    An interesting read. I’m almost more curious to hear the music that Beck wrote. If it was enough to scare movie execs, it must be great.

    Odd, the same sort of thing was happening with Elfman with BEETLEJUICE nearly twenty years ago. But we all know how that turned out….

    Christ. BEETLEJUICE – nearly twenty years ago. My God I’m actually getting OLD.

    I’m breathing a bit easier now. There is a movie from 1936 about Sweeney Todd – Victorain London, Horror – sound like great Burton manterial to me…

    I hope they stick with that route. Sounds better than RIPLEY, if I might add.

    Ahhh sh*t. This will suck is Burton sticks to the Sondheim musical. I’d love to see Burton to a version of the Demon Barber, but not as a musical. PLEASE GOD, I hope this story changes for the better.

    Yeah, it was a reminder note to Wayne Wang…..

    I doubt this was ever even shot…..

    This has been in “production” for some time and I’m sure it was just put onto imdb for publicity sake, and yes it is suposed to be a sequel to FZ.

    Ahhhhhh, whatever different people may think, I for one feel like her voice was a nice touch. Not too Elfman-sh, yes. But a helluva lot better than Horner or Zimmer.

    And how are Oompa Loompas “ethnic”?

    That wailing woman is Natasha Atlas – she even has some albums out. I believe she’s Greek and would be found in an international section of a music store….

    I’m not surprised at all that Elfman would use someone like her in his music.

    TESTIFY!!

    And as far as Lee pushing Elfman to not be too “Elfman” I seem to recall hearing Danny say on the DVD that he liked that…..

    And what theme did Danny incorporate of Dayna’s?!?! That’s the first I heard of that.

    I myself have always been picked-on for enjoying THE HULK – I though it was a good movie -so kill me!!

    I read months ago that Bana is not going to do it because it was going to be direct-to-video and that David Duchovney was going to star. But things change all the time, so who knows? With escalating costs for special effects, I don’t think we’ll see this on the big screen any time soon….

    Though, as a fan, I’m fully prepared to stick my foot in my mouth. And of course I’d love to hear Danny’s follow up approach to the score. But I think his music was about as ‘all out’ as it could have gotten.

    Interesting….

    I doubt the changes are being made in the US version though, still, what an odd thing for censors to demand changes on.

    Yeah, seeing how this is going to be straight-to-video, I doubt Danny will do it….
    Maybe Christopher Young has room in his schedule?

    Hardly Brad Bird? I disagree. I love how the canned dog food wiggles and slides out of the can. Great sound design too. That was great animation, take a second look. It may not have been CG, but it was still good looking stuff….

    Favorite Episode: REMOTE CONROL MAN – about some unhappy schlump who finds a high tech remote control and is able to turn every one in his family into someone from a TV show. Funny stuff. Look for Sid Haig in a small role.

    THE FAMILY DOG (where’s the CD with that music?) was great. I remember most of these episodes from when I was a kid, and I’m happy to see them coming out on DVD. Another great episode is Scorsese’s MIRROR,MIRROR about a horror novelist who is being stalked by a killer who only he can see in reflective surfaces. Sam Waterston starred, and I seem to recall Tim Robbins was the killer – looked just like Vincent Price from HOUSE OF WAX.

    While I myself am not anti-Tom Cruise, I just wished I saw and heard less of him. And when will Tom and Katie get married? Who knows, when does Tom have a new movie coming out?

    February 17th 2007. It’s from a german director whose last film was the controversial DOWNFALL about Hitler’s final days. This will be his first Hollywood film and it stars Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. This would also be the fourth remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS if you even consider this a remake at all. It sounds like a whole new script to me…..

    Can’t wait to hear it! Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to get a full CD of the score….

    Zimmer’s doing DA VINCI CODE? So what tiff did Ron Howard and James Horner have? I saw that Thomas Newman did CINDERELA MAN.

    Anybody know?

    So was Jon Amiel a fan of what Elfman did? I wonder, seeing how he has chosen not to work with him since. Interesting notes on SOMMERSBY though, I think his music is quite good on that one….

    Has Elfman ever had a rejected score?

    Yeah, I’d say it’s bullsh*t to. And wasn’t Danny brought on board to MISSION IMPOSSIBLE after Alan Silvestri’s score was rejected? Elfman was Tom Cruise’s choice, not De Palma’s . Cruise and DePalma did nothing but fight through the entire movie, so who knows if DePalma even liked working with Elfman, he probably gave up at that point…..

    From imdb:

    This is probably the lamest installment in the “Santo” series, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun! Once again, the good and noble Santo must battle mad scientists, monsters and evil masterminds before their terrible plans to take over the world come to fruition! There’s a mummy, a werewolf, a vampire and his seductive assistant, a hunchbacked midget, a really stupid looking cyclops and a pretty blond girlfriend for our hero to save from them all. There’s even an evil clone of the Blue Demon! It’s almost sacrilege to watch these two loyal buddies kick the crap out of each other!!! The plot is threadbare, the make-up effects are AWFUL, but who cares? It’s all about Santo giving the smackdown to some bad guys, both in and out of the wrestling ring. There’s no gore, no nudity or sex, just lots and lots of silly butt-kicking fun. In my opinion, there’s no such thing as a BAD Santo movie. There’s just cheesy, cheesier and cheesiest. This is the cheesiest, but that’s what makes it great. Santo fans should NOT miss this one.

    I almost have a hard time thinking that he’s doing it just for the money. Otherwise we’d of seen the ever popular NACHO LIBRE THEME by Danny Elfman. Additional score by John Debney. He he he. No, I think there’s something else here that got him interested, something that makes me now interested to see the film.

    Besides, I love Mexican Wrestling films, and perhaps this is Danny’s chance to do the closest thing to a SANTO film. And if you have not seen SANTO AND THE BLUE DEMON VERSUS THE MONSTERS you simply have not seen a mexican wrestling/horror movie

    Huh???

    Now I remember when listening to Elfman in the radio interview for LA’s Classical radio station back in December that he hates doing comedies. In fact he said something like “I’m the most unhappiest when doing things like this. I just don’t know what to do with a comedy” I’m paraphrasing of course.

    I wonder what interested him? Working with Jarred Hess? Doing a spanish based score? Or just doing a quickie gig that required little from him creatively, and just have some fun?

    I’ll bet it was the last one…

    Anyway, I’m excited to hear it.

    Yeah, well that’s what I thought…
    Maybe it was Elfman who wanted to do something else?
