[horner1980]

Drei neue Projekte für Danny Elfman

 

Danny Elfman recently confirmed his involvement in three upcoming movies in a recent interview with Big Issue. The composer has recently finished his score for David O. Russell’s crime drama American Hustle. The film stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence. The movie tells the the story of a brilliant con man who, along with his seductive British partner is forced to work for a wild FBI agent who pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers. Russell (The Fighter, Three Kings) has co-written the screenplay with Eric Warren Singer (The International). Megan Ellison (Zero Dark Thirty, The Master), Charles Roven (The Dark Knight trilogy, Twelve Monkeys) and Richard Suckle (The International) are producing the project. Elfman has previously collaborated with the director on last year’s Silver Linings Playbook. American Hustle is set to be released on December 13, 2013 by Sony Pictures. For more information about the film, visit the official movie website.

Elfman is also scoring DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming feature Mr. Peabody & Sherman. The film is directed by Rob Minkoff (The Lion King, Stuart Little) and features the voice talent of Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Ariel Winter, Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann, Patrick Warburton, Stanley Tucci, Allison Janney, Mel Brooks, Lake Bell, Zach Callison and Dennis Haysbert. The movie is based on Jay Ward’s cartoon, which centers on Mr. Peabody, the world’s smartest person who happens to be a dog. Alex Schwartz and Denise Nolan Cascino (Megamind) are producing the film. The project marks Elfman’s first time working with DreamWorks Animation. The composer’s previous animated feature credits include Epic, Meet the Robinsons, A Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, Frankenweenie and this year’s Epic. Mr. Peabody & Sherman will be released on March 7, 2014 by 20th Century Fox. For updates on the film, visit the official movie website.

Finally, the composer will also be reuniting with Tim Burton on the comedic drama Big Eyes. The film’s cast includes Christoph Waltz, Amy Adams, Danny Huston, Krysten Ritter, Terence Stamp and Jason Schwartzman. The movie is based on the true story of painter Margaret Keane and her husband Walter, who took credit for his wife’s work. Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood, Man on the Moon, 1408) have written the screenplay and are also producing the project with Burton and Lynette Howell (The Place Beyond the Pines, Blue Valentine) for Electric City Entertainment. Big Eyes is currently in post-production and is expected to be release in 2014 by the Weinstein Company.

[Soundtrack Composer]

Auch hier gibts den Score in voller Länge:

[Csongor]

Das Geklopfe spricht mich alleinstehend nicht sonderlich an, klingt im Film bestimmt wesentlich besser.

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Welches Geklopfe?

 

Anyway: einer der uninspiriertesten, konzeptlosesten Elfman-Scores to date. Tödlich langweiliger Mix aus vor sich hin dümpelnden Klaviertupferchen, Streicher-Liegetönen und ein paar monotonen Percussions.

 

Wüsste echt nicht, wie man daraus einen einigermaßen unterhaltsamen CD-Schnitt basteln könnte.

oje, da hatte ich mich auf nen schön melodischen Score gefreut... :-(

Kein reiner Score-Release für Big Eyes

 

Interscope Records will release a soundtrack album for Tim Burton’s comedy drama Big Eyes. The album features selections from the film’s original score composed by Danny Elfman (Spider-Man, Batman, Alice in Wonderland, A Nightmare Before Christmas). Also included are the original songs Big Eyes and I Can Fly performed by Lana Del Rey, as well as tracks by Miles Davis, The Lively Ones, Red Garland Trio, Carl Tjader & more. The soundtrack is now available to download on Amazon, where you can also listen to audio clips. Big Eyes is directed and produced by Burton, written by Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski and stars Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz, Krysten Ritter, Danny Huston, Jason Schwartzman and Terence Stamp. The movie tells the true story of Walter Keane, who was one of the most successful painters of the 1950s and early 1960s whose art, as was later revealed, was actually not created by him at all, but by his wife, Margaret. The dramedy will be released on December 25, 2014 by the Weinstein Company. For updates on the film, visit the official movie website.

Das digitale Album (ohne Tracks 3, 4, 6 und 7) gibt es doch schon seit ein paar Tagen bei Spotify.

Wie er selbst in einem Interview sagt ist es ein kleiner leichter minimaler Score.

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Die Musik trägt noch nicht mal die 21 Minuten auf dem Album. Da hätten ein, zwei Cues völlig ausgereicht. 

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Ich warte auf die CD.

Der Score ist wahrlich ungewöhnlich. Das dürfte der ungewöhnlichste Score sein, den Elfman bisher für Burton geschrieben hat. Die Musik zielt tatsächlich mehr auf eine atmosphärische Untermalung ab, als auf auffällige Themen oder großes Orchester. Als Komposition sicherlich Elfman auf ganz kleiner Sparflamme, aber trotzdem hat mich die Musik, nachdem sie anfänglich nur nebenher lief, irgendwann doch zum genauen Hinhören animiert. Ja, es ist hauptsächlich "sphärisches Gewaber" mit eingestreuten Piano-Tupfern, aber der eine oder andere Track liess mich doch aufhorchen.

 

Ob es wirklich eine CD geben wird (zu AMERICAN HUSTLE erschien zuerst auch nur die Download-Variante) wird sich zeigen. Ein schlechtes Omen ist allerdings, dass der Film in den USA ziemlich abgesoffen ist, hat nach knapp zwei Wochen gerade mal knapp über 10 Millionen Dollar eingespielt. Nach den mäßigen Zahlen von DARK SHADOWS und FRANKENWEENIE wohl der nächste Sargnagel für Burtons Karriere.
