And that Pirates theme is just a rehash of his theme for The Rock a few decades earlier

Yeah, if you've ever read Cloud Atlas, it makes me wonder if David Mitchell was friends with a former collaborator of Zimmer's (or if the industry is so rife with such problems), because the way Zimmer appears to operate and aggrandize himself sure does have a whiff of Vyvyan Ayrs...

I watched gladiator for the first time a few weeks ago and there was a few times where the soundtrack sounded very pirates-y. I have no idea if it was actually Hanz Zimmer who did that one though

Zimmer scored Gladiator and was the score producer on Pirates three years later.
