He said he would “absolutely” be interested in composing for more mainstream Hollywood films. “I’m interested in the discipline and I’m interested in the challenge of working in the more traditional sense,” he said. “I look at working with [a traditional orchestra] as something I haven’t done yet and I’ve always been intrigued by it. I would be up for that challenge.”

He and co-composer Atticus Ross are currently writing the score for the Hollywood remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
