Koray Savas 2,254 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Instead of creating a new thread I'll just stick this in here.Elfman did a lengthy Q&A at WB, moderated by Jeff Bond, not too long ago. He discusses Dark Shadows, his career with Burton, and a ton of other stuff. I can't remember much of the details since I watched it a couple weeks back, but I recall him stating Batman is his most overrated score and that Big Fish was the hardest Burton film to pen the music for.

KK 3,308 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 LeBlanc acts like he is the one who comes up with all the news. He is like "Hey, look at me ! I've got news !". I find that despicable. He tends to forget there is someone somewhere doing all the dirty work. A silent guardian, a watchful protector. They call him... The Messenger.Well I heard the Messenger was going into retirement, since nearly everyone else seems to be able to do his job better than he can these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once 680 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Danny Elfman Scoring Sacha Gervasi’s ‘Hitchcock,’ and ‘Promised Land’ From Gus Van SantI look forward to what he'll do with Hitchcock, him being such a big Herrmann fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 5,146 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 The curious thing is that that Hitch biopic tells the story of the making of Psycho.

KK 3,308 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wow, that is quite the coincidence! Elfman did a fine job for that Psycho remake though, so it'd be interesting to hear what he'll do with the Hitchcock pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,798 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wow. Pretty good physical similarity.

nightscape94 965 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 This opens the door for the forthcoming Spielberg, a behind the scenes, dramatic interpretation, about the making of "Jaws", with Jesse Eisenberg in the lead role and Daniel Day-Lewis as Williams.

John Dutton 7,338 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Why exactly are they making this? I know that Hitch was great and all, but I just never saw this type of biopic ever being made for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,404 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Is that a reason not to make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,254 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 My only concern is that it chronicles the production of a single film, but I guess Hitch wasn't that interesting of a person to warrant a life's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
