The second paragraph: "Elfman has already written and recorded what, by all accounts was a traditional, grandly gothic effort a la Kilar’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula."

It's a simple case of the score no longer fitting the film following a re-edit, and the composer not being available to make adjustments to their score in order to accommodate the changes. There's nothing to indicate that the filmmakers were displeased with Elfman's score.

This seems to be a classic example of THAXTON's LAWS OF REJECTED FILM SCORES
In this case LAW #1
1.) The Film didn't turn out as well as expected.
Scores are often rejected because the film didn't preview very well for WHATEVER Reason and the only thing they can do at this late state is RE-CUT AND RESCORE
As a rule this is more often then not just trying to POLISH A TURD in my experience.
The cases where a Bad or weak film get rescored vastly outnumber the cases of good films getting rescored.
Also when you go from a score by Danny Elfman to Paul Hasslinger you know that somewhere along the line someone has decided that the film needs to be closer to UNDERWORLD then say SLEEPY HOLLLOW....
I would suspect that the film didn't test well with the Younger (and target Demo) audience.
And they are now dumbing it in Jan, the month that studios dump their weaker product as a rule...
Oh well,such is life in Hollywood...

At least Danny has some material he can use again. Were I he, I'd laugh all the way to the bank!
Who the hell is Hasslinger?

They should have gone with Morgan and Stromberg and a newly recorded version of the original Universal themes.
