Sounds like a mixture of old school and new school Elfman. It could be interesting. Hopefully Ryan’s samples are a little longer.
Superman score is as classic as Batman. If not more since it has no challengers. When people think Superman music they think John Williams. With Batman it’s a different story. They could think Elfman or the `60s Adam West theme or even Shirley Walker’s theme from the cartoon series. Or the 10 people who’ll think of Hans Zimmer. But with Superman there is only Williams. Although I also enjoy the theme from the `40s Max Fleschier shorts and Shirley Walker’s theme from the `90s cartoon series. But sadly those aren’t as remembered as Williams.
The DVD will have 30-40 minutes of deleted scenes, including an alternate ending. More Elfman music? Ryan, find out for us.
Any updates? I’ve seen a couple of new TV spots that feature a new version of the Terminator theme. I wonder if its Elfman.
FYI, Black Beauty is not a Tim Burton movie. It was directed by Elfman’s then girlfriend, Caroline Thompson. As for movies I haven’t seen…I think Wisdom and SOP are the only ones. Aside from being an Elfman fan I’m also a movie fan so I see a lot of things.
You guys are being a little harsh on this movie. It looks decent and Christian Bale is in it. Christian Bale!!!
To begin with, Williams didn’t write anything for Superman IV. Alexander Courage simply used alternate takes from the original score. You can hear those on the 2001 DVD of Superman: The Movie. Secondly, when did Elfman score 11 superhero movies? Shouldn’t it be 7? Batman, Darkman, Batman Returns, Spider-Man, Hulk, Spider-Man 2, and Hellboy 2. Men in Black, Men in Black II, and Wanted aren’t superhero movies. They’re just comic book adaptations. There’s a SLIGHT difference.
Anyway…McG gave an interview recently to MTV where he said a sequel to Terminator WILL happen if the first movie is a success. So…this is another possible franchise for Elfman.
Yea, it’s been 15 days. We should hear SOMETHING soon. Even if it’s just a few seconds in the website.
Any updates? I’ve already heard the scores for Wolverine and Star Trek. Terminator is the only big May picture missing. C’mon, Elfman. Deliver your hungry fans some music!!!
Elfman’s theme was Oscar nominated. He’ll return. Plus, Spielberg is the producer. He respects film composers.
If LaLa managed to sellout 3000 copies then maybe WB should consider selling it themselves to the wide market.
