Last week, composer Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Man On Fire, The Town) was surprised to find that his score for Michael Mann's new cyber-thriller Blackhat was not included in the final cut of the film. Over the years, Mann (who's new film joins the list of some of his more notable works such as The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, Collateral and Public Enemies), has established quite a reputation for cutting and changing the scores for his films drastically to the point where they are no longer recognizable. Gregson-Williams did not receive the news so well and took to Facebook to express his dissatisfaction.
2 days later, Mann responded when Variety reached out to him to hear his side of the story.
