He did what? Work for the Orion Pictures. On what film? Outland.
Outland was not an Orion Pictures movie. The Hand was.
Not really clear on your attitude... I am just trying to help you correct some erroneous info. Your website says the source for this info is "an interesting post I found. Very interesting: (I forget who made the post)".
I believe Goldsmith was slated or wanted for Bluth's second animated film "An American Tail". But Goldsmith was already busy with other projects and couldn't do it.
Perhaps the crabby attitude and farting synths had something to do with this as well?
Perhaps that was all thrown in to the mix. But then again, if crabby attitudes played a part in nixing careers, Sam Peckinpah, John Ford and multitude of other filmmakers would've hardly made it to a film set.

Supposedly Goldsmith met with Bluth and agreed to do it, but was disappointed later when his agent informed him that he had no room on his schedule for it.
It might be worth mentioning that Goldsmith was also set to score Dragonheart, before a change in the director caused scheduling problems. Goldsmith had personally approached the original director to offer to do the film, after being excited by the script.
