Elfman re-posted some video from the scoring stage on IG yesterday, so safe to assume that he is still involved.
This is the Elfman that I love. It’s like his recent classical work cross-pollinated with MILK and DARK SHADOWS.
The movies that Elfman worked on at the beginning of his career have always been criticized. I watch the movie and thought it was fine. There’s no room for middle-of-the-road movies anymore, it seems. It’s either the greatest or the worst. And then it’s forgotten about.
Hoping for a soundtrack release. I quite liked what I heard.
Raimi basically confirmed that he is directing this. Fingers crossed for Elfman to jump on board too.
What a good mail week! Just my copy in the mail a day after LLL’s DARKMAN. Two of my fave Elfman scores with brand new editions back-to-back,
Got mine yesterday. I decided to re-watch the movie on Monday night and it holds up great. I never noticed some of the optical effects before — like the split screen shot of the dock in front of Peyton’s building on the bottom third of the frame. It was fun seeing some of these LA locations again with adult eyes.
Very excited to dive into all this unreleased music.Yes, Ryan already pointed that out to me. Hadn’t listened to the score in FOREVER, but somehow that secondary theme by Schifrin stayed with me and I don’t think I ever heard it in any other MI movies. Or at least, not as prominently.
Its funny that you just posted this, as I just saw Mission: Impossible Fallout yesterday (its as great as they say it is).
While watching the film, I noticed that Lorne Balfe prominently reuses a variation of a sub-theme from Elfman’s MI soundtrack. You really hear it during the climactic helicopter chase. Has anyone else noticed this?
Has anyone actually seen the movie yet? I caught it last weekend and really enjoyed it. I think that the bonus cues from the MP3 version of the soundtrack are not actual cues from the film, and probably just tacked on as “bonus tracks”. I didn’t expect it to be as funny as it was. “Auntie Tia” comes in during a very memorable and funny sequence.
I’ve listened to it all the way through once, doing it again as I write this. I love what I’m hearing so far. Track 17 (John’s Speech) is a re-orchestrated version of Oli’s Lullaby from Standard Operating Procedure.
Good lord. That was some dizzyingly unwatchable dreck. Good music though. So, this is not in the original movie?
I hear a lot of other super hero homages in here. “The Amazon Mother Box” starts off with a reprise of Elfman’s HULK theme. I’m pretty into this soundtrack. Naysayers be dammed.
Just one Batman theme? Can’t wait to hear it
