I got the STAR WARS one from a friend a few years back. I’ll have to look for the BATMAN one to satisfy my obsessive collector side.
I’m kind of confused by this fascination with this 1 to 2 seconds of music not in the film being on an album. If for example, someone in T4 gets a robot skewer through their face, it’s likely the filmmakers will snip less than a second of material and insert a cutaway.
To better understand just how little is trimmed to get a rating, take for example MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN. I believe the unrated DVD runs 10 seconds longer than the R-rated theatrical cut. If you consider the amount of gore violence in that film, 10 seconds is a blink of an eye.
The difference between an R rated film and a PG-13 one can be as little as a few seconds. I don’t think you’ll see whole sequences deleted.
Yeah, I agree. It’s the law of diminishing returns. There are few really great series out there — one could argue that STAR WARS is really only 3 great films, forget the rest. I don’t want to see Elfman tied down to anything, and much prefer the diversity.
I haven’t heard anything, but to be honest, I don’t care at this point. I didn’t like SPIDER-MAN 3, and we’ve got DRAG ME TO HELL coming out, which is all my little mind can think about at this point. This is the real Sam, my favorite film director, and thankfully he’s back!
This article, posted yesterday states:
Ksander said the “dark” look of the film really attracted people. “People were coming from other big studios to work on our film, and people were getting excited.” And Danny “Oingo Boingo” Elfman is scoring the film with Acker right now. He added, “the feature film feels like the same world as the short.”

Which DVD? The original BVHV special edition or last year’s re-release (that coincided with Blu Ray)?
I’m kind of confused why you are here and yet you still need to listen to samples and ask for recommendations for a Danny Elfman score? It should be a given,as an Elfman fan, that when an album comes out, you get it, as soon as humanly possible.
The original release date was May 2009, if I recall correctly.
I don’t think WOLF MAN has been recorded yet. TERMINATOR 4 goes to London to record very soon.
1989 — BATMAN in movie theatres. Lining up an hour before showtime, line went outside the mall. It was an event, and I was the perfect age (12). The main titles changed me — like a radioactive spider bite, I now had new powers of perception.
I of course had seen PEE-WEE and BEETLEJUICE in theatres, but it was the perfect alchemy of being 12, BATMAN and that summer of ’89 that forever made me a fan.
I’ve been living with BATMAN for almost 20 years. Longer with BATMAN than without.
Not sure what your point here is. But if you think about it, Raimi probably had a lot more to say on the commentary for parts 1 and 2 than he did by the time part 3 rolled around.
I think you are mis-interpreting what Sam is saying. I think it’s meant as a joke — as in Raimi has realized LoDuca’s music sounds too much like BATMAN, so he’s going to call and take a strip off him! Raimi’s sense of humor is very dry at times.
There was an Elfman reaction shot (top right corner in the split screen), and he looked quite happy for Rahman.
I don’t think Raimi hates Elfman or vice versa. It’s likely that Raimi wanted to give a shout out to Young who was more than willing to go the extra mile to please his boss.
Well there’s no reason to call it “epic” when it’s a documentary film, and a documentary film about U.S. military prison torture!
Here’s a new one:
“Robert Downey Jr and Reese Witherspoon are in talks to star in Warner Bros’ The Days Before and Timur Bekmambetov is in negotiations to direct, according to Production Weekly.
Produced by 300 producer Gianni Nunnari, the sci-fi action spec script was written by Chad St. John (who previously worked on the unproduced script The Further Adventures of Doc Holiday for Bruce Willis). Days Before tells the story of a race of aliens who invade Earth by traveling backwards through time and wiping out humanity, one day at a time, yesterday by yesterday. One man attempts to stay “a yesterday ahead of them”, and every time he must try to convince the world that “the end is coming”, again.
Sounds like a promising sci-fi concept, and if Downey Jr is in fact involved, I’m in. Bekmambetov is an extremely visual director, notable for the Night Watch series and most recently the American comic book adaptation Wanted.”
