Universal Orlando Hires Danny Elfman to Compose the Music for Epic Universe

Legendary composer Danny Elfman has been tapped to compose music for Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe

Dark Universe, a Universal-Monstors-themed land that will call the upcoming Epic Universe theme park home, is seemingly getting an epic musical score. Danny Elfman, renowned for his collaborations with director Tim Burton on films such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” has been tapped to compose the music for the new land.

Elfman, in an interview with Deadline, mentioned that he is currently dividing his time between various types of music projects, including classical, rock and roll, and notably, “monster music” for a theme park in Orlando. Given the context and the development of the Epic Universe, it seems the only park Elfman could be plausibly referring to that this music is Epic Universe.

Elfman is widely known for his involvement in a myriad of other notable projects. In the same interview with Deadline, he noted he is excited about returning to the world of “Beetlejuice” for a sequel and has also worked on the score for the TV series “Wednesday,” executive-produced by Tim Burton. Despite his success, Elfman related he is never happy with the status quo and is always pushing himself to “keep working on new, challenging things.”

Elfman’s expansive career includes work with other directors like Sam Raimi, contributing to films such as “Spider-Man,” “Spider-Man 2,” “Meet the Robinsons,” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” His versatility across different genres of music, from film scoring to theme park attractions, continues to demonstrate his significant influence in the world of music and entertainment.
