Según un post de un usuario de FSM de 2015, esto podría ser lo que espera cuando lanzen Darkman completa:
This is another entry in my Complete Score Breakdown Series, focusing on the complete scores to films that have had abbreviated previous releases or have gone unreleased.
Today we are looking at Darkman (1990) by Danny Elfman.
I am a huge fan of the early superhero/comic book scores by Danny Elfman – scores such as Batman, Batman Returns, Dick Tracy, etc. I also really dig Darkman and think it’s one of his most fun scores. I definitely like a lot of Elfman’s stuff throughout his entire career, but there’s just something special about his early days, and Darkman is a great entry.
The CD itself runs 40 minutes, and after watching the film I learned the complete film score in fact runs a surprisingly lengthy 70 minutes, resulting in nearly 30 minutes of unreleased score. This is some great stuff, too! I really do like the CD – although the tracks “Carnival from Hell” and “Love Theme” don’t do anything for me – but after hearing the complete film score I strongly feel that a lot of the best material was left off the album, unfortunately.
Some of the most thrilling, bracingly dynamic action/adventure material written for the film won’t be on the CD; these cues will be the 4-minute “Westlake’s End”, where Durant and his goons destroy Westlake’s lab and the scientist himself, as well as the entire chase sequence towards the end of the film between Durant’s men and Darkman, which runs over 8 minutes if you combined all cues. That action material is frickin’ solid. How...how...how could that entire 8-minute mélange of action music be completely unreleased from the CD? A battle royale between Darkman and bad guys in the warehouse, on the rooftops, dangling from a helicopter...yeesh. Just vintage, pure adrenaline Elfman action music that was a glorious treat to discover and I would pay the price for an expansion for this unreleased material alone.
Elsewhere in the film, the opening pre-credits sequence has some great, fun stuff as Durant’s men takes out their competition – some really devilish and playful dark suspense stuff. The nearly 5-minute’s worth of unreleased material for the Chinatown meet has some great stuff too (right before the “Double Durant” scene).
There are lots of other very good cues in the film, some a little too short to really be enjoyed, but plenty of others that would make an expansion a very worthwhile endeavor, and as Darkman hails from one of my favorite Elfman eras, I seriously hope this one gets the Deluxe treatment one day…
