PEE-WEE'S NEXT BIG ADVENTURE
He's a loner, he's a rebel, he's the frantic boy-in-a-man's-body Pee-wee Herman and he's headed back to the big screen.

"I've had a nice vacation from Pee-wee and now I'm ready to go back to work rejuvenated," Paul Reubens recently told syndicated columnist Cindy Pearlman. "I know you've read reports that I've retired Pee-wee forever, but it was all lies."

He returns to theaters in the superhero comedy MYSTERY MEN, as Spleen Man. He'll also voice Monkeybone in the live action-animated film of the same that stars Brendan Fraser and Rose McGowan and is based on the DARK TOWN graphic novel by Kaja Blackley.

Reubens says his upcoming Disney film will be "Pee-wee's autobiography," and will "show what happens when Pee-wee gets famous and it changes his life completely." [Source: Mr. Showbiz]

So what does this all mean? New Pee-Wee music by Danny Elfman, that's what!

Position Impossible! POSITION IMPOSSIBLE!
It was all but expected - Danny Elfman would collaborate with John Woo on the next MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE picture. After all, the music Danny Elfman provided for the film was among it's highlights and marked a new approach for Danny in scoring films.

However it has been confirmed that Woo will once again work with Hans Zimmer. Their past collaboration was on BROKEN ARROW (Zimmer did not score Woo's FACE/OFF but Media Ventures member John Powell did).  This news came the same week that confirmation that Nicolai Piovani would score HOOFBEATS and not Danny Elfman. A bad week for fans indeed!


THE STINK OVER INSTINCT
INSTINCT OST DannyElfman's latest score INSTINCT is a lush work incorporating choir, full orchestra and his requisite collection of samples. I've been listening to the score daily and each time I realize that it is not the disappointment that many seem to find it. Indeed it is beautiful (especially track 2 "Into The Wild") and it's startling to hear the usage of brass (in contrast A SIMPLE PLAN features none). John Mullin kindly donated his time to write his impressions on the score... Read and listen along with 5 Real Audio sound clips.
