Zimmer is often accused of scoring more movies than he actually does, because other composers are told to simply copy him. Whether you're actually paying for the real deal or not, your movie is going to end up with the same sound.
- twoodfin 10y agoAs this article points out, Zimmer "scores more movies than he actually does" because he's built a kind of film score workshop where dozens of collaborators turn out scores in his style by the bushel. I first discovered this when Pandora spun up a rousing number from Klaus Badelt's Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack and I swore I was listening to Gladiator. Badelt is a longtime Zimmer collaborator. It's interesting that Zimmer himself took credit for composing the music for the Pirates sequels once the franchise was an (unexpected) smash.
