KeymasterLet’s keep it on topic, please. This has nothing to do with John Williams.

KeymasterMy least favourite Elfman score. Well, it’s really the only one I don’t like. Sorry!
Ryan

KeymasterYeah it’s extremely difficult to find that address as the page that contains it is only linked from every page on this site…!

KeymasterThe entire score doesn’t really remind me of Elfman, but “The River” is a helluva lot like DOLORES CLAIBORNE.

KeymasterThey are both working on the music for SPIDER-MAN 3. Elfman’s new and old themes, Young adapting them and writing the rest of the score.

KeymasterIt is Philip Glass. I can’t confirm it because I don’t have the CD at hand, but it is possiblly POWAQQATSI.

KeymasterThere are probably a dozen re-recordings of the piece, from Herrmann himself to Erich Kunzel to Silva Screen. I’m sorry but I really don’t know what recording it is.

KeymasterOoh – almost right
The last cue is “Prelude and Outer Space”, and yes the first half is all SLEEPY HOLLOW.Ryan

KeymasterI just don’t want some Elfman fan to feel like someone they admire wasn’t admired by the most admired film composer of all time. Does that make sense? There’s no reason to open and feed threads on this msg board with potentially negative subjects. Let’s keep it strictly to worship, folks!

KeymasterI don’t get it. Do you like Elfman? Then where does Goldsmith factor into things? Judging by the upcoming book by Jerry’s daughter, Goldsmith didn’t like a whole helluva lot of anything.

KeymasterWith all due respect to Mr. Goldsmith, does it even matter?
Ryan
Ryan Keaveney
KeymasterWell there’s the expense, locating talent, recording the songs, having them approved by the filmmakers, etc. I think the initial post figured that the songs – due to those difficulties – would be subtitled in the local language. That may very well be the case for smaller territories.

KeymasterI can now confirm: Elfman is writing new themes for SPIDER-MAN 3 and Chris Young will integrate the major themes from the first two pictures into his own score.

KeymasterAre you sure you weren’t completely drunk? You know… Before I check for myself.

KeymasterYep – that’s the actual logo. I don’t have that as a font.
Ryan
Ryan Keaveney
KeymasterDanny – the font is “Futura Light” from the “Futura” font family and is usually included with Macs and sometimes PCs. There is a free fixed-width variation out there and I believe it’s called “Futurist”, if you don’t want to shell out for “Futura”.

KeymasterFYI – if that was posted on this board than they were probably referring to the cues that Elfman wrote — “Doc Ock Is Born” and “Train / Appreciation” — that are actually on Elfman’s score CD.
