Thor 7,520 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes, I read about this awhile back. Seems like a tailormade project. Always thought Shaiman's feature film score owed a lot to Elfman, and now Elfman (hopefully) gets to do his own spin on the material. At the very least a theme.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 They've given Wednesday supernatural powers and put her in a boarding school where she solves crimes or something?

Jay 37,373 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 I didn't even consider that Elfman might score this.

No, this sounds like it has real potential. I’m a huge Burton fan, so my opinion’s obviously colored by that. But there’s nothing bad about the premise, and while using an Addams Family frame is far from original, if that’s what it takes to get Netflix to produce Burton, then so be it. And it goes without saying that the prospect of an Elfman score is too tantalizing to ignore! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMefford 1,509 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Pass. Sounds like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina but with Wednesday Addams for some reason. Why not just reboot Addams Family as a series? That sounds like more fun. Eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The best we can hope for is a good theme/pilot score from Elfman and a competent composer to handle the actual scoring duties. TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the eventual composer talked about being the "second choice" and was asked to ape Elfman's style or something. I'll see if I can find the quotes.

BIG EYES was bad, I'll give you that. But if the project is right, I see no reason for why he can't come up with something good. I often meet people who think he "washed up" after BIG FISH, but I've liked almost every film since then - with the exception of the aforementioned BIG EYES and DUMBO. ALICE IN WONDERLAND is very uneven, but that prologue, pre-Wonderland, is amazing. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,473 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Big Eyes was okay, I guess, but very forgettable. I do remember liking Elfman's score in the context of the movie. Miss Peregrine was another one I watched and also forgot everything about it. Nothing was memorable about that one. Haven't seen Dumbo yet, and probably never will.

ddddeeee 259 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The only Burton movies that aren't part comedy are probably Planet of the Apes and Big Eyes. I think his funniest film is Sleepy Hollow, actually. Anyway, there's nothing to get excited about here. I always hope for a comeback for Burton, but this is far too on-the-nose a choice of project for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the idea is to get closer to the original New Yorker cartoons where Morticia is tall and striking and Gomez looks likes a weird ugly wart (clearly modeled on Peter Lorre I'd say) I'm not saying this is a good idea necessarily, considering how established he is in the public imagination as like a suave debonair figure, but it is a choice!
