15 Mind-Blowing Facts About Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy
7. Sam Raimi And Danny Elfman's Epic Falling Out
When it was revealed that Danny Elfman had contributed to the score of Avengers: Age of Ultron, many of us jumped to the conclusion that he must have been hired by Marvel to create a new theme for Spider-Man. After all, his work went a long way in establishing the tone of Sam Raimi's trilogy, so no one would have blamed Kevin Feige for turning to him to do the same again. Spider-Man, of course, wasn't in that movie. In fact, Elfman is probably still trying to forget his time working on this character as it sounds like he had a pretty hellish time during the production of the 2004 sequel. It was so bad that the composer initially refused to refused to return for the third instalment, with only Christopher Young was credited when the movie came out. Young also worked on Spider-Man 2, and it's widely believe that he was brought in to change some of Elfman's work. It's generally accepted that the composer had a big falling out with Raimi. When asked about his relationship with the direction, Elfman has since been quoted as saying: "To see such a profound negative change in a human being was almost enough to make me feel like I didnt want to make films anymore." Ouch!
