The report is available for viewing: cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9803/17/oscar.composers DANNY ELFMAN: OSCAR'S ODDMAN Entertainment Weekly's story for the week of March 13 may have had Celine Dion on the cover, but soundtracks were the main focus - including a sidebar on Danny Elfman: "According to showbiz logic, Danny Elfman should be a whatever-happened to story by now. The onetime frontman of the '80s new-wave combo Oingo Boingo has escaped a Wedding Singer style fate by composing music for flicks like Batman, Mission:Impossible, and To Die For. Which puts the 44-year-old iconoclast in a weird place: juggling dual Oscar nods for Men In Black and Good Will Hunting "My underground status," Elfman sighs, "is quickly disappearing." Complete interview and photo. DANNY ELFMAN'S INSTINCT The Internet Movie Database lists Elfman as composer for Instinct (also known as Ishmael). Instinct pairs Cuba Gooding Jr. with fellow Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins. The film, directed by Jon Turteltaub, is before cameras in Florida and Africa. Instinct, which was inspired by Daniel Quinn's novel, concerns the relationship between an anthropologist - who lived among mountain gorillas in Africa before being sent to a mental institution for killing poachers - and a young psychiatrist. (Adapted from The Hollywood Reporter). The latest report (from Cinescape.Com) "Anthony Hopkins was side-lined with torn ligaments, according to London's The Daily Mirror, putting the breaks on the filming of his gorilla flick Instinct. The paper quotes an insider as saying, "It is absolute chaos [on the set]" because of the movie's focus on Hopkins' character. No word was given on when the Oscar-winning star would return."
