You may notice a heavy use of silence in certain scenes. In addition to providing the base themes for the THG franchise, JNH borrowed from some interesting sources to fill in the gaps. However, this development definitely affected how much of JNH's score made it into the film. The score is one of the last steps of the film process, so no one was too worried. It was the calm before the storm and Danny Elfman was no longer doing the score four months before the film's release.
