That's music ripped from the official WOLFMAN website. It's more likely production music.

I suspected this wasn't legit. I suspect everything since that supposed Howard Shore-King Kong promo that made the rounds.

Well, I went to facebook and asked him...
I included the link and I hope he takes a moment to answer.
If he does, I'll let you know.

well why do you think the studio suddenly changed their minds and decided not to go ahead with Haslinger and back to Elfman?
Seems like a lot of arguments were going on in this production!

Interview with the director: http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/interviewsnews.php?id=14013
Rotten: Do you mind talking about the back and forth about the score? Elfman is back and I thought that worked out for the best.
Johnston: It does. Danny had to score a film that was half an hour longer (than what the film is now). And he had to score it very early. It was last summer, I think. He said, "This has happened to me before, and I know it's going to happen now. You're going to re-cut the film and my score isn't going to work." We re-cut the film, we put his score in. And what happened is he had themes he had spaced out and it worked great in his cut. When we took out that half hour, his themes were closer together. So things get familiar and you go, "Wait, I just heard that." We previewed the film, we all recognized it didn't work. But there was a reaction from someone high up at NBC/Universal, because a new trailer had been cut with the electronic score, someone said, "Hey, let's do the whole film that way!" It was something I reacted to pretty violently. That's the wrong idea, guys. They said they were going to try it. I had been so worn down, I said, "Okay, let's try it." They hired a guy who is a talented composer in his own right. They assigned him something that was almost impossible to do. When we put his music to the picture, even though the music was working, it was so out of context with what you were seeing. You can do anything in a trailer, put any music in and the audience doesn't see that trailer and go to the movie expecting that music. So the studio, to their credit, after they heard the new score, recognized Danny had a better score that matched the film. We then went back in to record about 15 minutes of new material.

A true horror story indeed. My sympathies go out to any young, up and coming composers working in film nowadays and trying to cope with all this sort of carry-on! I thank God, I have no interest in buying any of the new film soundtracks.

I wish the rest of it went thus: "...so we went up and found the guy and took a large filing cabinet and dropped it on his head, and, after that, we threw him against the wall several times before finding a particularly fat cleaning lady to sit on his neck while we all shouted at him the importance of keeping the hell out of the creative process and just doing what he did naturally, which was counting the dollars as they came in. He hesitated in replying, so we dropped several paperweights on his genitals before he relented and promised to avoid any process involving the making of any movie, be it design, casting or music. What made me proud was the fact that we handled a potentially troublesome situation in a realistic, adult manner..."

CHUD has a story with youtube clips of what is claimed to be the rejected Paul Haslinger score for THE WOLFMAN.
You can read and hear it all here:
http://chud.com/articles/articles/22588/1/THE-WOLFMAN-SCORE-THAT-WASN039T/Page1.html
James
I got a email back from Haslinger this morning and he confirmed that this is NOT his music.
Ford A. Thaxton
No offense, Ford, but we already knew that before you confirmed it for us. This music pre-dates Haslinger's involvement with the movie.

I sit corrected.
But someone should have told CHUD.
James
Uh, I told CHUD, right in the comments section of their article. Have they corrected? Nope. Now the story has been picked up on other sites (The Playlist, Dread Central to name two) and in this day and age of blogs, no one seems to be confirming anything anymore. This is exactly the same thing that happened with ALICE IN WONDERLAND, where some nitwit thought the music on the official ALICE site was from Elfman's score (it's Brand X) and the official ALICE Twitter account, stupid as it is, decided to tweet the same thing. HEAD 'SPLODE.
