Simon Franglen (born Westminster, London, England) is a composer of film music.
He worked with James Horner on the score of Avatar as electronic music arranger, including its main theme I See You.
When James Horner died in a plane crash in June 2015,[1], with the second film still two years away from having a completed script, a new composer was needed.[2] Franglen, who had collaborated frequently with Horner in the past, was publicly announced as the new composer for the franchise in December 2019.[3]
After Horner's death, in late 2017, James Cameron asked Franglen to read the scripts for the sequels. The goal of starting the collaboration early was to develop the score in parallel to the film.[4] Franglen composed the music for Disney's Animal Kingdom attraction Pandora: The World of Avatar and the score for Avatar: The Way of Water.
He is set to compose music for Avatar 3, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 as well.[5]
