Wrong. He is a credited composer, and he is a credited orchestrator. Hint: Both were box office hits.Jz

a. I'm sticking with Gavin Greenaway (he fits the criteria).b. If it's still wrong, one more hint is required.
c. "He is credited..." That really narrows it down.
d. "Box-office hit" can mean anything.

Ok I screwed something up along the line somewhere. The score that "he" (yes it's a he) orchestrated was not composed this year rather it was composed in 1997. The score in 1997 which "he" orchestrated was by the same composer which did the score that I originally said that "he" composed this year.So in fact "he" did not orchestrate the score that I originally said that "he" did this year but the composer that "he" orchestrated for in 1997 was in fact the same composer that composed the score that I originally said that "he" orchestrated this year. Is that clear?

Anyway sorry about that. However becuase of my mistake that adds an extra twist to the question. Who composed the score that I was originally talking about? Find the composer of the score that "he" orchestrated in 1997 and you'll know.
And no. My mistake was not intentional.

P.S. Look scoreguy, I don't memorize every single MV composer. I like Zimmer and a few of his MV buddies like HGW and J Powell....

John, it's been three days. Just cut your losses and give us the Martha Focking answer.

Oh well sorry.
The Answer:
"He" is.....Chris Boardman!!!!!
The Score this year that he helped compose is....Spy Kids!!!!!!!
And the score in '97 that he helped orchestate is....Mouse Hunt!!!!!
And the original score that I screwed up with is....The Mummy Returns!!!!
So you can see that I screwed the whole thing up because I got 2 Silvestri score's mixed up.
Go ahed send me hate mail, come burn my house and tar and feather me a public square. I deserve it.

P.S. Don't mind me.
