Danny Elfman To Replace Junkie XL Scoring Justice League.
According to THR, Justice Leauge is about to see another shakeup behind the scenes. It appears as if Junkie XL will be leaving the project and none other than cinema legend Danny Elfman will be replacing him. Junkie XL spoke to THR filling them in on the situation.
“As my mentor, Hans Zimmer told me — you haven’t made it in Hollywood as a composer until you get replaced on a project. So I guess [I] finally graduated this week. It pains me to leave the project, but a big thanks to Zack for asking me to part of his vision, and I wish Danny, Joss and Warner Bros all the best with Justice League.”
This frank account of the proceedings is surprisingly refreshing opposed to the usual prewritten soundbites we normally hear. After Zach Synder was forced to step away due to a family tragedy. It seems as if Warner Brothers is working overtime to change the direction of the film. Bringing Joss Whedon in to take over from Zach due to his untimely departure. As well as the rumours of massive reshoots to include more Wonder Woman in the film. After the success of Wonder Woman earlier this summer. One can hope that these changes are being made to simply make a good film even better but, it can not be understated that just a couple weeks ago Warner Brothers were constantly scrutinised for reactionary decision making in regard to the DCEU.
Let’s hope that these decisions are being made for the right reasons and that we will all be blown away by Justice League come November.
