You mean this as an alternative to, say, a composer who was working as part of a creative team and who was ASKED SPECIFICALLY by the director to make use of John Williams's original themes in his score?

I suppose you don't like the idea of David Arnold re-using John Barry's 007 theme in his Bond films either...
