I doubt he will bail like THE VISITING, because I don’t believe we saw any studio material that had Elfman tied to THE VISITING, therefore it couldn’t be confirmed that he was even signed.

I see that Tim has hired Darius Wolski, who shot the PIRATES OF THE CARRIBBEAN MOVIES, nice move and Dante Ferretti as production designer, who has worked extensively with Martin Scorsese. It’s an almost fresh Burton team!

Just read that the MEET THE ROBINSONS soundtrack album (tentatively set for 3/27) will also feature a performance of “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” the main theme from Carousel of Progress, performed by They Might Be Giants.

It makes sense to release this in late Summer anyways. It struck me as an odd choice for a Winter release.
Ryan
Yeah it’s extremely difficult to find that address as the page that contains it is only linked from every page on this site…!

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

They 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.

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

There 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.
Ryan
Ooh – almost right
The last cue is “Prelude and Outer Space”, and yes the first half is all SLEEPY HOLLOW.Ryan
The recent perf with the Detroit Symphony will be broadcasted in the future. When on what, I don’t know yet. More soon hopefully.

I 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!
Ryan
I 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.
Ryan
Well 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.
