James Horner Didn't Score AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Because It Was "Just Dreadful"

In 2012, Oscar-winning composer James Horner, who is best known for scoring Field of Dreams, Braveheart, and Titanic , scored Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man . When the sequel was ready to be scored Horner passed on it and he was replaced by Hans Zimmer ("Man of Steel"). Horner recently explained to the fansite, James Horner Film Music, why he chose not to work on The Amazing Spider-Man franchise again.

JHFM: So The Amazing Spider-Man was quite unusual for you, it was probably the director's personality that brought you to this project, because he had a different vision for this film?



JAMES HORNER: He was very inexperienced and he and I had a very good relationship and the producers had their own opinion. And they didn't want his input. And then Sony had their own, they just wanted action.

To me, the whole thing about doing the movie was I liked the director and there was a chance to write something for the two lead characters and then she dies in the next movie. But the next movie ended up being so terrible, I didn't want to do it. It was just dreadful.
