THE WOLFMAN
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Danny Elfman
Benicio Del Toro
Anthony Hopkins
Emily Blunt

Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar® winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother…and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Lawrence Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate. As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself…one he never imagined existed.

The classically Gothic, Transylvania-flavored score is by Danny Elfman.

Universal opens THE WOLFMAN nationwide on February 12.

Somehow I don’t think Tim Burton’s been getting the Friend Discount

PINEAPPLE was genius compared to OBSERVE & REPORT, the most inept, amateurish, sloppy, piss-poor excuse for a studio-made movie I saw in 2009.

We found you out, Thor!

You’re obviously reading the wrong website…

[Ryan Keaveney]

I don’t know if I could afford him!

[Ryan Keaveney]

I can’t find any fault with the CHARLIE score. Yes, the songs are great, but there’s so much to the score — the amazing main title, the “River Cruise” music, the great glass elevator stuff. I love the score!

[Ryan Keaveney]

I’d like to see them needle-drop a vintage pop or lounge version of “Flight of The Bumblebee” and let Elfman write his score seperate.

Listen to the podcast and you’ll hear it

[Ryan Keaveney]

Uh, FSM might not appreciate that. There was a huge flip out on their msg board when someone did that. Oh well, John did it, not me!

The latest issue of FSM Online has a 27 minute audio podcast by the Kaplan Bros. They talk about TERMINATOR SALVATION, and then preview about 20 seconds of Elfman’s THE WOLF MAN

You’ve gotta pay and login, but it might be your only way to hear this for awhile…

This won’t be THE DARK KNIGHT, it’ll be TWILIGHT — that’s exactly the audience they are making the next film for.

Cover art!

CD listing at Amazon (due March 2 from Disney Records)

I think he does. He lives in London, afterall. And who doesn’t hate L.A.? Try to get a cab on Highland… HAHA

As if this official website music thing isn’t complicated enough, according to the official Twitter account for ALICE:

“importantdate: The official #Alice site now features Danny Elfman’s score from the film: http://ow.ly/VcQP”

Huh?

[Ryan Keaveney]

It’s getting worse.

“Avril Lavigne is going down the rabbit hole. The singer has officially landed a track called “Alice Underground” on the soundtrack of Tim Burton’s upcoming re-imagination of “Alice in Wonderland,” according to Variety. “

I’m lucky. The exhibit will setup in Australia and then Toronto. It’ll be 10 minute walk from my place

[Ryan Keaveney]

I haven’t watched THE SIMPSONS in 10 years. And yes, we get FOX in Canada. But Hulu geo-targets U.S. only.

[Ryan Keaveney]

Thanks! I was hoping this would eventually be added to Rose’s website.

[Ryan Keaveney]

I have no idea, and my Canadian ass can’t view the vid!

[Ryan Keaveney]

Why won’t you go away!?!?

Pete Wentz:

“We did a song for Alice in Wonderland. [We] might do a few more depending on when [Mark] goes in with Blink. [It] sounds nothing like Blink or Fall Out Boy. Mark understands songwriting on a completely different level. It’s awesome to have a chance to sit in a room with him and watch him work out a melody.”

“A spokesperson for Walt Disney Records — who will be releasing the soundtrack — told MTV News that at the moment, no track list has been confirmed but an announcement will be made “in the coming weeks.”

That’s not a new trailer — it debuted at the end of October. About a week later Elfman was fired from the film!

[Ryan Keaveney]

I have it listed as ’85, but that is clearly wrong! I think the official date for FZ is ’82.

I actually just re-watched PEE-WEE on Friday night and wondered when the complete score – as recorded for the film – would be released. I beloeve that is up to Varese as they hold the album rights.

Stay tuned for THE FLASH. That’s coming in 2010

Danny recorded 1:42:25 worth of music for the film. I don’t know specifically which cues were left out of the film (I’d have to watch it again). The only cues with alternates are the opening (“Marcus’ Death” – my guess was the opening of the film was recut and Elfman’s two cues were shortened) and “Marcus Decides” (one with Fiedel’s TERMINATOR theme and one without.)
