Ollie 1,059 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 http://burtonelfman.com/There was a blurb posted at FSM a few weeks ago that Elfman and Warner Bros Records executives would be at Comic-Con to announce something special as well as a discussion with Elfman.

Jay 37,346 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Huh. I wonder what will be inside it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 As much as I like Elfman, he's my second favorite composer, I find it hard to get too exited about this, considering Batman is out already, Batman Returns is coming soon, Edward, Beetlejuice, Mars Attacks, Corpse Bride have isolated scores on DVD and Nightmare Before Christmas, which I love is Disney not Warner.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hopefully it's just not a collection of the already released OSTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Isn't Edward Scissorhands 20th Century Fox?You're right though, I didn't realize that this was a WB box, that would likely only have WB scores (unless they do re-recordings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Perhaps this is the reason why Batman was limited even though it was recorded in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,684 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hopefully it's just not a collection of the already released OSTs.That was my thought as well, but given that this looks like a mass market thing, I have a hard time believing WB would unearth new material for such a box.And the only Elfman score I'd like more music from is Sleepy Hollow which is Paramount.

Trent B 337 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'll most likely skip on this set. Diego is probably right, that's why Batman was limited...maybe it might be in this set. All though that'll be a cheap thing to do considering that La-La Land is releasing it in a limited form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,684 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yeah I wouldn't buy this either. I'm merely curious at what'll be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Whatever may be in this box, at least I see it as more evidence that Warner is getting more and more serious about the score market and that is a good thing. Bring on the Potter boxset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Holy shit!The set, which includes art from Burton, will also have 14 CDs, a DVD and a book with interviews and a conversation between the two men.From http://www.wired.com...t-danny-elfman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fommes 153 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well there are 13 Elfman-Burton films. I wonder what's going to be on it. Will the LLL Batmans be on it by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 A Burton/Elfman boxset without some form of Batman makes little sense I think. Perhaps they'll only include the 2nd CD from the LLL set, which is the album remastered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 13 Burton-Elfman collaborations. 12 if you don't count The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was produced by Tim Burton but directed by Henry Selick.Pee-wee's Big Adventure -- I would love a complete official score, but I make doBeetlejuice -- The OST is enough for meBatman -- I'll buy LLR's albumEdward Scissorhands -- The OST is enough for meBatman Returns -- The OST will hold me over until LLR's arrivesThe Nightmare Before Christmas -- I've never been interested enough to buy the OSTMars Attacks! -- I never saw it so I never got the LLR albumSleepy Hollow -- I've never been interested enough to buy the OSTPlanet of the Apes -- I've never been interested enough to buy the OSTBig Fish -- I never saw it, so I never got the OSTCharlie and the Chocolate Factory -- I didn't care for it, so having the music would always be a reminderCorpse Bride -- the movie was ok, but I don't have the OSTAlice in Wonderland -- I never saw it, so I never got the OSTHmmm. I definitely have a deluxe-box shaped hole in my Elfman-Burton collection, but I don't think I have the interest to do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 They already did so for "Music For A Darkened Theater Volume 2"Yeah, but that's just snippets really, and they didn't include any of the film's songs other than the demo. I'm guessing being a 14 CD set, they'll include the whole thing. Besides I feel Nightmare's popularity has grown over the years, it seems strange to me that Disney would do that, good for them though. It would be very cool if we get any unlreleased stuff, although I don't think there's much, probably less than 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hmmm I think whoever said 12 collaborations was wrong, I count 13:1: Pee Wee's Big Adventure2: Beetlejuice3: Batman4: Edward Scissorhands5: Batman Returns6: The Nightmare Before Christmas7: Mars Attacks!8: Sleepy Hollow9: Planet Of The Apes10: Big Fish11: Charlie And The Chocolate Factory12: The Corpse Bride13: Alice In WonderlandSo I betcha it's the 13 OSTs plus one disc of raritiesEDIT: Just saw Wojo posted pretty much the same thing. I think that Nightmare Before Christmas would DEFINITELY be included - just because Burton didn't direct it doesn't mean its not a Burton/Elfman collaboration.

Diego 21 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Sweeney Todd has no reason to be included, I don't think Elfman was involved at all.So it'll be the 13 OST and a bonus disc. Not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Expensive for one film score, yes.This is 13 film scores. I'm sure the price will be reasonable. To anyone who doesn't already own more than probably 2 of the OSTs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I wonder if it won't contain the OST's at all, in favor of outtakes, demos, and other rarities. 14 discs of outtakes and demos would be excessive, but unless some of LLR's contributions are being repackaged into this set, a few albums will be obsolete right out of the gate.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Can't get excited for this, but what I did think of immediately was Warner maybe doing some kind of Harry Potter set similar to this.

indy4 155 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hmmm...as much as I love Elfman, I'm not aware of any essential unreleased music. I don't even know if I would buy an expanded Edward Scissorhands, no matter how undeniably masterful the score is. But I will definitely consider this and think about it quite a bit. The price, rather than the contents, will probably be the deciding factor for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofDestiny 71 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just tell me one thing. Any expansion/unreleased material on this set? Or just re-issue of existing OST plus bonus disc? If it have any unreleased things from ES, I will buy it even it contain others 13 useless CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I think I'll be content with the complete releases of Batman and Batman Returns. It would be nice to have all of those OST's (because I don't have most of them), but I don't think it would be worth it with the estimated price.

Andy 4,119 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The timing of this is incredibly awkward, given the LaLaLand releases of Mars Attacks, Batman, and the upcoming Batman Returns. Amazing that they are soliciting fans for input, yet bizarre given everyone's desire to avoid crossover with the LLL discs. It might help if they were to declare the target audience and overall goal of the box set. Is this to be a rarities/alternates repository for the fan who has everything already, or is it a "best of" compilation for the casual fan?

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 You need to rectify that as soon as possibleI'm keeping my eyes on this box set for that very reason. I think I'm the only person here who would be more excited about a box of basic Elfman scores, than a box just full of rarities and out-takes. Of course, if it was a mixture of the two I'd be thrilled too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 What I don't understand is this:LaLaLand has just released a complete Batman, including also the OST presentation on Disc 2. They're planning to release Batman Returns this fall, presumably again including a remastered OST.So, which versions will be on this boxset? Will they take LLL's masters and just repackage them? Or will it be just the remastered OST with bonus tracks tacked at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
