DANNY ELFMAN (Composer) is one of the film world's most versatile and successful contemporary composers. Spider-Man reunited Elfman with director Sam Raimi, with whom he collaborated on Darkman, Army of Darkness and A Simple Plan. He has also had a prolific collaboration with director Tim Burton, most recently for the Burton-directed Planet of the Apes, starring Mark Wahlberg. Also for Burton, Elfman scored Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman (which won Elfman a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental and a nomination for Best Score), Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Mars Attacks! and Sleepy Hollow. Elfman also scored the Tim Burton-produced The Nightmare Before Christmas, receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Score. Elfman earned Academy Award nominations for his work on Good Will Hunting and Men in Black. His other feature credits include Proof of Life, The Family Man, Anywhere But Here, A Civil Action, Dolores Claiborne, and the Grammy-nominated Dick Tracy, Darkman, Sommersby, Dead Presidents, Black Beauty, To Die For, Mission Impossible and The Frighteners. Elfman was a founding member of Oingo Boingo, playing energetic, eclectic and individualist rock and roll for more than a decade.
