It’s funny, the plot of the movie is a lot like the Green Hornet comic series that Kevin Smith is writing. I always kinda assumed that his comic is an adaptation of his unproduced Green Hornet script, this trailer may confirm my suspicions.
Ha, ha. This is the only movie missing from your Potential Work For Elfman thread.
Apparently Paul Higgis is on Elfman’s “directors I want to work with list.” Makes sense. I’d have him on my list too.
Now, I, myself, know little about this movie, but given Elfman’s recent track record (e.g., Alice, Wolfman, Terminator) this score will no doubt be unmelodic and dull.
I don’t think they’ll be hiring a big name composer for the Ninja Turtle movie.
That said, Michael Bay, huh? I can’t wait to see how he objectifies April O’Neal.
When was Danny a music hugger?
Oh no, I’m saying they’re bitter that he always gets high-profile scores. For example, he is the musical darling in the super hero realm.
I liked the Sherlock Homes score, as well. Very tuneful.
Danny even acknowledged in an interview that Hans Zimmer was right to credit everyone in the music creation process.
And he should, too!
Does Hans Zimmer need to compose every darn movies these days?
It’s funny, that’s exactly what the Elfman-haters say about Danny.
I don’t think Danny would have had very much freedom under Nolan’s watch, considering all of his movie’s have very similar scores. At any event, the trailer looks great.
Yeah, they’ll probably go for the original Jerry Goldsmith score.
Man, I don’t think any director today would buy into that Goldsmith score. It’s way too progressive. How ironic…
I would check out Prokofiev for other Elfman infuences.
There’s a little Alexander Nevsky in The Frighteners.
If so, it will be the first time Elfman completes a trilogy on “his own”.
Ha. After many years of trying, yes.
I just hope the humor in this new one doesn’t fall flat like the second one.
Then again, we got Men in Black lounge music in the last one, so I can’t complain too much.
Weren’t the South Park guys referencing themselves with that Burton snipe, since they were rehashing all their old ideas in that episode?
For example, I’m pretty sure what attracted elfman in a project like Flubber was more the “mambo-like” ideas, than the movie itself.
Certainly. Plus, Danny had a three-picture deal with Disney at that time.
I’m pretty sure Elfman would have awesome ideas for a Twilight movie, no matter what the movie looks like…
Remember that he worked with Peter Jackson on the Frighteners simply because he wanted to collaborate with that director…Because of Heavenly Creatures, if I recall. Danny does that with many of his movies. It certainly explains why he’d score Terminator Salvation.
As a composer, I totally see how someone could me musically inspired by a project, even if the movie itself isn’t that good…
Well, like I said, Danny loves working with Gus; however, I don’t see Gus Van Sant taking the job. It would be interesting though. Gus really lets Danny run wild.
So… will every Twilight film have a different main theme?
Now, I’m not going to speak for Elfman, however, knowing his tastes, I bet he thinks these movies are immeasurably stupid. That said, he *loves* working with Gus.
A friend of mine wrote this. There’s a cute little Elfman reference. Thought some might find it amusing.

I’m happy that he’s really been hitting the stop motion, again.
I love those old Adam’s Family drawings; I can see that Burton was inspired by them.
I love the Scrooged/Pee-wee riff that child-Danny sings. (I’m sure that’s how all Elfman haters hear his music.)
Some amusing Burton film stereotypes there, but in actuality, Burton’s films these days are far less predictable, thematically, than they where in the past.
And for the record, studios come to him to do the remakes, not the other way around!
Well, I’m more interested in looking at a debate where people dump on the movie that they haven’t even seen yet.
That’s easy to find
Ha, ha. Indeed. Any suggestions?
