Wrong. Michael Kamen died (he scored THE IRON GIANT for Brad Bird too) and he was replaced by Giacchino
Hmmmm….? An American version of 8 1/2? I’s sure love to hear some more Elfman inspired Rota-esque music. I’m intrigued…
But this Alice movie is such a blah idea. Been there, seen that.
His choices are lazy, not just in film projects, but in design and in making of his movies. Burton and his team (whether or not they change from film to film, just look to be treading water with an uninspired master at the helm. I used to love his stuff, but man…. I’ve crammed my Tim Burton movie section to the bottom of my shelf.
I hear ya. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again – Burton is no longer making interesting choices. He’s lost his edge.
I spoke to some folks at La La Land records a while back and they said they’ve been working on producing Walker’s Flash and Batman: The Animated Series soundtracks. Also in their pipeline, is music for the vastly under-appreciated Willard remake. This pleases me so, since Ryan consistently refuses my offers for a copy of his promo CD…
If it’s true, I say 10 to 1 it’s Del Toro. Like Raimi and Jackson (both previous Elfman collaborators that I highly doubt he will ever work with again) methinks some of these “visionary” directors are going mad with power. I’ve worked on some Raimi projects and the is simply bonkers. There’s artistry and there’s mico-management. I’m left thinking about the words of my mentor; you get the most talented people together and let them do their best work. Not much of that anymore.
And besides, if people are unhappy with Elfman’s work – won’t Beltrami pick up the slack?
What kind of research and how much wider should the net be? If you could have the finished piece, resting in your hands, what would it contain?
You’re thinking of Elliot Goldenthall. To my knowledge, Elfman usually stays away from super hero-type movies.
Yeah, this is exactly the kind of music that I expected post-Sereneda. Both Charlotte’s Web and The Kingdom were hard for me to fully digest, but this music reminds me of what I love about Elfman. I’ll be listening to this one for a long time…
That’s great news. And wasn’t Elfman doing A LIFE BEYOND HER EYES? The latest from HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG director? I see that he stuck with predictable old Horner once again…
