About the Composer(s)
Harry Gregson-Williams is a veteran English composer, conductor, and orchestrator whose career spans more than three decades of film, television, and video game scoring. Classically trained as a chorister at St John's College School in Cambridge before attending Stowe School and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, he built his reputation through long-running collaborations with directors including Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, and Andrew Adamson. His filmography includes major franchise work such as the *Shrek* series, the *Chronicles of Narnia* films, and the *Metal Gear* video game series, alongside acclaimed dramatic scores for *The Martian*, *Kingdom of Heaven*, and *Man on Fire*. For Ben Affleck's crime thriller *Animals* (2026), Gregson-Williams crafts a suspenseful, dread-inducing score to capture the high stakes of a kidnapping crisis.
