Danny Elfman to score The Hunger Games and Oz

*Danny Elfman mentioned in a recent interview that he will be scoring
_The Hunger Games_ and _Oz: The Great And Powerful_.*

Buzzine managed to sit down with the prolific composer for an
interview at an event to celebrate his 25-year career in collaboration
with Tim Burton.

It seems that Elfman is in talks to score Suzanne Collins adaptation
_The Hunger Games_, as well as possibly teaming up once again with Sam
Raimi to score the upcoming prequel _Oz: The Great And Powerful_.

It comes as a surprise to some that he is reuniting with Raimi after
comments the former made in interviews post _Spider-Man 2_.

Nevertheless, at the QA with Buzzine, it seemed that Elfman was fully
on board for composing for Raimi again.

In the interview, Elfman goes on to explain what this year has in
store for him, and why it’s the busiest he has ever been:

“I have five films booked, which is the most I’ve ever had
in the future, which is weird. I’ve never been able to see more
than two or three ahead, and I don’t like, actually, having my
future all booked up.

“It’s a two-Tim Burton year, and a Sam Raimi, so
there’s three. I’m not going to say no to Tim and Sam ---
that’s already three movies.

“And then _Men In Black_, well of course I don’t want
somebody else to do number 3, so there was another one.

“And then another one called _The Hunger Games_ popped up, which
seemed like a really interesting thing.”

Those Tim Burton films, _Dark Shadows_ and _Frankenweenie_, are both
due out in 2012, as is _Men In Black III_, which is currently being
filmed.
