Danny Elfman's music will not be heard in Joe Johnston's troubled remake of The Wolfman when the movie is finally released on February 12, 2010.

Or maybe it was just the full moon. A lycanthropic Danny Elfman was last seen running through the woods with three cans worth of Barbasol smeared all over his naked body, singing Oingo Boingo's "Pedestrian Wolves", and waving around fistfuls of disposable razors. No one was injured this time.

Taking Woodstock reunites Danny Elfman with Hulk director Ang "Why can't I quit you" Lee -- ah, yes, your suspicions of the multiple simultaneous camera perspectives in HULK being inspired by the old Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music documentary seem to be justified. Rumors are the dynamic Elfman/Lee duo are also working on a new film mashup to be called MILKback Mountain.

"I'm trying to interpret the film through the director's head, but it all comes out through me. So, a composer is kind of like a psychic medium." -- Danny Elfman
