ScoreKeeper here... About a month ago an AICN reader sent in a note alerting me to the fact that Danny Elfman was listed on IMDB as the composer for Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming HELLBOY 2: THE GOLDEN ARMY (2008) instead of longtime Del Toro collaborator Marco Beltrami. I then remembered a similar occurrence a few years back during production of TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES (2003) where Beltrami’s name was replaced on IMDB by Danny Elfman. That turned out to be completely untrue so I chalked up the more recent IMDB Elfman/Beltrami switch to somebody’s wishful intervention. Well, it seems the Official Fansite of Guillermo Del Toro (www.deltorofilms.com) has released a statement issued by Guillermo himself on their message boards confirming Elfman as the composer for HELLBOY 2. By the way he describes it, Elfman fans should be in for a real treat. I’m all for more Elfman “Ta-de-dum’s.” HERE'S THE DIRECT LINK!!!
