Craig Armstrong

Craig Armstrong first made his big splash with Baz Luhrmann's modern update of Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. Notable scores include The Bone Collector, Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge, Love Actually, The Incredible Hulk, and two Oliver Stone films: World Trade Center and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
Armstrong's specialty is combining orchestral, choral, and electronic elements into a haunting and sometimes driving composition. This is best showcased in the track "Escape" from Plunkett and Macleane, used in many a trailer since.
