The closest thing I know of is when I attended the premiere of a new work by Lalo Schifrin, which the CSO commissioned, called Fantasy for Screenplay and Orchestra. Barenboim introduced it as "a film score for a film which doesn't exist." It was pretty good, if a little generic. I met Schifrin afterwards and got his autograph, so that was fun.
