase the mayor. It’s a perfect bit of score that fits the rest of the movie and the craziness that’s going on inside of these people. And he does that a bunch of times.

ParticipantI uploaded Elfman’s track if anyone is interested.

Unfortunately The Unknown Known didn’t make the Best Documentary shortlist so the release probably isn’t coming anytime soon, which in turn would delay a CD of the score.
December 14, 2013 at 11:44 pm in reply to: The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld. #67751ParticipantI’m curious as to why the score wasn’t eligible for an Oscar nomination? I never would have expected it to get nominated but other scores for documentaries are eligible.
ParticipantNominated for an Annie award.
ParticipantSony have a FYC for Elfman on their website. An indicator of a longer score or are they just promoting everything?

ParticipantThe Silver Linings release came from nowhere I think so there’s hope.
ParticipantSoundtrack album features one Elfman track, which can be sampled here.
ParticipantThe ‘Horn of Plenty’ melody was by Arcade Fire, would have loved to have seen what Elfman would have done with it though JNH’s take was the highlight of that score. Their song Abraham’s Daughter is aces too.

Recording today in London.
November 13, 2013 at 1:38 am in reply to: The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld. #61779ParticipantThe film hasn’t been released nor is there any news of a release. Wouldn’t expect a score release until the film is out.
ParticipantHe said it was ‘jolly’ though he’s never said anything bad about it, in fact recently he said Elfman’s score was brilliant.
ParticipantWeepy Donuts plays over the end credits, it’s really lovely. The movie also has a song for the main titles, so Elfman’s take wasn’t used.
ParticipantLalaland are releasing the score next week!
ParticipantParticipantI read an interview with the director today and he said the movie will be finished in a month so it sounds about right?
ParticipantAccording to Twitter the score is being recorded today in London.
ParticipantElfman says he finishes the score this week.

ParticipantThanks for the confirmation, the movie does look terrific. Hopefully there’s still a MP3 release. A lot of the Silver Linings release was padding that never made the film.
ParticipantWell the only other one is Meet The Robinsons, which admittedly this one sounds a lot closer to.
The plot synopsis reads like 90 minutes of gags, hopefully there’s more to it than that. If it’s in line with Dreamworks’ last March releases like How To Train Your Dragon or even The Croods all will be well.
ParticipantI was at the Leeds one last night. Incredible, really unbelievable. My highlight was the silences after the Big Fish and Edward Scissorhands suites, could hear more than a few people sniffling. Might have shed a tear or two myself. His dancing was awesome and he can still sing fantastically though he didn’t speak at this concert.
Is there any hope for a DVD or whatever? I need to relive this.
ParticipantMV loves Dolores Claiborne and said he’d love to expand it but it’s one of those titles Varese is holding onto and doing nothing with. That was a while ago though.
ParticipantI dunno whether this counts as confirmation or not, but since it also mentions Big Eyes and Mr Peabody(which no other site has reported yet) it seems legit.

ParticipantIf the movie is as good as it reads, it’ll probably be the best shots Burton and Elfman have at Oscars. Harvey Weinstein can get even mediocre/decent movies Best Picture nominations these days.
