I knew TJ Lindgren was credited for additional arrangements on Oz however I did not know the score had any additional music b/c nobody received any credit for it during the closing credits or in the liner notes of the soundtrack album. Did Mounsey assist Elfman on those Epic and Oz cues or just wrote ’em himself? I agree I wish it was made more clear who wrote what under these circumstances.
Clive Barker’s Nightbreed came out in February of that same year. And Walker wrote a cue for that film. Elfman was touring then too? And that’s the first I’ve heard about Dick Tracy having additional music. You have any proof the music from that trailer above was written by Walker instead of Elfman?.
Well Elfman found time to write music for one of the “Edward Scissorhands” trailers, which was included on the Intrada expanded reissue album.
Yes the liner notes of the Varese Sarabande album of Real Steel credits TJ Lindgren’s assistance on three cues “Atom Vs Twin Cities”, “Twin Cities’ Intro”, and “This Is A Brawl”.
Yeah it’s frustrating as an Elfman fan. Especially when even his small films have additional composers. It’s probably why some of his more recent scores are lacking that Elfman touch. And I thought Oz didn’t have any additional composers.
Pity it isn’t complete and chronological. Really was hoping some label would reissue an expanded re-mastered cd version of “Nightbreed“. Who knows maybe some day.

Hopefully they include the music from this trailer.
I’m still holding out hope that one of the labels are releasing a pressed cd of Elfman’s score only in the near future .

Wow! Just when I thought I couldn’t get anymore excited for this movie. Wonder if this means more MCU scores from Elfman? Somewhat ironic that Elfman’s writing additional music for Avengers 2 instead of the upcoming Fantastic 4 reboot since one of his idols (Phillip Glass) is involved in that one.
Wow! I didn’t expect to be in the minority (on this forum at least) who liked The Next Three Days. Underrated score and movie, imo.
