‘F9’ Composer Brian Tyler Says Character, Not Action, Drives the Score
Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorBrian Tyler has composed music for films including “Iron Man 3” and “Crazy Rich Asians,” but perhaps his most enduring work is the music of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, which has his stamp on five of the previous films in the massive hit series.He’s back for another ride with “F9: The Fast Saga,” along with director Justin Lin. The two joined the series together for 2006’s “Tokyo Drift.” This outing sees Lin take the film back to its central theme of family.On the surface, while international espionage, cars, planes and even outer space propel the action, the wall-to-wall music centers on the characters, through a complex string of themes.
