2001 is an interesting case. The existing classical music was originally a temp score and then the film was fully scored by Alex North but they decided to just keep the temp score. North's unused score was recorded years later and I believe it's still available.
Just curious Mike, does a composer usually get paid for his time if the score in the end is not used in a movie? I assume that would be driven by a contract but is their a norm?
I don't know for sure but I would assume they would be paid at least a partial fee. With many parts of the film and TV industries the contracts have multiple stages of a project with parts of the payment sent out when each milestone is met. I would think that composers would have something similar, but someone who does film scoring could clarify.
