Nick Glennie-Smith

Although Nick Glennie-Smith has composed scores for films such as The Man in the Iron Mask, We Were Soldiers, Ella Enchanted, and Secretariat, his largest role has been as a conductor for Hans Zimmer and his proteges. The scores he has conducted run from Zimmer's The Lion King, Crimson Tide, Da Vinci Code and the Pirates of the Caribbean films to Steve Jablonsky's Transformers films and Henry Jackman's X-Men: First Class. His highest-profile assignment as a composer, however, was for Michael Bay's The Rock. Glennie-Smith and Harry Gregson-Williams composed the bulk of this highly derivative yet highly enjoyable and pulse-pounding score. Hans Zimmer composed the theme heard during the main titles.
