Doesn't look that great, from what I've seen and Downey has adopted a silly voice for it. Looks similar to OZ and those ALICE IN WONDERLAND films. Lots of fake looking digital trickery. BUT!!! Danny Elfman (and Co?) might rescue some of it. No CD announced That's a bummer (if you're old school). Sorry if there's another thread. I couldn't find it!    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 7:10 AM     By:   Montana Dave   (Member) The score, let's hope for the best. The Film...just looking at the poster image on Amazon Prime gave me the shudders. Why Mr. Downey Jr. decided to do this is anyone's guess. This year's version of 'CATS'? Is Judi Dench involved as a voice?    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 7:16 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Can I chime in and say it looks horrible, or will I be accused of being a hater and negative contributor on FSM?    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 7:20 AM     By:   TacktheCobbler   (Member) So far it seems to be getting mostly negative reviews. The headline of the review in my local newspaper today is actually "History repeats itself with 'Dolittle' bomb," clearly referencing the Rex Harrison version (the initial paragraph actually talks about that film's failure critically and commercially).    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 7:41 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Three fails for me. RDJ doing an impersonation of Johnny Depp doing Doctor Dolittle, talking animals and... a dragon. A dragon?! Well four if you include the hideous CGI.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 7:53 AM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) There was a fella used to work in my office known as Dolittle,only he didn't talk to animals.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 8:09 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Haha. But he was a HARD WORKER, wasn't he Damian?    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 9:35 AM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) Haha. But he was a HARD WORKER, wasn't he Damian? Yes,if that's a euphemism for lazy bastard??    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 9:50 AM     By:   ddddeeee   (Member) My first impression is that it's Elfman in his modern fantasy mode with a fair bit more quirk. The themes aren't as instant as they usually are - the main theme recalls the main theme to Oz (minus the Oh Canada section). There's a very nice theme for Dolittle's late wife, and there's some very exciting action music with some fun percussion stuff. If you didn't like Oz or the quirkier sections of Alice Through the Looking Glass, you won't like this. I enjoyed it, but I'm looking forward to 'The Woman in the Window' for something different. Or if it's a quasi sequel to 'The Girl on the Train', that's fine, too - love that score.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 10:01 AM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) This is definitely crazy, that a Danny Elfman score didn't have a thread before the day the film opened.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 10:05 AM     By:   ddddeeee   (Member) This is definitely crazy, that a Danny Elfman score didn't have a thread before the day the film opened.

I made one when his involvement was first announced, but I couldn't find it again. Still crazy that no one cares! Is it? Looks like it's going to be the biggest flop of the year (and we're barely two weeks in!). People don't care. All the busiest threads for upcoming scores are for sure-to-be-big franchise movies. Nobody's posting about Doyle's Artemis Fowl or Giacchino's Utropica or any number of scores by name composers for the same reason.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 1:25 PM     By:   SBD   (Member) Can I chime in and say it looks horrible, or will I be accused of being a hater and negative contributor on FSM? If you think this movie looks horrible, that just makes you someone with two eyes and a functioning brain. $180 million for this? Geesh. Still, I'm sure the music will be fantastic.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 1:34 PM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) This is definitely crazy, that a Danny Elfman score didn't have a thread before the day the film opened.

Yeah, it's just crazy because we used to talk about these scores at length and now the threads come and go so fast.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 1:36 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Nobody's posting about Doyle's Artemis Fowl or Giacchino's Utropica or any number of scores by name composers for the same reason. Neither film and neither of those two sounds tracks is released. What can we say about "Giacchino's Utropica", which we haven't heard? What can we say about "Doyle's Artemis Fowl" which we haven't heard?    Posted:   Jan 16, 2020 - 1:40 PM     By:   ddddeeee   (Member) Nobody's posting about Doyle's Artemis Fowl or Giacchino's Utropica or any number of scores by name composers for the same reason.

What can we say about "Doyle's Artemis Fowl" which we haven't heard? ...that was exactly my point.    Posted:   Jan 17, 2020 - 8:22 PM     By:   Bond1965   (Member) The film is TERRIBLE. I mean it's just a misfire on so many levels. And Elfman's score sounds like a rehash of ALICE and OZ without any memorable themes.

You can literally listen to the whole thing on YouTube for free.    Posted:   Jan 18, 2020 - 4:42 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Listening on Spotify now. It's textbook Elfman alright. Almost a 'Now That's What I Call Danny Elfman' kind of thing. Of course, if you dig his style, job's a goodun.     General Discussion: DOLITTLE (Danny Elfman)    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
