'Composer Harry Gregson-Williams Accuses Michael Mann of Scrapping Score for New Flick 'Blackhat'

Composer Harry Gregson-Williams of the new thriller flick "Blackhat" has accused director Michael Mann of “slicing and dicing” his score into something barely recognizable. Gregson-Williams wrote a brazen Facebook post in which he describes attending the film’s premiere and discovering that the score in the final version of the movie was not similar at all to the music he composed. "I would like it to be known for what it's worth that the 'score' for Blackhat may be credited to me but contains almost none of my compositions," Gregson-Williams wrote. The post continued to describe the score as “quasi-emotional (synth) string pieces that I’d never heard in my life before.” There is also some speculation over who wrote the music that is currently in the thriller, which stars Chris Hemsworth. "I knew of at least one other composer, a good one at that (!), that had put in months of work on this movie, just as I had, but this appeared to me to be in addition to both our contributions," he continued. "I can say nothing for certain except that I was not the author of most of what is now in the movie.”
