ANOTHER TROPHY FOR 'HOUSEWIVES' TO DUST 9/12/05: Danny's theme for Desperate Housewives won the Emmy Award for "Outstanding Title Music". On September 20th Hollywood Records will release a song compilation tie-in soundtrack album from the show. Elfman's theme made the album, but none of the regular series underscore or Steve Bartek's pilot score are included. RAIMI INVADED BY BODY SNATCHER? 9/12/05: At a press conference for The Corpse Bride North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Danny Elfman gave the straight goods on the battle behind-the-scenes on Spider-Man 2. Danny told Devin Faraci of Chud.com: "Spider-Man 2 was a miserable experience... My connection to Sam got completely severed. As far as I'm concerned, he went to sleep and somebody put a pod next to him and when he awoke, he wasn’t the same person I've known for a decade." Elfman then said he would not work with Raimi again. "He went from right there, number 2 on my list of favorite directors, to the last... To the exact opposite of everything I look for in a film experience. Everything I could do on Spider-Man ... Couldn't do on Spider-Man 2. He got so intensely attached to the temp music, I couldn't even adapt my own music. I couldn't get close enough to me." "It's the first time I've ever walked from a director in twenty years, and hopefully the last time. He became intolerable. I've been on some heavy duty films, so to say that it had to be pretty bad. I have been in war zones you wouldn't believe in 55 films. But this is the first time I've said, I've had it. It's just not worth it. I would rather go back to waiting tables than to do Spider-Man 2 again." ELFMAN BOOKED 9/12/05: Danny Elfman has signed on to score the live-action version of Charlotte's Web starring Dakota Fanning and directed by Gary (Thirteen Going On Thirty) Winick and Walt Disney Pictures' CG-animated A Day With Wilbur Robinson, directed by Stephen J. Anderson. Both films are set for release in 2006. |
