It's probably a composer assignment like this that's the only thing that would ever make me watch a film so blatantly out of my wheelhouse. But considering how Elfman was announced for he Hunger Games in a similar way, I'll believe it when I have the CD in my hands.
The film will probably end up risible and it's had a lot of press regarding it's casting changes, but it will probably be a huge hit too, based on the book sales and morbid curiosity. I love that Elfman (if it's true) is willing to take on such a property. The guy likes to tackle all subjects. If nothing else, the film will sound good, with or without the moans!!
Absolute ZERO interest in a film version of poorly written Twilight fan fiction turned into mommy porn , but for Elfman I will be all over ( maybe not the best turn of phrase ) this album... provided we get a score album.
For me, Elfman's dramatic music is so much more interesting than his superhero / fantasy scores ( just not my cup of tea ). This is excellent news...
Quality of the books aside, this is one of Elfman's most interesting assignments in quite a while. If anything, I sort of imagine him coming up with something akin to his own "To Die For."
Consider too that it may just be a very brief score in a film with mostly songs, like "American Hustle."
I have no particular interest in the film (or book, for that matter), but I'm curious to hear the musical universe he will create for this. These days, I'm more into his laidback, textural affairs than the big and bombastic stuff.
Elfman has never really done any sex-themed movies, unless you count HEARTBREAKERS where he did the theme -- but there was no real sex in it; it was just a politically correct comedy about seduction.

about pretty women (mother and sister) using her sexuality (and other tricks) for marrying millionaires. 100% politically correct.
Well, I meant politically correct in the sense of explicitness or overt sexuality. The mise-en-scene is pretty family-friendly, I would say, regardless of the story.
