Simon Franglen Scoring Antoine Fuqua’s ‘The Magnificent Seven’
Simon Franglen is currently recording his music for the upcoming The Magnificent Seven remake. The score is based on themes that late composer James Horner wrote before he passed away last summer. The movie is directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, King Arthur) and stars Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Lee Byung-hun, Manuel Garcia Rulfo, Martin Sansmeier, Haley Bennett and Peter Sarsgaard. The film is based on the 1960 classic western of the same title, which was itself based on Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and follows seven gun men in the old west who gradually come together to help a poor village against savage thieves. Roger Birnbaum (Rush Hour, The Vow, The Count of Monte Cristo) and Todd Black (The Pursuit of Happyness, A Knight’s Tale, The Equalizer) are producing the project. Franglen has collaborated with Horner as an arranger, score producer and synth programmer on numerous scores over the last seven year, including Avatar, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Karate Kid, Wolf Totem and The 33. He also produced the late composer’s last score for Fuqua’s Southpaw. The Magnificent Seven will be released on September 23, 2016 by Sony Pictures.

Excellent. Thank goodness somebody along the line decided to show some love and respect to the late Horner and not just hire Zimmer or Junkie XL.

So Tom, did you find out if the original comments by the director were indeed just wrongly chosen: did Horner write the score or already record (some or all) of it?

I'm so happy that they are using Horner's music!
