Marco Beltrami

After having his mainstream breakthrough with the Wes Craven slasher film Scream in 1996, American composer Marco Beltrami has become celebrated for his stirring, percussive orchestral scores for horror, action, superhero, and science fiction movies, including further collaborations with Craven. His first of multiple Academy Award nominations came with the 2007 remake of the Western 3:10 to Yuma. Fifteen years after the first installment, 2011's Scream 4 was Beltrami's fourth straight score for the series. In 2015, he collaborated with Philip Glass on music for the Marvel Comics film Fantastic Four, and in 2018, his score was one of the few things that could be heard in the hit horror movie A Quiet Place. He followed up two years later with A Quiet Place Part II, and returned to Marvel without Glass for 2021's Venom. Subsequent Beltrami projects have included John Woo's 2023 thriller Silent Night.
