If true, it'll make Hans Zimmer look like a cloistered-up genius with nothing but a pencil and some sheet music in comparison. Say what you will about the guy, he's at least a bit more up-front about using assistants.

I've heard some rumors about Brian Tyler and Danny Elfman and ghostwriters too, by the way. Paul Mounsey's contribution to Epic is not an insubstantial one, apparently (would explain the Powell influence in that score), and Matthew Margeson did quite a bit of the first Expendables. Sadly I don't know the specifics. It makes me wonder just how many composers had their fingers in the Age of Ultron pie, in the end!

You know, I don't have a huge issue with multiple composers working on a score. What I do have an issue with is keeping it such a secret. If I really like a score (as is the case with A Good Day to Die Hard, which is one of my favorite modern action scores), I want to know at WHOM I can channel that positive energy! It's certainly not Beltrami anymore.

That's kind of how I feel, which is why I wanted to post this around and see if anyone can confirm, deny or knows more in general. I hope he's wrong but I don't really see why he would be.
