Universal goes back to original score
Paul Haslinger (former member of Tangerine Dream) is out. Danny Elfman is back in on The Wolfman.
That’s the word from MovieScore Magazine who reports Universal’s remake, directed by Joe Johnston, is indeed going back to the classical score Elfman created for the film. If you recall, Universal announced last November that Haslinger was replacing Elfman for unknown reasons.
Although Elfman’s score is being put back into the picture, it doesn’t mean he’s available to complete what he started. He’s currently working on Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. To help finish the music in time, Universal has called on composer Conrad Pope (who served as an orchestrator on Elfman’s score for Sleepy Hollow), so the piece is still in good hands!
