Green Hornet gets a new composer

Due to scheduling conflicts with working on Gus Van Sant’s next film, composer Danny Elfman is off of Sony’s The Green Hornet, and in for a replacement is James Newton Howard (via /Film). The film has been riddled with setbacks and recasting, but I wouldn’t look to far into this. Both composer’s know how to compose action and superhero films, with Elfman’s Spider-Man and Batman from 1989 and Howard with his collaborative work with Hans Zimmer on the Nolan Batman films.

The film is set for a January 2011 release.
