Development
In January 2010, it was reported that musician-cum-multi-instrumentalist Owen Pallett would write the score for Rabbit Hole. However, Pallett declined on working on the film, despite completing much of the score written for three months. He described that he had to tour for his band and as the producers had not locked the picture, which might lead to his dates overlap with the film's post-production. Pallett described the working process in Hollywood being difficult as he had to satisfy every member from the production and music team, and the producers had brought him only during the post-production time, which was also one of his concerns on leaving the project.Later, that March, Abel Korzeniowski was announced to write the film score. But, by that July, composer Anton Sanko was announced to replace Korzeniowski. Sanko considered Rabbit Hole as one of his important scores, as he worked on several horror films, this film being a drama was much different from his other ventures. He also considered it much difficult owing to the challenges to match David Lindsay-Abaire's original play on which the film is based on, where he did not want the melancholy to overdo the film's plot. With each aspect of the film being incredibly well done, he wanted the music to follow the same route.
