Second Choice
There was only one person who came to mind when James Cameron needed someone to compose the score of the movie. He really hoped to get the Irish singer-songwriter, Enya, to do it. For some reason, the singer declined, and the director hired James Horner instead. The two worked together previously when Horner composed the music for Aliens, Cameron’s 1986 movie.

Despite working together on a different project, Cameron was not the biggest fan of the composer after his experience with him on Aliens. He wasn’t Cameron’s first choice, but they managed to work together and put their differences aside. They managed to get along, and things went smoothly when it came to the composition of the film.
