There isn’t any score in this film outside Sondheim’s own compositions, as far as I know. Hence there is nothing for Elfman to do. So NO, he is NOT scoring this film AT ALL.

Actually, Edmund Meisel wrote the original score for BATTLESHIP, but there are other versions out there, with excerpts of Shostakovich symphonies.
This was actually rereleased a couple of months ago. Too bad for me, because about two years ago I shelled out $40 for the old, hard-to-get release.
In any case, it’s great to have this Bernard Herrmann-inspired Williams score widely available again. I should note, however, that there were some problems with the first batch of rereleased CD’s (some digital fluttering). This was later rectified, but perhaps it would be best to check/ask before you buy. For more details about this, see the following thread:

Hei du! Så utrolig kuult å finne en annen nordmann her inne!!
Don’t worry…I was just greeting him/her in Norwegian. I would never have imagined another Norwegian in here. Of all the joints in the world…etc.
Well, there’s the Elfman Zone, but it is far less active than this.
What dates BOTH boards, though, is the tree-format messageboard. Hopefully, the new redesign will include the up-to-date “ultimate” messageboard look a la the one at http://www.filmscoremonthly.com and many others.
Indeed. Especially not considering much of Elfman’s own score is inspired by what Schifrin wrote for the original series.
I DO have Flash installed, but it still doesn’t work. And the (corrected?) link you provided still gives me the following message:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /movs/nacho_libre_im_nacho_large.mov on this server.
The fact is that the review doesn’t even talk about the music very much. But at least it was positive in tone (more or less).
Hmmm….neither of the links worked for me. The first forwarded me to a site with a large gap in the middle (obviously where the video should be be) while the second gave me a “forbidden” message. Anyone else experience the same?
Hey, those are some amazing pieces, man!! I can’t believe how authentic the samplers are. “Ghost in Love” had some of that gothic CORPSE BRIDE/TALES FROM THE CRYPT-like quality with the harpschicord and everything. THE MAD SCIENTIST was just a tongue-in-cheeky freaky piece somewhere between PEE WEE and NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. You’ve got talent, David!

Yes, and in the case of SOMMERSBY, the producers eventually decided to make the film LESS a suspense romance and more a REGULAR romance. So Elfman’s score had to adapt to that.
