ScoreKeeper here with some rather intriguing developments regarding the scoring of NACHO LIBRE.
According to Steve Bartek (Elfman’s orchestrator for the last 20 years), Danny has removed his name from the credits of the film.
Steve posted a note in the forum section of his web site regarding this recent development.
Here is the aforementioned quote:
Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:22 am Post subject: Nacho Libre disclaimer a warning to all - Danny has taken his name off of Nacho Libre - apparently a couple of the main cues we spent lots of time on we taken out and replaced with music Danny didn't want to be associated with (and I believe he was upset about the way the studio treated him in doing the replacement - not very above board- so most of the score is still Danny - but his name will not be there Steve
Looks like another film scoring soap opera to weed through. We’ll keep a close eye on this and see where it ends up."

Wow, seriously? Okay, sure...you do that.
Does it matter if he takes his name off? We all know Danny Elfman does the music for every movie made, ever.
