JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Dave has good tastes then! I dunno, they probably watch The Mentalist togetherWe Do! The Mentalist, Elementary, CSI Las Vegas, Criminal Minds, 2 Broke Girls, Big Bang Theory, Moms, Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Hawaii 5-0. I thought we watched more CBS. Oh well. ABC we watch the Goldbergs and S.H.I.E.L.D., NBC, nothing, Fox just Sleepy Hollow and CW the Flash.I watch a ton of basketball this time of year at the expense of any show.Remember I'm over 50 and it's the Law.

Jay 37,364 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yea - I actually like all 3 of the LOST-influenced dramas that premiered the fall season after LOST's first season - CBS's Threshhold (love that Carla Gugino!), ABC's Invasion, and NBC's Surface (love that Lake Bell!).

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Elfman's no lightweight composer, there's no way they'd just call him to do additional music; you can get anyone else for that same thing much cheaper. Maybe it's something ala Army of Darkness, composing an important theme but not the actual score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Maybe Brian Tyler was too busy working on Furious 7 so Danny Elfman had to compose some new cues to fit re-editing of the film.Tyler's score was recorded starting January 18 in at Abbey Road with the London Philharmonic.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sure, but why go to the trouble of hiring Elfman? Surely one of Tyler's additional guys could have done it just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 What I find really puzzling is:1) Why is Elfman even taking an additional music gig in the first place?2) How the hell is it supposed to mesh with Brian Tyler's score?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Maybe Elfman recently got hired to score Civil War or Doctor Strange, and the filmmakers wanted to introduce thematic material for one of those in this film.Or maybe it's a Spider-man thing.Or maybe Whedon's just a big fan Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 You're all assuming Marvel still wants Brian Tyler. Most likely he got kicked off the project and Elfman got hired to not replace entirely but fill in the gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 454 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Koray, Elfman usually isn't a fill-in-the-gaps composer like Debney and Christopher Young. You hire him to write a theme or score your whole film, not bits and pieces.Apparently Elfman made an exception this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Time constraints? There's still 9 weeks to go until the film comes out. Plenty of time to write a complete score. Nah, Elfman must've been hired for very specific reasons / scenes / themes, not because Whedon or Marvel didn't like what Tyler did. Sleepy Hollow just aired its season finale and Furious 7 is in the can; Tyler would be available right now to rework his own score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It could be a Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor situation where Tyler moved to work on something else and wasn't available to rescore certain scenes.Posters on other forums are kinda jumping to conclusions that Elfman is using his Spider-Man or Hulk themes (really?).

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah. Luck gets you in the door, partially, but it doesn't keep you afloat once you're there and it doesn't get you the big gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's less luck and more effort though. I get the impression that Young is just a more uncompromising composer, and he doesn't seek out or lunge at every opportunity. Seems content to do just his thing.

lonzoe 18 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Disney unveiled the terrible one-sheet artwork.http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?pid=38060&disp=ilib&oty=1&oid=59571Interesting how the crew legend says "Additional Music By Danny Elfman". Elfman wouldn't get billed on the main credits if they tracked in some of his music, would he?Did not see that coming. Wonder if he’ll be involved in anymore upcoming MCU movies? Anyways it's pretty cool to have the king of superhero scores assist the MCU music department's golden boy on this project. Now if only Marvel could hire John Williams to compose the themes or scores to Avengers: Infinity Wars Part I and II and we’ll be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
