soundtrack similarities
The similarities I mentioned previously between Tyler Bates’ score to 300 and Elliot Goldenthal’s soundtrack to Titus have been officially noted by Warner Brothers on the website for 300’s release on DVD:
Warner Bros. Pictures acknowledges and regrets that a number of the music cues for the score of "300" were, without our knowledge or participation, derived from music composed by Academy Award winning composer Elliot Goldenthal for the motion picture "Titus." Warner Bros. Pictures has great respect for Elliot, our longtime collaborator, and is pleased to have amicably resolved this matter.
As mentioned elsewhere, 300’s “Returns a King” borrows heavily from “Victorious Titus,” and Bates’ “Remember Us” owes a large debt to Goldenthal’s “Finale.” How large a debt Bates himself may owe to Goldenthal as part of the “amicable resolution” is unknown.
