Elfman Replaced by Howard For Green Hornet Score

Even more trouble for the production team of "Green Hornet."

Spill.com is reporting that Danny Elfman is no longer producing the musical score for the Green Hornet film, even though he was at first contracted. He has been replaced by James Newton Howard.

The reason behind the switch was said to be scheduling issues. Elfman needs to finish scoring other films such as "Restless" and "The Next Three Days." However, Howard is busy as well, working on "Gnomeo and Juliet" as well as "Green Hornet."

Only time will tell if this is really a significant change to the film. "Green Hornet" hits theaters January 2011.

Yes, Elfman is unique; in that all his scores sound like the same "Danny Elfman" score. Same tone. Same instruments. Same general sound and flurishes. You always know its an Elfman score. Don't buy it? Go back and listen to the scores of every Tim Burton film from Pee Wee's Big Adventure to Beetlejuice to Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish... etc. All way too similar.
