The composer has been replaced…

There's yet more trouble in Wolfman land - composer Danny elfman is no longer working on the film.

Despite an enthusiastic thumbs up from current director Joe Johnston when he signed on to write the score, Elfman is now off the project, with the official release talking up "scheduling issues".

While that's a possibility, Cinemascore did a little digging and discovered that Elfman had in fact completed an entire set of tracks for the film, which will now be likely consigned to the dustbin of history.

In his place? Er… Paul Halsinger, former Tangerine Dream member and composer for those horror classics Underworld, Prom Night and Crank. Which likely means the producers are aiming for a rockier, more contemporary feel for the music, much like the most recent trailer.
